Using the status toolbar
The status toolbar provides quick access to many FileMaker Pro menu
commands. In all modes, it includes navigation tools, customizable buttons,
and a layout bar for working with layouts. In Layout mode, it includes layout
tools. Move the pointer over a button to see its description. You can also switch
modes by clicking buttons in the status toolbar. The buttons in the status toolbar
vary depending on which mode you’re in.
For more information, see Help.
Viewing records
FileMaker Pro provides three views of each layout: form, list, and table. When
you change views, you temporarily change the way records display or print.
Layout mode Determine how information is presented on your screen or in printed
reports, labels, and forms. Design layouts for specific tasks, like data
entry or printing invoices or envelopes. Select and arrange fields and
other objects to modify an existing layout or create new layouts.
Preview mode See how data in forms or reports will look before you print. Preview
mode is especially useful for viewing layouts with multiple columns
(like mailing labels) and reports with summaries.
To view records Do this in Browse mode or Find mode
Individually Choose View menu > View as Form, or click Form View in
the layout bar.
In a list Choose View menu > View as List, or click List View in the
layout bar.
In a spreadsheet-like table Choose View menu > View as Table, or click Table View
in the layout bar.
