Finding data in related fields
You can enter find criteria in related fields that are displayed in a portal or
directly on a layout.
When you perform a find in a related field, FileMaker Pro displays all the
records that have a related record matching the criteria you enter. For example,
suppose you have an invoice file that displays line items as related records in a
portal. To find all invoices listing a computer, type
Computer in the Item
field in the portal. For information about related fields, see
chapter 4, “Working
with related tables and files.”
