Creating layouts and reports
FileMaker Pro layouts determine how information is organized for viewing,
printing, reporting, finding, and entering data. Layouts don’t store your data—
they just display it. Layouts are sometimes called reports, especially when
printed.
You can create as many layouts as you need for a file (for example, layouts for
entering data, reporting summaries, or printing mailing labels). You can
change a layout’s design without affecting the data or other layouts for the file.
Layouts can include certain fields and exclude others.When you change the
data in a field (in Browse mode), the changes are reflected in the same field for
the same record on all the layouts in the file.
