Creating layouts and reports | 99
When you create a database file, FileMaker Pro automatically creates a
Standard Form layout for the initial table, and for each newly added table that
contains fields.
Tab controls are a useful way of organizing data. For example, in a personnel
database, you could create tab panels for the employee’s photo, job description,
and financial information. To create a tab control, in Layout mode, choose
Insert menu > Tab Control or click the Tab Control tool. For more information,
see Help.
