FILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 33
Description
This script step is useful when you begin a script to make sure the user starts with the correct layout
displayed.
Notes
• The Go to Layout script step can only take you to layouts defined in the same file as the
script itself. To go to layouts in an external file, define a script in that file using the Go to
Layout script step, and call that script from the first file using the
Perform Script script step.
• Layout Name by calculation recognizes layouts with the same names in the order in which
they were created. If you have multiple layouts with the same name, either select the
specific layout you want from the layout list or use Layout Number by calculation.
• Define an unstored calculation field with the function Get(LayoutNumber) function and place
it on your layouts to verify the layout numbers of your layouts.
• When a file has two or more tables, FileMaker Pro appends the name of the source table to
the layout name for clarity. For example,
Go to Layout [“Layout #2” (TableB)].
Examples
Enter Browse Mode []
Go to Layout [“Contacts”]
New Record/Request
Go to Field [Table1::First Name]

Preview mode, moves to a page in a report.
Format

Options
Specify lets you choose from the following options.
• First moves to the first record in the file or found set, displays the first find request, or
moves to the first page in a report.
• Last moves to the last record in the file or found set, displays the last find request, or moves
to the last page in a report.
• Previous moves to the previous record in the file or found set, displays the previous find
request, or moves to the previous page in a report. Exit after last tells FileMaker
Pro to stop
the script when it reaches the last record in the found set. You can use Exit after last with
the Loop script step to exit out of a loop after the last record.
