ILEMAKER PRO SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 283
Layout bar
In the status toolbar, the area that displays options for working with layouts, such as the Layout
pop-up menu.
If you don't see the status toolbar, click the status toolbar control button at the bottom of the
document window.
Layout mode
The FileMaker mode in which you determine how information in fields is presented on the
screen and in printed reports.
(Use Browse mode to enter and edit your information; use Layout mode to design how your
information is displayed. Use Find mode to find records that match search criteria; use Preview
mode to display how your records will print.)
Layout part
A section of a layout that organizes or summarizes information. Layout parts include Body,
Header, Footer, Title Header, Title Footer, leading and trailing Grand Summary, and leading and
trailing Subsummary.
Layout pop-up menu
In the layout bar, a pop-up menu from which you can choose Manage Layouts (Layout mode)
or a defined layout (all modes).
If you don't see the status toolbar, click the status toolbar control button at the bottom of the
document window.
Layout theme
A collection of coordinated styles that determine the color, object, part, and background
attributes, and the fonts used on a layout. Themes also enhance the appearance of a layout or
report and give all your layouts a consistent look. A theme does not control the placement or
behavior of fields or objects on a layout. A theme is assigned when you create a new layout, but
you can change the theme in Layout mode. You can also create a theme by changing the styles
used for the layout, and then saving the theme with a new name.
Layout tools
In the status toolbar in Layout mode, a collection of tools that includes the Selection tool
(pointer), Text tool, Line tool, Rectangle tool, Rounded Rectangle tool, Oval tool, Field/Control
tool, Button tool, Popover Button tool, Tab Control tool, Slide Control tool, Portal tool, Chart tool,
Web Viewer tool, Field tool, Part tool, and Format Painter tool.
If you don't see the status toolbar, click the status toolbar control button at the bottom of the
document window.
