Sub-script
A script that is called from another script.
Subsummary parts
Use summary parts to view and display information from one or more records. You place a
summary field in a summary part to display a summary of information for each group of records
sorted on the break field. You can add one or more subsummaries above (leading) or below
(trailing) the body.
Subsummary value
Aggregate values for different categories of data within a field. For example, a subsummary
value can be the total of employees for each department.
Summary field
A field that contains the result of a summary calculation of values across a group of records.
Supplemental field
A FileMaker calculation field or summary field that you can append to ODBC tables in order to
do calculations on the external data while working in FileMaker. The calculations are not stored
and you are not changing the schema of the ODBC table.
System formats
Settings you control with control panels to determine how dates, times, currency, and numbers
display and sort on your computer. (See the documentation that came with your computer for
information on using these control panels.)
If the system formats are different on your computer from the ones on the computer where the
database file was created, the first time you open the file, FileMaker
Pro will ask you if you want
to use the system’s settings or the file’s settings. Using the Inspector, you can also format
number fields to display decimals and thousands separators according to the current system
formats.

Tab control

custom tab order and include buttons, tab controls, and web viewers in the tab order.
