ILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 302
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 that determine how your operating system displays and sorts dates, times, numbers,
and currency. (For information on setting and changing system formats, see Windows Help and
Support or OS X Help.)
If the system formats are different on your computer from those on the computer on which the
file was created, the first time you open the file, FileMaker
Pro asks if you want to use the
system’s settings or the file’s settings. When you format fields, you can use the Inspector to
have data displayed according to the current system formats.
T

objects within each tab panel's borders.

The order in which you move from field to field in a record. In Layout mode, you can define a
custom tab order and include buttons, tab controls, and web viewers in the tab order.
