Header part
Use a header part for column headings, titles, and other information that appears only at the top
of every page on a layout. FileMaker
Pro displays the header in Browse mode and prints it on
every page, except the first page if you add a title header. Fields added to a header are printed
on every page, using data from the first record on that page.
Homepage
The starting page for a website. It often has some form of a table of contents that allows viewers
to link to other parts of the website.
Host
After a file has been opened and enabled for sharing, the host is either the first FileMaker Pro
user to share the file, or the host is FileMaker
Server. Once the host opens the file, other users
(clients) can access and change the file. All changes are stored in the file on the computer or
device where the file resides. FileMaker Network settings and privileges determine how
FileMaker
Pro and FileMaker Go clients interact with files hosted through FileMaker Pro or
FileMaker
Server.
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)
A language that is used for displaying and accessing information on the World Wide Web.
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)
The Internet protocol that defines how a web server responds to requests for files.
I
Import
To bring (copy) data from a table, another file, or another application into the current table. You
can also import scripts from one FileMaker
Pro file into another.
Indexing
An option that can be enabled when defining (or changing) the definition of a field. When
indexing is enabled, FileMaker
Pro builds a list of all the values that occur in the field in the
table. This improves the performance of tasks such as finding data, but it increases the size of
the file on disk.
Inline scroll bar
A scroll bar that appears only while scrolling is occurring.
Inspector
In Layout mode, a tool that allows you to view and edit the settings for objects, layout parts, and
the layout background. You can open multiple inspectors to view and format settings in different
tabs at the same time. To open the Inspector, choose View menu
> Inspector. To open another
Inspector window, choose View menu
> New Inspector.
Interactive container
A container field for which the Interactive content option in the Inspector is selected.
Interactive containers are rendered using the web browser technologies that web viewer uses.
Internet
An international network of many other networks that are linked using the TCP/IP network
protocol.
Internet service provider (ISP)
The company from which you purchase your connection to the Internet.
