Working with records
After you add data to records, you can work with them in various ways,
as described in the following sections.
Browsing records
View records individually or as a list. When you’re browsing individual
records, the current record is the one you’re viewing. When you’re
browsing records in a list, you see as many records as fit on one screen. In
a list, the current record is marked with a solid bar along the left side.
1 To browse individual records, choose Browse from the Mode menu.
(Be sure View as Form in the Select menu is chosen.)
1 To browse records in a list, choose Browse from the Mode menu, and
then choose View as List from the Select menu. To work with a particular
record, click anywhere in the record to make it the current record.
Note You can also prepare a Columnar report layout to show records in
a list. See “Using Columnar report and Extended columnar layouts” on
page 3-9.
