Setting up Instant Web Publishing
In a browser, users can see different pages, or views, of your database:
1 a Table View, for working with several records at a time
1 a Form View, for working with one record at a time
1 a search page, for finding information
1 a sort page, for sorting information (if enabled)
Setting options for Web display
You can choose which fields display in Table View, Form View, and the
Search page. You can also set options for the Sort page.
Users see only the pages and features that you have given them access to.
For example, if sorting is disabled, Web users do not see the Sort page. By
default, all fields are shown in each view, and sorting is disabled.
To set options for each type of Web page:
1. Choose Preferences from the Edit menu, and then choose
Web Companion.
2. Click a tab for the type of page you want to work with.
3. From the Layout drop-down list, select the layout that contains the
fields you want displayed for Table View, Form View, and Search.
(For information on the Sort view, see below.)
A list of that layout’s fields appears below the drop-down list.
