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. Choose an option from the pop-up menu for the type of page you
want to work with.
