10-32 FileMaker Pro User’s Guide
Creating related records
You can add records to the related file as you enter data in a record in
the master file.
To add related records from the master file, the Allow creation of related
records option must be selected for the relationship. (See “Defining
relationships for a relational database” on page 10-21.) When this option
is selected, typing in a related field that has no corresponding related
record creates a related record based on the match field in the master file.
Preview and print
related records
1 FileMaker Pro prints related records and portals you see in
Preview mode. (See chapter 6, “Previewing and printing
information.”)
1 To prevent related fields and portals from printing, see “Keeping
objects from printing” on page 6-9.
1 When you print a portal that displays a scroll bar, FileMaker Pro
prints only the records displayed in the portal when the portal
isn’t scrolled.
Work with records in
shared files
FileMaker Pro limits access to some commands and records to
keep users from interfering with each other. (See “Working with
shared files” on page 7-5.)
1 When you make changes to a master record, FileMaker Pro
prevents other users from changing the same record.
1 When you make changes to a related field, FileMaker Pro
prevents other users from changing the associated related record
and master record.
1 Other users can access the record after you select a field in a
different record, select a different record in the same file, or
leave the master record.
Choose FileMaker Help Index from the Help menu, and then type:
E related records
