Using Standard, Single-page form, and Blank layouts
Standard, Single-page form, and Blank layouts are good for browsing
and data entry. You can view or add records one by one, with or without
headers and footers. With a Blank layout, you build a custom browse or
entry screen.
The Standard layout is a good choice for use with FileMaker Pro Web
Companion Instant Web Publishing. Text styles and graphics do not
display when you publish a database using Instant Web Publishing, so a
basic layout – such as Standard, Single-page form, with headers and
footers deleted if you like – is all that is necessary. For more information
see chapter 11, “Publishing files on the Web.”
A Standard layout contains all the database fields in the body of the
layout, in the viewing order set in the Define Fields dialog box. You see
the field names as field labels to the left of the fields, and a blank header
and footer. A Single-page form layout looks like a Standard layout, but
it doesn’t have a header and a footer, and it’s vertically the size of one
page (although you can resize it if you like). A Blank layout contains a
blank header, body, and footer. You add the fields for a Blank layout.
