View your layouts as forms, lists, and tables
You can view your layouts in three different ways: as a form, as a list,
and as a table.
1 Form View displays your current layout one record at a time.
1 List View shows your current layout as a list, with one record
appearing beneath another.
1 Table View shows you many records at one time in a grid.
Generally, layouts can be toggled between form view, list view, and
table view while the database is in Browse mode.
Switch between form view, list view, and table view in the same
layout to see how they are different.
1. In Sample02.fp5, switch to the List of Members layout. You see
many records, in the form of a list.
2. Choose View menu > View as Form.
You now see a single record, displayed in the same layout. Only the
viewing option has changed.
3. Choose View menu > View as Table.
The View as Table feature allows you to view many records at once
in a grid.
4. Choose View menu > View as List to return to the original view of
the List of Members layout.
The List of Members layout displays only four of the fields present on Layout #1
