Customizing layouts 7-23
You can slide fields, portals, other objects, and even layout parts.
When objects slide:
1 Fields shrink to eliminate empty space within field boundaries, but
sliding does not remove empty space you leave between fields. For
example, if you create a body part with one inch of space below the
lowest object, and set all the objects to slide and the part to shrink,
FileMaker Pro leaves one inch below the lowest object when you
print.
1 Non-field objects, like a line or text, move if you place a sliding
field to the left of (or above) the objects.
1 Objects—including fields—slide left (or up) corresponding to the
amount of space that the fields to the left of (or above) the objects
shrink.
1 Portals slide like any other object, but objects within a portal can't
slide. If you specify that a portal slides up and the enclosing part
shrink, FileMaker Pro omits empty portal rows.
You can set layout parts to shrink when the fields in them slide up.
Headers, footers, title headers, and title footers never shrink or slide
up. Don’t set a part to shrink on a layout that requires fixed vertical
spacing, like labels.
The following layout shows how fields are set to slide for the
previous illustration.
Keep these points in mind:
1 You see the effects of setting sliding options only in Preview
mode.
1 You can slide any object. Non-field objects, like the horizontal line
in the previous example, can slide if you place a sliding field above
or to the left of the objects. When a non-field object slides, it moves
to another place on the layout but doesn’t shrink. When a field slides,
it moves to another place on the layout and shrinks if the data doesn’t
fill the field boundaries.
1 In Layout mode, choose View menu > Show > Sliding Objects to see
which objects slide and in which directions.
