See a different layout
To see some layouts in action, use the Sample02.fp7 sample file you
just opened.
1. Click the Layout pop-up menu, located above the book icon. A list
appears showing the layouts available in this file.
2. Notice the check mark next to the Data Entry layout, your current
layout. The Data Entry layout shows all of the fields in the
Sample02.fp7 table.
3. Choose the List of Members layout from the Layout pop-up menu.
This layout shows each record as one row in a columnar list. Notice
that the List of Members layout contains only four of the fields that
were present in the Data Entry layout. Because fewer fields are
present on this layout, some data is simply not displayed, however,
no data has been removed from the database.
