Navigation script steps
Navigation script steps move to different areas of a database. Use Navigation script steps
to:
• go to a specific record or find request
• switch to a specific layout
• move among fields on a layout
• emulate pressing Enter or Tab
• switch to Browse mode to work with contents of a file
• switch to Find mode to fill out find requests
• switch to Preview mode to see how records, forms, or reports will look when they're
printed
Go to Layout
Format
Go to Layout [“<layout name or layout number>”]
Options
Specify lets you choose the target layout. For Specify, you can:
• choose the original layout. The original layout is the active layout when the script is
initiated.
• choose a specific layout by name from the list of layouts you’ve defined in your file.
• choose Layout Name by calculation, and use the Specify Calculation dialog box to
create a formula whose result is a valid layout name.
• choose Layout Number by calculation, and use the Specify Calculation dialog box
to create a formula whose result is a valid layout number. (Layout numbers
correspond to the order of the layouts in the file.)
Web compatibility
This script step is web-compatible.
Description
Switches to the specified layout. Go to Layout is useful when you begin a script to make
sure the user starts with the correct layout displayed.
