12 FileMaker Pro Tutorial
View information in different ways
Even though you enter information only once in FileMaker Pro, you
can use that information in many ways. Layouts let you view some
or all of your fields.
Because it is not necessary to see all of your fields in each layout,
layouts are a powerful tool for working with or printing just the
information you need to accomplish a particular task.
See a different layout
To see some layouts in action, use the 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 table.
