IELD DATA
The Text List View displays all of the text field data for a collection or
portfolio. Some of this data is obtained automatically when you
make a data record for a file (see “Getting Information About the
Source File” on page 4-10); additional data can be entered in the Info
Sheet View for each record (see “Entering Data in an Individual
Record” on page 6-1).
To display the Text List View for a collection or portfolio, select Text
List from the View menu, or click the Text List View button in the
button panel.
Instead of thumbnail images and captions, the Text List View
displays record information in rows and columns — one row for
each record in the collection or portfolio, and one column for each
data field in the records. Aside from this, the Text List View contains
the same interface elements as the Thumbnails View:
• The title bar, which shows the name of the collection, followed by
the view (“Text List”) in parentheses
• The number of records in the collection, and how many are
selected
