Mode
FileMaker Pro has four different modes: Browse, Find, Layout, and Preview.
You select a mode based on the work you need to do.
- To enter data and view, add, change, omit, and delete records, use Browse .
- To work with a subset of records in your database that match the criteria you
set, use Find. For example, in a customer database, you might want to find the
customers who ordered a specific product or service.
- To design layouts that present your data for different tasks (such as invoice
reports or order processing), use Layout.
- To see how records will look when printed, use Preview. After previewing your
records, you can adjust the layout if needed.
You use a layout to organize information for display, data entry, and printing.
You can create several layouts for the same information because a layout is
completely separate from the information it contains. A layout determines how
you present information--not how you store it.
With a file locked means it it not accessible without the proper password. In
Layout mode it refers to text, or a graphic item that cannot be moved, editied, or
deleted. With records it means the records cannot be altered, or deleted.
