List like images
Hi,
I have an inherited database from another developer. That being said the user adds in the search form for instance moccassin and it will go to a form that will show the first record. I would like it to also show the next 3 three records of moccassin that they click on. Can someone help on this ; )
Thanks
A Filemaker database can have many views (layouts)
A form layout for data entry.
A list layout for selecting and sorting records.
A form layout for printing.
A form layout for single record display.
A list view with a larger record list area for viewing more detailed informaiton on each found record.
This is what you are looking for, I believe.
Duplicating the example form layout would be easiest.
Remove unneeded elements and turn it into a list layout.
With a relationship and possibly a filtered portal, the horizontal row of three related images are quite possible to produce here.
You can set up 3 instances of the same portal, for example, and the first portal is a one row portal showing the first row, the second portal is one row showing the second row....
You'd need a relationship--possibly with a portal filter to control which records with these images appear in these one row portals.
This, BTW, is called a "horizontal portal" in FileMaker jargon...
