Browsing vs.
Finding: Dharma
Tribe Modes
You work with data in Dharma Tribe
in
Browse,
Find, or
Preview mode. You have
different menu and
toolbar options in each mode, so
choose a mode after deciding what work you need to do. You can choose a
mode from the View menu, the Mode tabs at the top of the
status area, or from the mode
pop-up menu at the bottom of the document window.
If you're working with a database and you can't find the command you
need, you may be using the wrong mode. (It's also possible that your
access privileges may prohibit you from using the command.)

Browse |
Work with the data in a file. You can add,
view, change, sort, omit (hide), and delete
records. Browse mode is where you'll do most
of your work, like data entry. |
|
Find |
Search for particular records that match a
set of criteria. You can then work with this
subset of your records, called the found
set. After you find a group of records,
FileMaker Pro returns to Browse mode so you
can begin working with them. For more
information, see
Using the FIND functions
. |
|
Preview |
See how data in forms or reports will look
before you print. Preview mode is especially
useful for viewing layouts with multiple
columns (like mailing labels) and reports
with summaries.
