Join Cris Ippolite for an in-depth discussion in this video Objects pane and group object selection, part of FileMaker: Tips, Tricks, and Techniques.
- [Instructor] The presentation of data…in your FileMaker app is limited only by your imagination.…Creative uses of objects allow for your layouts…to have the look and feel that you choose.…However, some of these techniques like layering or grouping…can complicate your layouts…and make interacting with objects challenging.…For example, if we take a look at the exercise file,…we see that it does a really good job…of using hidden objects,…something that we covered earlier in this course.…But as a result, we're also layering various objects…on top of each other.…This can make it very difficult…a for example, I want to interact with the…chart that's behind the portal.…
So one of my favorite tools…that was just recently introduced is the object pane.…So you see over here on the left-hand side,…if you don't have your object pane,…then you just have to click the show hide,…and then click on the object section.…What this is is a list of every single object…that's on your layout.…Specifically, there are objects in a Z order.…
