Join Cris Ippolite for an in-depth discussion in this video Working with container inspector options in Layout mode, part of FileMaker Pro 12 Essential Training.
FileMaker Pro allows users to store files within container fields inside of database records.…But in FileMaker 12 some new options have been added for managing those files.…For example, now you have the ability to specify for each instance of a field on a layout whether…a container field is formatted to optimize for static content, for example just images,…or for interactive content, for example, movies, audio files, and even PDFs.…By default, a container field like the one we see here in this layout is optimized for images.…
And you can tell that because when you click on the Insert menu or right-click and see the…Insert menu, you only have options for Picture, QuickTime, Sound and File. Those are the options…available to you when a field is optimized for images. When it's optimized for interactive…content, you'll see other options available. So how do we manage these things?…Well, first you need to go into Layout mode. Although we haven't covered Layout mode yet, there's…just a couple of different tools I want to show you, and the rest we'll talk about in…
