Using Grid View
In Bento, you can work with your media fields (pictures,
music, and movies) and forms in an easy-to-use grid layout.
This chapter describes how to work with a library’s media fields and form thumbnails
in grid view, look at a record in grid view and a form view at the same time, filter grid
view items, set and change labels of grid view items, change the display size of grid
view items, and work with library folders in grid view.
About Grid View
In grid view, the media fields in each record of a library or collection are displayed as
thumbnails in rows. Each thumbnail is a grid view item. If a library or collection does
not contain any media fields, Bento displays thumbnails of the forms.
Move the cursor back and forth over a grid view item to flash in succession all the
media fields within the grid view item.
To go to grid view, choose View > Grid View or click .
