84 Chapter 9 Using Fields
7 Click Add To Record.
Bento creates a new related data field in the library or collection you dragged
records to in step 4. (For example, a related data field named Projects is created in
the Vendors collection.)
8 In the library or collection that you dragged records to in step 4 (for example,
the Vendors collection), drag the new related data field from the Fields list
onto the form.
Navigating to Related Records
To navigate among related records:
1 Click a record.
2 Click to go to the record in its library or collection and view the record’s
details.
You can edit the record you have navigated to.
3 As you navigate among records in different related data fields, you can
quickly return to the previously viewed related record by clicking
in the
navigation bar.
However, once you select an item in the Libraries pane, Bento stops keeping track
of the related records you viewed and
disappears.
Using the Fields Pane
The Fields pane displays an alphabetical list of the fields that are available for the
selected library or collection. Use the Fields pane to select the fields that you want to
add to the current form (in form view) or to display as columns (in table view). In split
view, the Fields pane indicates the fields that can be added to the current form or can
be displayed in table view.
