Previewing Files with Quick Look
With Quick Look, you can quickly view the contents of an item in a file list field or
message list field without opening it.
To preview a file:
1 Select a form in the navigation bar or choose View > Form View > Form Name.
2 Select one or more items in a file list field or message list field.
3 Click and choose Quick Look filename or press the Space bar.
The content you see depends on the type of file. If it’s an image, you see a smaller
version of it. If it’s a text document, you can read the text and scroll to see more. If
you selected multiple items, you can use the arrow keys or the buttons at the
bottom of the Quick Look window to move from one item to another.
Working with Simple List Fields
You work with columns and rows in simple list fields in much the same way as you do
in table view. This section tells you how to do some things with simple list fields. For
more information about working with columns, see
”Working with Fields and Columns
in Table View” on page 63.
To add information to a simple list, first you need to create a field of the type Simple
List. See
”Creating Fields” on page 76.
