Report
A Report layout lets you set up a report with grouped data and optional totals and subtotals. For example,
you can group sales data by region, then subtotal—or subsummarize—sales for each region, and add a grand
total. As with a List view layout, you can add header or footer parts and save information in a script.
For more information about Report layouts, see Help.
Blank layout
Use a Blank layout as the starting point for a layout that you create entirely from scratch, for example, a
complex data entry screen. You add the fields and other objects you want on the layout in Layout mode.
For more information about creating layouts and reports, see Help.
Labels
Use a Labels layout to arrange fields you select to print on one of the predefined standard label sizes.
(FileMaker
Pro includes the dimensions of a large number of standard label types.) If the label type you want
isn’t available, you can specify custom label dimensions.
With the Vertical Labels layout, Asian and full-width characters are rotated so that labels can be used vertically.
For information about vertical writing, see
“Formatting fields and text for vertical writing” on page 89.
For more information about creating a Labels layout and printing labels, see “Printing labels and envelopes”
on page 45.
Vertical labels
A Vertical labels layout is like the Labels layout, except that Asian and full-width characters are rotated so
that labels may be used vertically. For more information on vertical writing format, see
“Formatting fields
and text for vertical writing” on page 89.
