Finding Records

Electronic Forms User Guide

 

 

Using Find Mode

In ‘Find Mode’ you make ‘Find’ requests to locate records based on selected criteria. The located records become the ‘Found Set’ for browsing, sorting, previewing, and printing. FileMaker Pro switches to Browse after completing a find request.

Use ‘Find Mode’ to work with find requests, blank records into which you type or paste search criteria. FileMaker Pro maintains a field-by-field index of the values in a file. When you run a find request, FileMaker Pro looks through the index to find entries that match the search criteria.

Records that match the criteria are called the ‘Found Set’. Once you have created a ‘Found Set’, those are the only records available for browsing, sorting, previewing, and printing.

Find

To switch to ‘Find’, use the ‘Find’ button located on the List View Layout, select

Find ‘Find’ with the mode selector at the bottom of your screen or choose ‘Find’ from the Select menu. The keyboard shortcut is ‘Ctrl+F’.
