Browse mode

Browse mode is the view where you'll spend most of your time if you're working with existing databases (Figure 3.4). Whenever you open a FileMaker database, it first appears in Browse mode. In Browse, you can view, sort, add, omit, and delete records. For more on using Browse mode, see Viewing Records on page 41 and Finding and Sorting Records on page 49.

Figure 3.4. The status area for Browse mode appears to the left of the current recordthough you can hide it if you want more screen space for the record.
