Database 8-27
Working with layouts
When you work with a database in Browse mode, you see the fields arranged
in a layout, an arrangement of fields, field labels, and other objects that
determine the way data looks when it’s displayed and printed.
AppleWorks automatically creates the standard layout you see in Browse
mode when you create a database. You can change the layout and create
additional layouts for the same data, each one for a different purpose.
Understanding layouts
You create and work with layouts in Layout mode. You can use all the
drawing tools and commands available in AppleWorks to design your
layouts. You don’t enter or edit data in Layout mode, so creating or changing
a layout has no effect on the data in the database.
