Creating and managing layouts and reportsFileMaker Pro layouts determine how information is organized for viewing, printing, reporting, finding, and entering data. Layouts don’t store your data—they just display it.When you create a database file (without using one of the Starter Solution files shipped with FileMaker Pro), FileMaker Pro automatically creates a layout for the initial table in the file, and for each newly added table that contains fields.You create layouts and reports by using the New Layout/Report assistant, which guides you through creating the layout or report according to options you choose, such as the type of device the layout will display on, the default view for the layout, the layout fields, and the way data is grouped and sorted.
