• If Include column headers is selected, users can right-click the column heading in Browse mode and choose the appropriate command to define fields, hide or delete fields, create a dynamic report, or reset the Table View. See Working with data in Table View.
• If Include column headers is selected, users can resize columns by right-clicking the column header and choosing Table View > Set Column Width. This shortcut menu command is available even if Resizable columns is cleared in the Table View Properties dialog box.
• FileMaker Pro uses the tab order to determine the default order of the columns in Table View. You can reorder the columns if Reorderable columns is selected in the Table View Properties dialog box. For information on reordering columns, see Viewing records as a form, list, or table.
• For new layouts that do not use the Classic theme, by default, the current (or active) record in List View is displayed with a different fill from the other records. To indicate the current record with a solid vertical bar along the left side of the record, select Show current record indicator in List View in the General tab of the Layout Setup dialog box. To have the current record appear without a different fill, see Changing a layout part.
