FileMaker Pro 4.1 Mac User's Guide

Laying out and arranging information 3-25
Each layout must have at least one part. Choose from eight different
layout parts, as described in the following table.
Layout part Description
Header Use for column headings, titles, graphics, and other information that will
appear only at the top of every page. For example, include a header for a
directory. FileMaker Pro displays the header in Browse mode and prints it
on every page, except the first page if you add a title header. Fields added
to a header are printed on every page, using data from the first record on
that page. You can delete the header from any layout.
Body Put everything you want to appear in each record, including fields, text,
lines, and graphics, in the body. The contents of the body are printed for
each record in the current found set. When you print records,
FileMaker Pro prints the body for as many records as can fit on the page
with the other parts. You can change the size of the body to change the
amount of space used for each record. The body is the only part used with
FileMaker Pro Web Companion Instant Web Publishing.
Subsummary Prints a summary of information for each group of records sorted on the
break field. You can add one or more subsummaries above or below the
body. See “About summary layout parts” on page 3-29.
Leading grand
summary
Trailing grand
summary
Use to summarize all records being browsed above the data in individual
records. You can use only one leading grand summary. See “About
summary layout parts” on page 3-29.
Use to summarize all records being browsed below the data in individual
records. You can use only one trailing grand summary. See “About
summary layout parts” on page 3-29.
Footer Use for page numbers, dates, graphics, or any other information you want
to appear only at the bottom of every page. FileMaker Pro displays the
footer in Browse mode and prints it on every page, except the first page if
you add a title footer. Fields added to a footer are printed on every page,
using data from the last record on that page. You can delete the footer from
any layout.
Title header Use for printed reports. The title header replaces the regular header on the
first page only. For example, put a report title in the title header. Use the
regular header on the other pages of the report for information like a
chapter name.
Title footer Use for printed reports. The title footer replaces the regular footer on the
first page only. For example, put the author and date in the title footer. Use
the regular footer on the other pages of the report for information like page
numbers.
Every predefined layout type includes the body part. Most layouts,
including the Standard layout, also have a header part and footer part. A
layout can have only one header, body, and footer.
