Click the Switch to List View icon to switch to the list view of the form. In this view, fields are displayed in columns in one grid on the form rather than on separate tabs. Table name records are displayed in each row in the grid. This makes it easy to compare and update multiple records at one time because you do not have to open individual records. You can add, remove, or change the order of the columns in the grid by clicking
to the right of the grid. This opens the List View Settings dialog box.
Click to filter the grid contents based on column values. For information about how the filter works, see Filter the Grid Results. For information about selecting columns, see Select Columns for a Grid. For more information and instructions on how to use list view, see Use the List View. |
