Displaying records one at a time

With this viewing mode, users see only one record at a time, opened in the data view. Additionally, you can list values from a selected field in the View menu. For example, if your custom tool contains employee names, you might list employee names in the View menu to make it easy for users to select an employee by name.

  1. Open the Designer.
  2. Click Settings and Options.
  3. Click One at a time under Display Record Options.
  4. If you want to change the options to be listed in the View menu to a field value, click the drop-down list and select a field.
  5. Save your changes.
