Why it’s Important<br />

<strong>FileMaker</strong> <strong>10</strong> is the first version with Dynamic Reports. You no longer need <strong>to</strong> switch<br />

<strong>to</strong> Find Mode <strong>to</strong> locate the records for the data you want <strong>to</strong> change and then re-run<br />

the report. Instead, you can make changes right from Browse mode and see them<br />

take effect instantly. This is a big time-saver and makes <strong>FileMaker</strong> easier <strong>to</strong> learn.<br />

• Change the State for one of your contacts and then click outside of the field.<br />

You’ll see the record au<strong>to</strong>matically move <strong>to</strong> the appropriate place in the report.<br />

• Change the State back <strong>to</strong> the original name and see it move again.<br />

• Try the same thing with Company names.<br />

You’ve now completed Exercise 3 <strong>to</strong> create a Dynamic Report with subgroups. Instead of<br />

going <strong>to</strong> Find mode <strong>to</strong> change a record, you can make changes on the fly and see them take<br />

effect immediately.<br />
