How to Create a Report With FileMaker Pro
When using Filemaker Pro to find or modify sets of information, you can view the database's contents in several different ways. If you want to customize your view of a Filemaker database, you can create a new report and specify exactly which information you want to see. A Filemaker report generally looks like a spreadsheet table, with field names spread out across the top of the window and related records of data listed underneath them.
