Display multi-line records

in FileMaker WebDirect

Featured Replies

Hi all

One of our database's features is a chat log. As you would have in any chat app, or an email thread, this allows you to see a stream of messages, many will have muliple lines. As I understand it, FileMaker can only show (fully) a list of multi-line records in list mode, when in preview mode, by utilising the 'shrink' option in the body part. Therefore we've got around this by using the list function in webviewer.

Now we are using WebDirect and the webviewer is not functioning. I understand this can be resolved (https://www.soliantconsulting.com/blog/display-complex-web-viewers-in-webdirect/)

However, I'm just wondering if there's another/better way to display multiline records in WebDirect, or indeed FileMaker client (in browse mode).

Thanks!
