Is there a way other than list view?

[jvoldal]

I have a solution that contains information about our employees that I use all the time. Is there a way other than a list layout where I can have photos of employees in a grid layout (as opposed to a list) and be able to click on them to go to their related record? I already have a container field with the photos.

Thanks,

Table View. You can change the column width to show more of the container field.

You can use a relationship and the GTRR script step to do this.

Take a look at FileMaker's template "Photo Catalog" (I think). It uses a rather clever method to produce a "contact sheet." It goes into Preview mode, on a multi-column print layout, copies, then pastes into a page-size global container field. Cheap and fairly quick.

They show this on a layout with invisible square buttons over the picture and text "area." The problem is that this file would benefit greatly from such things as Script parameters; which would do the job with 1 script, instead of the 16 they have.

Their Sort scripts are the same, 3 for each set, when it could be done with 1. In other words, they converted the file from 6, they didn't do squat to optimize it for 7. Lame. So borrow their technique, but fix their silly scripts -]

[i don't know if they've updated the templates lately. Maybe.]

(P.S. You may also notice that they used a complex method to produce the text below the picture. You can just go into Layout mode, delete their text and put your own regular fields.)
