Hello Forum,

this has probably become second nature to you all, but I was trying to find a document, where syntax rules for the Layouts are listed.

(e.g.: <<Name>> is replaced with the content of the "Name" field)

I don't even know how that is called in filemaker. Layout Markup?

Can it do some rudimentary logical evaluation? (use "company" if "name" is empty)

thanks for helping out!

the term is merge field

Insert > Merge Field... option-command-M

pick your field and it will place it on the layout - you can just type the value directly using the text tool -

also if you wish you can reference repetitions as well if the field is setup to have repeating values <<field[1]>>

Merge Fields have no logical expression evaluation - if you want to make text dynamic based on multiple fields then you will need to create a

calculation and place that field or it's merged variant to the layout.

hope this helps

BTW Welcome to the forums!

Thank you very much, Sir!
