Chapter 9. Defining Fields > Setting Field Entry Options
Setting Field Entry Options
FileMaker’s Options dialog box offers several powerful tools for speeding data entry and ensuring it meets certain standards. If more than one person will be entering data into the database, these options can reduce keyboard mistakes and problem-generating format variations. The options can be set while you’re defining fields—or added later.
FileMaker lets you customize your field entries for three general areas: Auto-Enter, Validation, and Storage. See page 100 (Auto-Enter), page 102 (Validation), and page 104 (Storage options). (Furigana is a Japanese-only option.)
