Committing data in records
Unlike most word processing applications, FileMaker Pro saves your data as you work. This is called committing data. Data is committed when you:
select another record
click anywhere outside of the current field
Windows: press Enter on the numeric keypad, or Ctrl+Enter on computers without a numeric keypad
Mac OS: press Enter (not Return)
Switch to another mode
Notes
If you enter data incorrectly in a record, you can restore the original data to the record as long as the information is not committed. For more information, see Restoring data in records.
When you change related data (such as related records displayed in a portal), these changes are not committed until you commit the record that is displaying the related data.
