Reordering layout parts

You can change the order of only the body and subsummary parts; other parts, like the header and footer, must appear in a specific order, so they can't be moved. For example, move a subsummary part above the body to see subtotals first.

To reorder layout parts:

1.	In Layout mode, choose Layouts menu > Part Setup.

2.	In the Part Setup dialog box, drag the name of the part to the new location.

A part that can't be moved has a lock icon to the left of its name.

3.	Click Done.

FileMaker Pro moves all the fields and objects in the part and maintains its proportions.

Notes

While working in Layout mode, you can quickly reorder a part directly on the layout by selecting the selection tool

from the tool panel and Shift-dragging the part label (or the dotted line that marks the bottom of the part).

You can't move a subsummary part to the same location as another subsummary part that uses the same break field.
