This article gets into more details on the different types of views in Claris Studio. We introduced the overview, Claris Studio, Tell Me More! on 29 September 2022, and Claris Studio (part 2) – Integration with Claris Pro on 12 October 2022.

This is part three of a series on the new Claris platform. Continue reading “Claris Studio (part 4): Forms the easy way!” → Leave a comment Level: Intermediate, Version: FM 19.5 or later, Virtual List A Summary Field Bug and Workaround Let’s get started with a review of the Forms.

We can start with one of these views to create the “table” or we can start with existing data (from a Spreadsheet setup or migrated from Claris Pro). Remember that Dashboards are created from the Spreadsheet View only, so they do not appear on this graphic: Click on the Create New View button to see these options. But we have other Views: anonymous Form submission, a List-Detail View (suitable for searching, adding, editing), a Kanban View (just another way to present the data & edit it), and some new ones since the last article. That information may be helpful on all Views. I chose them to discuss first because the Spreadsheet has more information about the tables and fields. Welcome back! The Spreadsheet View and the Dashboard View are not the only features of Claris Studio. Some famous “trilogies” (films and books, especially) have gotten additional content, so why not? But if something really inspiring materializes, there may be followup article(s). This is the final article of the planned four. This article covers more Views, a little errata from past articles (Parts 1, 2, & 3), and where we go from here.
