Working with Files Stored in File List Fields and Message List Fields
When browsing records, you can quickly open files or applications stored in file list fields, and Mac OS X Mail messages, notes, and RSS articles stored in message list fields.
To open files stored in a file list field or message list field:
1
Select a form in the navigation bar or choose View > Form View > Form Name.
2
Select one or more items in the file list field or message list field. Command-click to select nonadjacent items.
3
Click Icon for options for displaying files and choose Open (file list) or Open selected message icon (message list), or double-click the items you want to open.
4
The application associated with each item starts and displays the contents of the items.
For example, if you double-click a PDF file and a QuickTime movie file, the Mac OS X Preview and QuickTime Player applications start and display the PDF file and the QuickTime movie file. If you double-click an email message, note, or RSS article, the Mac OS X Mail application starts and displays the Mac OS X Mail item.
 
To view files stored in a file list field:
1
Click Table view icon to display the items in a table.
2
Click File list field grid format icon to switch back to the grid format.
Click Gear icon to change the display size of items in grid format.
 
To email a file from a file list field:
1
In the file list field, select one or more filenames that you want to email.
2
At the bottom-left of the file list field, click Icon for options for displaying files, then choose “Send in Mail.”
The Mac OS X Mail application opens.
3
Enter the recipients’ names, make any changes to the subject and message, then click Send.
