Working with Records
Work with data in a field
- Tap a field to make changes. FileMaker Go saves your changes when you:
- tap Done in the editing toolbar above the keyboard
- tap anywhere outside the current field
- switch to Find mode
- switch to another record, view, or layout
- If you enter data incorrectly in a record, you can restore the original data as long as the information is not committed. To restore original data, tap in the editing toolbar above the keyboard, then tap Revert Record .
- To clear a value from a radio button, touch and hold the field. Then tap Delete.
- If a field is configured as a concealed edit box, the data is displayed as dots. See FileMaker Pro Help.
Any changes you make are also made in the host file (unless you're working with a file you've transferred to your device).
