Is there a way to search all fields in FileMaker?
The FileMaker Quick Find feature lets you search across all of the fields that have Quick Find enabled within the current layout of your FileMaker solution. However, some types of fields may be excluded from this type of search or some developers may have chosen to disable Quick Find in some fields.
Why do I need a checkbox in FileMaker Pro?
Formatting a field with a checkbox allows users to enter more than one value for a field. If more than one value is entered for a field, on other layouts where the field is not formatted as a checkbox (such as a columnar report), FileMaker Pro displays only the first value. To see all values, make the field larger or click into the field.
