Glossary 221

Formula

A set of instructions that FileMaker Pro follows to calculate a value used in a field or as

the criteria for matching database records.

Found set

The set of records in a table that are made active by a find request. When you find all

records, the found set is the entire table.

Full Access privilege set

One of the three pre-defined privilege sets that appear in every file. The Full Access

privilege set allows complete read/write access to a file, including making changes to

privileges for the file.

Fully qualified name

The complete name of a field or layout, expressed using the format tableName::[field or

layout name], where “tableName” is the name of the underlying table occurrence in the

relationships graph upon which the field or layout is based. A fully qualified name identifies

an exact instance of a field or layout. Because fields and layouts with common names can

be based on different tables, FileMaker Pro uses fully qualified names to avoid errors in

calculations and scripts.

Function

A predefined, named formula that performs a specific calculation and returns a single,

specific value.

Function list separator

The punctuation character (a semicolon) that separates parameters in a function

definition. If you type a comma, FileMaker Pro automatically changes it to a semicolon

after you close the Specify Calculation dialog box.

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)

A platform-independent file format often used to distribute graphics on the Internet.

Global field

A field defined with the global storage option can contain one value that's used for all

records in a file. Use the value of a global field as a fixed value in calculations, to declare

variables in If or Loop script steps, or for fields that rarely need to be updated (for example,

a company logo in a container field). A global field can be any field type except summary.

A global field can’t be indexed.

Grand summary

Total or other aggregate value for all records in the found set.
