Saved Layout Data
While it may seem like a little overkill, it really is possible to save all of the active tabs in FileMaker for each record for each layout for each user. Wow, that's a lot of 'each'es'.
In this video you'll learn how to capitalize on the technique recently shown which reveals how to trigger a script based on record changes. By using the default option of an If() statement, you can save all of the current Layout Data - including all of the active tabs.
The only thing not covered in this video is how to take this technique one step further and storing the viewed state for each layout for each record for each user for each session. How's that for one more 'each'. Enjoy the video and making your tabs stick on a layout by layout and record by record basis!
