FAQ: Editing Global Field Data

QUESTION: When creating an invoice and then clicking the "print current record" button, your name and address appear on the from line. I can change the address manually for each instance, but I can't figure out how to change the global so that it defaults to our address.

ANSWER: Most of the preference data is stored in global fields. Global fields are session specific when FileMaker is being hosted. So to edit globals, take the database off of the server, make the edits and then put the changed database up for hosting.
