Creating Numbered Portal Rows

rlinsurf
in Portals

Featured Replies

I'm trying to have each row showing in a portal have a number, but I can't figure out how to do it. My Key Field is called Name. If I create a summary (count of Name field) [Running], it does not just count all the records for that particular name, but *all* found records. And when I add to the records by creating new records within the portal, it doesn't update properly in any case.

Is there a way to do this so that say, each of the rows for Joe Bar's records show 1., 2., 3., 4., etc. and each of the rows for Nancy Foo's records show 1., 2., 3., etc. ?

All My Best,

Jeffrey

Place the text "@@" (without the quotation marks) in the portal row where you want the row number to appear

Hi Jeffrey,

I tried using a calculated field with following definition.....

Status(CurrentPortalRow)

....with the 'Do not store calculation result' option set to off.

This sort of works, but does not update properly when a portal row is deleted.

I do use numbered portal rows in a quotation system I made, but that's all handled via scripts that set the numbers. Cumbersome to program, but it works OK.

Regards,

Ernst.

@@ from the Menu "Insert Record Number".

If you want some kind of "re"-numbering portal row, check Dj's sampler in the Sample section called "Renumbering and Moving around Portal Rows".
