newbie help - real basic

[michaeljacob]

Hi everyone. I'm working on developing a volunteer tracking system for the local chapter of Habitat For Humanity. What I'm doing is building a database that will log volunteer hours, for the use in grants and recognition. i'm pretty good with filemaker, but have never used the portals. what i want to do is make the portal a time log of each visit, where they were, what they did, and for how long. i can get all that stuff working, but i can't get a new line to show up for the next entry! what am i doing wrong? do i have to set-up a script to do this, or is there a simple setting i'm missing?

an example of what i'm talking about is in the "time billing" template in FM. as soon as you fill in a line in the portal, it creates a new blank line for the next set of data.

any help would be great.

thanks.

-mike.

Hi Mike,

Yep, simple setting. Turn on the 'Allow Creation of Related Records' to that relationship. You'll find it in File > Define Relationships > Edit and it's a checkbox bottom right.
