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.

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.
