Weird portal printing

[ren]

Hi all,

Is there a way to print all info/data below a portal (such as terms and conditions) in a nice format?

So for example, if I have set the portal to cater 10 portal rows, it will only print the portal rows that has data in it and print everything below the portal straight after that last filled portal rows.

Currently, I have to print all portal rows including the ones that have empty data in it if I want to print data below a portal.

Any help will be appreciated!

Rgds,

Ren

Portals aren't for printing. Use the related table and print from there. Use a trailing grand summary for the other stuff you want to print.

Hi Ralph/everyone,

Could you please explain on how are you going to print multiple records from 1 table within a layout? How this related table thing works? Currently, the only way I know to print those records are by using portal.

Please help.... thank you!

Assuming you are working with a one file solution,

Create a layout based upon the table related in the portal with the information you wish to print.

Then creat a script that goes to that layout, enter find mode-no pause, set field[fieldID],get ( scriptparameter )--where fieldID is field that is used to create the relationship that shows the portal, perform find, print, goto previous layout.

Then on the layout that shows the portal that you wish to print, place a button that calls the new script with parameter[fieldID]--again the field used in the relationship.

The new layout should be the columnar/list report type. Use the same fields you have in the portal. Put the data from the original table in the header or in a leading grand summary using the relationship between the 2 tables.
