Printing portals

[Ben Ball]

I have a record that shows 30 portal rows.

If I have 50 records showing I obviously only can print the top 30 based upon the sort order.

How can I print the remaining 20 records? I have no idea.

Not really a good use of portals when there is an undetermined number of related records called, you may find it better to generate a list report and print that instead, then you can have hundreds of records showing.

If you must use the portal, then create a duplicate portal, go to Portal Set-up and make the 'First Row' = 31, this will display records 31 - 60 etc... the obvious question is what happens if you have 61 records or 1,061 records..and so on?

On your printing layout, make your portal with as many rows that you think it can possibly have. Lets say for example 100. Then you can set the sliding / printing to slide on the portal. When there are less records, it should slide up the empty portal records.

Excellent.. both work fine.
