Portal in header

[Rudi]

I need to put a portal in the header portion of a lay-out (viewed as list). It works well, but although it has a scroll bar, you can't make it scroll. I also wanted to put a button to each line in the portal, but that also doesn't work..

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Portals belong in the body. Now you know some of the reasons why this is the case. How would the releated records know what parent record they belong to if the portal is in the header?

The relationship is based on global field. So it has no direct connection to the records in the list.

I don't really understand if the portal works just perfect, why I can't scroll it.

Thanks for the response!

Stuff doesn't work properly in headers. The header only takes it's value from the first record on the page.

If you want something appearing above the body, use a Leading Grand Summary part.

Thank for the reply. Changing the header to a Leading Grand Summary part doens't make the portal scrollable though...

Portals work fully and properly when they are in the body of the record.
