After a portal is created, how do you add new fields?

I always have to delete the portal and start over.

Thanks.

1. On the menu bar, Insert / Field.

2. Drag it from the status bar.

Then specify the table::field as you normally would when adding a field to a layout.

And finally, drag it inside the borders of the first row of the portal. As long as the Top, left corner is inside the portal, the field will be included in the portal.

In the portal...Copy a field and then immediatly paste it. Then double click the new field and change it to what you want it to be from the field control/set up dialog that will appear. Move it to where you want, resize the portal accordingly to make sure all of your fields are with the portal....You're done. Simple and quick.

Just remember if you have any conditional formatting applied to the copied field it will carry over to the new field. So if you don't want the formatting make sure to delete it.
