Adding a portal that is independent of the layout's TO

[Will B.]

I'm new to the group and FMPro so thank you for taking the time to be helpful.

I have a table of actions that our staff do day in/out. I'd like that table, which has no relationship to any other table, on a layout so we can scroll through it and then when we see the action we need, click on it and it'll insert itself into a large note field. Currently the portal doesn't show any records. I know this must be so "elementary my dear Watson".

Thanks,

W

You could create a cartesian join btw the table occurrence on which the parent layout is based and the portal's table occurrence. This will show all records in the portal's table occurrence.

However, inserting into a large note field certainly doesn't sound great. How about a table of actions performed with a date and who.

Perfectoisimo. Now I need to learn how to be able to click on one of the records in the portal and have it jump into the notes field then it'll be Miller time.

thanks,
