creating initial portal records on the web

[hassam36]

Hi

I have a question concerning creating the initial record in a portal accessed through the web: is there a way to do this without adding some kind of 'create record' button on the layout?

I'm asking because unlike accessing a portal using the Filemaker client software where there is a way to just type in the open record displayed, nothing shows up for portals without records on the web.
