Open an item from within a portal

[Matt Leach]

I'm relatively new to filemaker and have gone through a few books and the FileMaker training series but have been unable to find a way to do what i need to do.

I setup a test database to try this before i created the actual database. The database will have 2 tables, one for clients and onefor claimants.

On the client layout, i have a portal with a relationship to the claimant level which shows any claimants that are attached to that client.

My question - Is there a way to open a particular claimant from the portal?

The software we currently use is called TeleMagic. We have the database laid out in the same fasion. So if i were to open lets say client # one, there would be a list of all the claimants associated with client #1. If i double click on one of the claimants in the list, it would open the claimaint.

Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

Try using a Go to Related Record step.

Would this be a script that would need to be created?

or just the script step. You can assign your button to perform a script or just a particular script step.

Thanks for all the replies, i was able to get it to function properly.
