I have a notes section on a personnel management file. This notes table will allow me to write some quick things about a conversation i have with different people when i have it so i can remember what i last talked about with them. I currently am using a portal that displays all the notes I have on each contact sorted by date in descending order. I want to set something up so that when I am on a contact only the dates are displayed for each note that had been entered for that person and when i click on the date that specific note shows up in an area right next to the date. So in other words if I have a list of dates and I click on a date the note entered on that date for that person shows up. If i click on another date, that previous note that was displaying disappears and the note that corresponds to that new date that I just selected appears in its place. I just don't know how to do this. I think I need to use a portal within a portal but im not sure how to do that if that is even the way to accomplish that.

Thanks For the help!!

This is an example of the technique you describe.

Your portal is the same. However, clicking on a row will set a global field to its ID. Then a new relationship from the parent to the Notes by the global field will display the note.

THANK YOU!!! VERY HELPFUL!!!!
