Newbies CGLA Posted June 14, 2012 Newbies Posted June 14, 2012 How can I create "subrecords' within a record? For example, I make a record for a company and amongst the various information I have for the company, I also want to list their various products, prices, etc and continue to add to it easily....so it looks like this. The only option I can find a portal but that isn't what I want. The other options is I need to make fields each time I add a new product but that isn't very efficient. So basically is there a subrecord option? Thanks! Name of company Product name Price Availability Misc 1. 2. 3. 4.

Then you can add any number of products for a company, and in each table show related data from the other one. In your FileMaker Online help, read the topic Home > Designing and creating databases > Working with related tables and files, as well as the “related” topics. btw, somehow you posted this message three times.
mr_vodka Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Your structure should be to have a related table or perhaps even a couple of related tables. P.S. I merged your triple posts.
