Expanding Portals

[paul]

Hello

I am trying to create an expanding portal.

Some records may have 20 records in the portal, some 5 and some 1 but I want buttons below the portal to move up and down as the portal expands.

Is this possible ?

Many Thanks

Paul

All portals are of a fixed size, regardless of the actual number of records displayed.

I would recommend deciding upon a standard size (i.e. 10 rows) and use that in your normal layouts. Then if you have cases where you want to see larger portals, make additional layouts where the portal has been expanded to say 20 rows. The user can click a button to access these expanded portal views.

You could create multiple layouts in your database, each with a different sized portal, and change to the appropriate layout based on the number (count) of related records there are at the time...
