I know this thread is a bit dated.. but I would like to take it a step further.

Could the technique from post 2 and 10 somehow be applied to create a function to limit/expand number of records shown in a portal?

I'm currently designing an iPhone client for a database with many thousand records. I'm looking for a possibility to only load 100 portal records at first, then allow the user to load more if desired. Apple is doing the same in their iOS Mail application for IMAP connections. At the bottom of the list there's a button which allows the user to "load more messages from server" (or similar). I think this could be very useful for mobile FM development in general.

After many hours I sort of gave up... the portal in question is based on a join-table.

See image attached. Any ideas and input most appreciated!!

​I suggest you start a new thread, as this has nothing to do with the original question or the answers given.

Based on comments input, I'm moving my question to a new thread:

Please continue discussion there. Thank you!

I'm not sure of the best way to do this, but I'd create two portals with different numbers of records on them and hide/show them using a global "show more threads" field.

Not sure if there's a new fangled FM14 way to do it, or even a less clunky FM13 way though!
