Portal

Classic Servoy
1

Hi,
I have two form: A & B. In A I have a portal where I see the fields of B.
I want to write in a new line of the portal (therefore new record in form B), how I have to do!! I know enough well FileMaker and I’m learning Servoy. Can you help me? Excuse me for my bad english.
thanks
Giovanni

Try a tabpanel instead of a portal. It’s easier to work with, more flexible.

  1. Make your main form (‘A’)
  2. Make your line item form (‘B’)
  3. Establish a relationship between the tables of A & B
  4. On A, place a tabpanel, using that relationship and the B form
  5. You may want to hide the tab (TabPanel Property: tabOrientation = HIDE)

Have fun with Servoy!

True.

Anyway, if you want to use a portal, simply write a method that creates a new related record and attach it to a button.

Pseudo-code

nameofrelation.newRecord()
