Title
multiple portals on a layout
Post
I am probably missing something simple here. I have a printed form I am trying to replace with one that can be done in FMP.
To accomodate the printing and presentation of the data, I have six portals on a layout to record test data, 17 rows each. Each portal is related to a separate TO of the data table. Above each portal is a field for Serial Number of the device being tested.
The actual recorded data can vary from 2 measurements per sample to >100 per sample with anywhere from 1 to 5 samples. So it is possible for some jobs to have one Serial Number take more than 1 portal. The issue is, that if the same Serial Number is entered at the top of the portal, the data records from the previous portal show up. Is there a way to have the portal relationship tie to the TO that it is related to when the data record is created?
Nevermind ...
I just created 6 separate field that are auto entered A, B, C etc that each of the portals is also related through. This keeps the data entered in each portal from showing up in a different portal. I knew it would be something simple.
