Description 
When no portal is active, the script uses the first portal in the layout stacking order.
This script step tries to keep the same related field selected when changing rows. If no field in a portal is selected, the script selects the first related field it can enter.
When a related field in a portal is selected, you can use this step to move to the same field in another portal row. For example, if the third field in the second portal row is selected, Go to Portal Row [Next] goes to the third field in the third portal row.
Examples 
The following selects the next row in its entirety and exits the script after the last row within the portal has been reached.
Go to Portal Row [Select; Next; Exit after last]
The following selects the fourth row within the portal in its entirety.
Go to Portal Row [Select; 4]
