Selecting and working with portals
•
• In Layout mode, a portal object displays its characteristics in the lower left corner of the object: its table name, the range of rows that the portal will display, a plus sign (+) if vertical scrolling is enabled, Filter if filtering is enabled, and Sort if sorting is enabled.
• In most cases, you should enable Show vertical scroll bar in the Portal Setup dialog box. If you don't and there are more related records than will fit in the number of portal rows you've defined, you won't be able to see all the related records or enter new related records.

•
• You can’t place a tab control or a web viewer in a portal. If you place these objects in a portal, they appear as objects on the layout that overlap the portal.
• You can place a popover button in a portal as long as the associated popover does not contain a tab control, a slide control, a chart, a web viewer, or a portal.
• To number the rows in a portal, in Layout mode, click in the first portal row where you want numbers to display, then choose Insert menu > Record Number Symbol. Numbers appear in portal rows in Browse and Preview modes, and when you print the layout. See Inserting the date, page number, or other variable onto a layout.
