Description 

Refresh Portal updates the join relationship and contents of a portal that displays related records. Use Refresh Portal when a global field used in the portal’s filter calculation has been modified. For example, Refresh Portal with the OnObjectExit script trigger will refresh a portal after users commit a change in a field used in the portal’s filter calculation.

Notes 

In FileMaker WebDirect, Refresh Portal performs the Refresh Window script step.

If the layout object specified for Object Name is not a portal, Refresh Portal performs the Refresh Object script step.

Example 1 

Sets the value of a global field used in a portal's filter calculation, then updates the portal.

Set Field [Customer::Filter; 16]
Refresh Portal [Object Name: "Customer Orders"]
