What is Master-Detail?
Master-detail often refers to a parent-child type of relationship between 2 tables. For example, an Invoice with multiple line items, or a Contact record with multiple phone numbers. Other platforms, such as Salesforce, have a special type of relationship between 2 tables called a Master-Detail relationship.
FileMaker 17 has a great new feature for creating “Master-Detail” layouts. With this feature, you can create a new type of portal this is a bit different than the regular portals we are all used to using. It’s super-slick, and super easy to create. In this article, I’ll explain what Master-Detail is, how to create a Master Detail layout, and how these new portals are different.
