FileMaker Multi-Column Portal Challenge

December 5, 2018Filed under:
  • Design
  • FileMaker

Will M. Baker of Beezwax tackled an unusual challenge in FileMaker layouts: creating a portal with 2 (or more) columns He provides examples of 2 techniques, each with their own trade-offs. If nothing else, it’s a great example of the power of FileMaker 17’s new master-detail portal object.

A colleague recently posed this challenge: is it possible to show two columns in a portal, such that the first row displays records 1 and 2, the second row displays records 3 and 4, etc.? With FileMaker, the answer is usually “Yes!”
