Hi Ron
Trying to follow this thread...
Thinking about this some more I am still confused.
I think we are confused as well...
My concept was two portals: one for the one or more person related
to Household.
Reasonable this far. Each household has one or more persons and these
persons appear in a portal -- one row each.
The second portal has the Tab control, where each tab goes to the
associated “Role” table.
I'm not sure if a tab control can be placed within a portal row. But
perhaps we shouldn't be concerned with technical details at this
stage...
So each row in this second portal shows what? A household person
again? Or something else?
And if each row of the portal did have a tab control, what would each
tab be showing?
If I put a button on each Person record, than I can direct it to
the RoleTab control on the 2nd portal, but I am missing how the
relationship gets established, so the portals on the RoleTab
control know which Person I want.
Hmmmm... Thinking....
Are you wanting to click on a person in the 'first' portal and see
more details of that person on the same screen? So you are on a
record for the Cassidy household. On the left is a list of members:
Steve, David, Alison, etc. Click on 'Steve' and on the right hand
side of the screen you see details for Steve, including Steve's
various roles? Then click on Alison to see details for Alison and her
roles?
If that's it, then you do not need a portal on the right to display
the person information. But since each person possibly has multiple
roles, you could use a portal to display those. No tab control
needed, though.
If this is what you want, then do tell. You will need a global
containing the id of the clicked person. It would take a bit of
explaining, but I or someone else will do it if we know this is your
requirement.
The Global ID idea I don’t understand…
Thanks for your patience.
If it's something else you are looking for, I think you will need to
explain more clearly. In particular, you will need to answer my two
questions above: what does each row of the second portal display and
what does each tab in each portal row display?
