Delete Portal Row
Purpose
Deletes the selected portal row (which deletes data in a related record).
Format
Delete Portal Row [No dialog]
Options
Perform without dialog prevents a message box from displaying when the script step executes
that asks the user to confirm the deletion of the portal row.
To delete Do this
A master record Make sure that the record you want to delete is active (use navigation script steps),
and then use Delete Record/Request. If the current layout contains a portal, use Exit
Record/Request to make sure that no related record is selected, then use Delete
Record/Request.
A related record Use the Delete Portal Row script step. If Delete Record/Request executes when a
related field in a portal is selected, the user sees a dialog box that asks whether the
master record or related record should be deleted. (Note that Allow deletion of
portal records must also be selected in the Portal Setup dialog box to enable
deletion of related records.)
A find request Make sure that the find request you want to delete is active (use navigation script
steps), and then use Delete Record/Request.
