I created a new custom screen in the Contacts app. I then added a Portal Navigation object to the top of the screen and selected the existing Customer Contacts Portal as the navigation Menu. After that I clicked the Edit Nav Menus button and added my custom screen as a link in the portal. I did this months ago and every now and then the link ...

Hi Alex, Although the subtotal row will total whatever is contained in your SQL override, you cannot change its formatting. This goes for both alignment as well as number of decimal places. - Justin

Hi Alex, SQL Overrides are outside the scope of what we can really provide help with here on the forums, but you could try using GETDATE(). I'm not 100% certain if it will work, but you can give it a shot. If you'd like to go over some more advanced customization concepts, you would likely benefit from booking some time with a ...

Hi Alex, Are you using the Shared Result on the same screen you're populating it from? If so, I would recommend using a hidden Textbox to hold your value instead of a Shared Result.

Hi Mike, To change the length of a field in Method, you can double-click on the current value under the Size column in the table (in the popup that results from clicking Edit Fields...). You should then be able to enter in a new value, and then click outside the textbox to commit the change. Click Finished Editing ...
