This means the visual scroll bar never appears on-screen but the grey scroll indicator does given that it is appearing to the left of the scroll bar - the area of which is still on screen.

What we have done is to simply place the visible scroll-bar portion of the portal off the right edge of the layout. If we look at the layout in layout mode, you can see how this effect has been achieved. With a portal you get a nice left-edge of the screen without the list-view thin bar you get to indicate current record.Portals in FileMaker Go 12 no longer require to be clicked into before you can begin scrolling which was the case in FileMaker Go 11.This means they feel much more like a faster native application, and we don't see so much blocky rendering happening. Portals have a tendency to render much faster than records in list-view.We do not wish for our context to be that of the portal (or a list-view layout).There are a couple of reasons why we chose not to: You may be asking yourself why we didn't just use a list-view layout as opposed to a portal - surely that would have been easier.

This layout mostly contains a portal and as you can see in the image, we too have a little grey scroll indicator up to the right edge of screen. So below we have a layout that we have designed to be used on an iPhone running FileMaker Go 12. This is what we are going to try and replicate for our FileMaker Go layout for iPhone. You'll notice it can even slightly overlay some of the contents, as if the scroll is floating on top of everything else. In these applications the scroll indicator is close up to the right edge of the screen. This is typified by a thin grey bar to give a visual cue as to where the scroll position is - yet there is no actual scrollbar present. If you look at any regular application on the iPhone or iPad you'll notice they all have very similar looking scrolling. This article outlines some of the changes to portal scrolling in FileMaker Go 12 and we give a couple of examples how it can be set-up to give a very nice native-application look and feel. Portal scrolling has always been a bit of a struggle in FileMaker Go up until the release of version 12.
