I did so because it was messy having a ghost row at the bottom of the portal and, if there was a delete button on the portal row, that delete button would appear in the ghost row and cause user confusion by them trying to delete a record that wasn’t actually there. In FM7 and above you have the option of specifying the initial row to display in the portal.

However now, with the Hide object when functionality that is brand new in FileMaker™ 13, we can allow the creation of records in the table without any confusion on the user’s part. Here is the portal and, as you can see, there is a new record waiting to be created but all we have is a single field showing and some instructions.

When the user enters the amount and tabs out of the field, the arrow and instructions are immediately hidden and the remaining three fields and the delete button appear. This frees up more room in the portal due to the fact that you don’t have to put in a button to generate a new portal record.
