Re: [nmsinc] Can CMS Builder handle listings within listings

Hi Ray,

Yes, you'd be able to model this data in CMS Builder. This is the approach I would take.

First, I would make on section for a property. Next, I would make a separate section for all the different "files" that would need to be associated with a property (in your example: Owner, soil types, improvements, taxes). I would create one new section for each of them.

In each of the other sections, I would have a drop down box where I would relate the record back to the parent property ( for information on how to do that, see this article:
http://www.interactivetools.com/knowledge_base/article.php?Populate-a-list-field-from-another-section-15)

Finally, back in the main property record, you could create a related record field for all of your sub "files" so you can see which record have been associated with that property.

Hope this helps get you started. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
