In this tutorial, we will make a simple portal that you can use as a voting system for your users. To start, we need to have 3 tables in our base:

Story - The table that contains the list of stories that will be reviewed

Reviewer - The table where the list of reviewers that can log in to the portal is saved

Reviews - The table that contains a list of reviews per story per reviewer

1. Story - The table that contains the list of stories that will be reviewed
2. Reviewer - The table where the list of reviewers that can log in to the portal is saved
3. Reviews - The table that contains a list of reviews per story per reviewer

Let's go through the important fields that you need to set up for each of the tables.

___________________________________________________________

In the portal, use the Reviewer table as the user table.

You must have the Reviews table as a portal table.

In this tutorial, we disable creating records in the Reviews table. The admin will assign stories to review per reviewer.

This is the child form that will be used where the reviewers can enter their reviews.

When we open the portal, there are no records yet in the portal.

The records will only appear when an admin assigns a story for review by adding a record in Reviews table. The record is added for this tutorial.

After creating a record to the Reviews table and assigning a story and a reviewer, the record will now show up in the portal. Now, the reviewer can click the tile. The child form will pop up where the reviewer can set a rating and enter more details in the feedback field.
