To portal or not?

Ok, I have a layout with data. It was 10 fields for text input. I have a check mark next to each field to change the color of the field when there is something that I need to be warned about. I would like to create a summary page that will only list the fields that I have set the conditionals (check marks) for.

What would be the best way to do this? Portals would show all of them. I only want the ones that I've marked. Thanks.

It seems that instead of 10 fields, you should have 10 related records in another table. More details about what your solution is supposed to accomplish would be useful.

I have a form (layout) that has 10 fields that contain good and bad text information. I flag the bad information on each page with a conditional setting (changing it's color) and wish to have another layout/report that I can transfer only the "flagged" (bad) information to it. When we have filled out all 10 fields, I then create a PDF of the layout, delete the information and start using the form again. But I wish to have a "running record" of all the bad things, so when I need to submit it for review, I have all them on one report and don't have to dig through the PDF's.

I don't think you have added anything new to what you said before. In any case, you cannot keep or delete a part of a record. That's why it seems better to use another table where each of the 10 "things" is a separate record that can be marked, found and deleted individually.

IOW, to portal? Yes.
