I am working on a project containing employees and projects. I have a portal displaying a list of projects related to each employee.

My goal is to create a checkbox next to certain projects in the portal and then have the capability to export the project information along with the employees info to an XML file.

I have attached a barebones version of both tables with several records and a portal to display as an example.

Would someone be able to point me in the right direction?

After I find a way to mark certain items and then export I will try to find out how to change the order in which they will be exported

portal_example_01.fp7.zip

Filemaker always exports the current found set, in the current sort order. You can include related fields in the export: for example:

• find the projects you want to include (in the Projects table) and export them along with the related fields from the Employees table;

or:

• find the join records for the projects to be included, and export them - including only the related fields from Projects and Employees in the export.

The information exported in both cases will be the same, just arranged differently.
