Mark and possibly sort portal information for export to XML

[lanceomni]

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

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.
