Grouping of Fields

Good day.

I’m looking into coverting the values of fields of a form to an xml file.

The problem I’m having is that the fields need to be placed under different elements in the XML. I need to find a way to delimate or group the fields so that I know under which XML element I should place them.

For example, the fields ‘FirstName’ and ‘LastName’ need to go under the element, where ‘PostalAddress’ needs to go under an element. So I would like to state that ‘FirstName’ falls under the ‘Person’ group and ‘Postal Address’ under the ‘Address’ group.

I have taken a look at a Lotus Notes field properties in Domino Designer and there’s no obvious way of grouping the field. The same goes for the programmer’s pane. I don’t see a property or event I can use.

I would appreciate any help you can offer me. Feel free to enquire for more info.

Regards,

Kobus

Subject: Grouping of Fields

Kobus,

You might want to create a profile document and within the document have one field that holds multi values. You can then place the notes field name + some delimiter + your grouping. for example

LastName:Person

FirstName:Person

Address:Address

Zip Code:Address

When you create your xmls you would have loaded these values into a list, and then you can get the grouping from there.
