   we are a software company and want to let our customer manage their software licenses via the portalconnector  grid view. This works fine so far.
   However, what is now needed is an additional button that will make some or all of the content in the grid view downloadable (not the export to excel function). How can this be done?
   Best would be if the download button runs only on the filtered view, not on the complete content like the expoprt to excel does.
   
   Any ideas how to get that done?

   Hello Eva,
   
   I apologize for the late response. There are a few ways that we could get this done:
   
   

   1. A separate CRM Grid View widget configured to show your desired view, however this Grid View would only provide the "Export" button to the user and would hide all the data, allowing you to define what is exported and what isn't.
   2. Custom "Export" widget which shows a button. When clicking the button code behind runs the query and provides a download to the user with all of the data in your desired format.
   3. A button that navigates to a empty page with a CRM List View on it, this page would show all the data in your desired format based on the ID's in the query string. Exporting here would be via "Print to PDF"

   Let me know if any of these options may work for you and I can provide further details.
   
   Regards,
   Clinton
