Bringing up the help popup in an interactive report

The gear dropdown on an interactive search, has a help, that when clicked on would bring up a popup explaining the icons of the gear search.
I created a button and trying to bring up this help when the user clicks on it.
How would I go about doing this?
Thanks.

Lloyd,
An interactive report is also known as a worksheet. Each interactive report region has a unique ID. That ID is needed as a parameter in the URL to generate the help page.
On second thought, try the following which should not need a page item:
javascript:html_PopUp('wwv_flow_utilities.show_ir_help?p_app_id=' + $x('pFlowId').value + '&p_worksheet_id=' + $x('apexir_WORKSHEET_ID').value + '&p_lang=en-us');Regards,

Changing the default edit icon of interactive reports

Hi,
I have tried to look around to find a place to set the default edit icon of interactive reports and I cant seem to find it.
Another thing is: What would be the best practice to change the icon to a new image that is NOT part of the apex installation? Right now we have 8 icons to choose from, which are all located in apex image library. Its not even located in the theme. So if I just overwrite the current default icon it would be overwritten again next time I upgrade apex.

Create a style sheet and include it in all required page templates:
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td[headers="LINK"] a img {
display: none;
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td[headers="LINK"] a:link,
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td[headers="LINK"] a:visited {
display: block;
/* Change dimensions to size of your icon */
height: 18px;
width: 18px;
/* Change URL to location of your icon */
background: transparent url(/i/ws/small_page.gif) no-repeat;
}This removes the edit icon specified in the IR attributes and replaces it by showing whatever icon you want as a background image on the link element. This allows you to change the icon universally for all IRs by making a simple change to the dimensions/background image URL in one place.

Bring back the Help pane!

I recently bought Flash CS4. Before this, I was used to working in Flash 8 Professional. One of the features of Flash 8 Professional I used the most was the Help pane, which displayed Flash's documentation (searchable) in a window inside Flash itself, without the need to go to a HTML file or an external web page.
Today, I started using Flash CS4, and was surprised to discover that the Help pane was (apparently) no longer a part of Flash!
So, my suggestion to the MacromediAdobe developers is: I (and, I'm sure, many others) would be grateful if you were to return in-program Help capabilities to Flash-- thanks in advance.
Everybody else: Do you feel the same way/do you have any idea why it was removed?

I don't think I've come across anyone who likes it without the help system built in. I haven't upgraded to CS4, and that is just one of the reasons for my avoiding it.
As to why they did it??? It's possiblte that like alot of the CS4 package it simply wasn't ready to be released, so they opted to leave it out... but that's just speculation on my part.
As far as letting Adobe know about your preference...

Help with Aggregate on Interactive Report

I have a field that is a number but I need to convert to show as a percentage (i.e. 17.4%) in the interactive report. At the same time I need to be able to do an Aggregate on this field so I know it needs to stay a numeric and I can't convert in the SQL. Is there a way to use the number format mask on the column to add the percentage or another way that will allow me to still perform aggregates?
Version: Application Express 3.2.1.00.12
Thanks for your help.

Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Add a logo to the header definition of an Interactive Report

Hi Folks.
Using Apex 3.1 and BI Publisher.
I am enabling an Interactive Report region to output to PDF & Excel.
Has anyone managed to add a logo to the Header/footer definition in the Print Attributes section?
Is it possible? The region definition does not understand simple HTML syntax.
If anyone would let me know if a) They've done it or b) It ain't possible that would be great.
Many thanks.
Dogfighter.

Just reading through this thread. So perhaps a few comments might be helpful:
- Interactive report regions do currently not support Report Layouts, you're limited to the built-in generic layout and won't be able to include images
- You can add a button to your interactive report region page which could initiate the download of a report query, when doing this, you would get the result set of your report query not the interactive report region, so even if the queries are the same, you might have different filters applied to your interactive report
- You can in fact include static images in your RTF report layouts using the BI Publisher Desktop Word Plug-In and MS Word, so you can have logos etc in your PDF documents. But report layouts currently only work with report queries and classic report regions
- You can also include dynamic images in your PDF, e.g. based on images stored in a BLOB column, there's currently a character escaping issue causing some trouble with this, which will be fixed in 3.1.1, more on that once 3.1.1 is out (soon)
- the print server overwrite is designed to point to a different print server than the one configured for your APEX instance, not to point to a specific report. So if your instance has BI Publisher configured, but for a specific report you want to do some special rendering using your own code, you can write e.g. a JSP, Servlet, etc that's doing the rendering, and then point yout report to that URL
Hope this helps, we do plan to add support for report layout to interactive report regions in the next full release of Application Express

Is possible to save the user that uses the download action in an interactive report.

Hi,
In my application I want to save who is downloading the interactive reports information in any format, is it possible?
Regards

Hi Eva,
As far as I know there is not an out of the box option that shows you the user that is downloading the interactive report. I guess you would have to write your own logic for that.
You can create your own logging table and a dynamic action with
1) a pl/sql procedure to insert the logging into the table, and
2) submits the page with the appropriate download format, eg. f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&SESSION_ID.:CSV::::
As trigger of the dynamic action you need to use either of the download buttons, so I'd suggest the jQuery selector "#apexir_dl*"
Kind regards,
Vincent

The symbol '=' is missing in interactive report compute option's keypad

Hi Friends,
I am having an interactive report. I am trying to give a compute option like CASE WHEN A = 10 THEN B + C ELSE B
END . All other sysmbols except *=* is found in the key pad. But if we put '=' symbol manually it is working fine. Is
there any option to show the *=* symbol in the key pad itself?
Thanks

Limitation of the entries in the drop down box of Interactive Report

Hi all,
Our team are currently using interactive report as an easy way to inquire the data stored in the database.
Our entire table had close to 2000 entries, and we notice some of the entries are not displayed in the drop down box when we cllck on the column heading. Probably the first 1000 entries showed up in the drop down box. The rest don't show up.
The drop down box is the one with the button sort ascending, sort descending, hide column, control break, and a textbox for user to type the data.
We are just wondering is this a number being set in Oracle Apex, and whether we can modify it.
FYI. we are using Apex 4.0, and Oracle 10.
Thanks,
Thomas.

Hi Thomas,
please have a look at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15517/limits.htm#BGGEIHBG
The workaround is to define a custom LOV for the filter.

Modal Popup Window Hides Help Popup Window

Hello Everybody,
today I stepped upon an issue regarding popup windows.
I have created an application with popup windows for editing and inserting new records.
I left the item label templates to "Optional with Help".
When I now click upon an item label the help - popup window appears but it is hidden behind the popup window I am working in.
Is there a workaround for that.
Is there a possibility to modify the z-order either of the help popup or of the modal window ?
Any advice is appreciated.
Regards
Marc

There are lot of options to customize the behavior of jQuery dialog. You can set height as auto, however you need to specify some fixed width depending on the content.
$( "#TEST_POPUP" ).dialog({ height: "auto", width:500 });Default for height is auto, so you may not need to specify it.
See http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Dialog for more info.

Hari

Help requested on Interactive Reporting

Hi Friends,
I am new to Interactive Reporting. I have followed the best practice document for interactive reporting (C41) and have configured the intercative reports. But when I am trying to execute the report 'Accounts with open acvtivities' I am getting the below error
Filter on status value RELEASED could not be converted and was not applied
Filter on status value PLANNED could not be converted and was not applied
Please help me with the solution for this issue. Your help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jai

Hi!
Please note that status common is language dependent, i.e. all texts for Status Profile and Status values have to be available in translated form. Further, it is a general precondition for use of the Status Common concept that the user status texts are consistent across all supported languages. This means following:
If two different combinations of status profile and status have an equal text for some language, then they also have to have an equal text for all other languages. Thereby a difference with respect to upper and lower case letters is tolerated.
Example
In following example of English and German status texts, the German text of status E0002 of profile CRMOPPCP is not consistent, as it differs from the text of status E0002 of profile CRMOPPOR. However, the English texts of these combinations of profile and status are equal.
Profile      Status     Text
CRMOPPOR     E0002      In process
CRMDRGP      E0001      In Process
CRMOPPCP     E0002      In Process
DRDWOPPH     E0002      In Process
Profile      Status     Text
CRMOPPOR     E0002      In Bearbeitung
CRMDRGP      E0001      In Bearbeitung
CRMOPPCP     E0002      Offen
DRDWOPPH     E0002      In Bearbeitung
Without this precondition, a filter on status common may lead to undefined results between different languages.

Help - How to colour columns in interactive reports

Hi,
How do I colour columns in an interactive report ?
I have created a solution to help student explore the many thousands of courses in the UK - with the results showing in an interactive report:
https://production001-demandanalysis.db.em1.oraclecloudapps.com/apex/f?p=20300118:1
(To get to results, interactive report, click a subject and then pick a subject from the course cloud.)
What I want to achieve is the colouring of the columns - as currently shown - but programatically - without the user being able to see all the highlights I had to enter to achieve this.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Steve
Apex version 4.2.2

U can change the sql code for report in following way to color column.
select
AFFIRMATION_STATUS as AFFIRMATION_STATUS ,
AFFIRMATION_DATE as AFFIRMATION_DATE,
case when AFFIRMATION_STATUS = 'Affirmed' then 'green'
when AFFIRMATION_STATUS = 'Rejected' then 'red'
end the_color
from MAIN_INTERFACE
so it will generate a report with three columns viz affirmation_status and affirmation_date and the_color . Now open the_color column in report attribute tab.In column formating put "<span style="color:#THE_COLOR#;font-weight:bold;">#AFFIRMATION_DATE#</span>". If value of affirmation_status is affirmed then affirmation_date's value will come in greeen color. If its rejected , it will come in red color.
