Daily Report Layout Customization

Is it possible to customize the layout in the Daily Report - LABOR tab? I wish to rearrange the column order and the widths. It is possible at the Daily Report level but I don't see how it is possible at the Tab level...

It is never pointless to submit an enhancement request whether you own 1 license or 1,000. Without enhancement requests, you are relying on others to ultimately decide what should be included in the application and how to make it better. Primavera (Oracle) relies on feedback from all clients and users when it comes to bugs or new features. I have also seen the bug/enhancement process in action while I worked at Primavera. You're right, marketing, development, support, and others have input when it comes to deciding which bugs to fix and which enhancements to add. Ultimately, bugs have to be fixed before enhancements can be added and then they have to decide which enhancements will do the most good vs. the amount of time it will take to deliver as something that seems simple enough could take a really long time to program, test, and refine. They also need to deliver a product and service packs while working with a limited development staff; there are not exactly 100s of devs working on CM.
I am just trying to encourage everyone to send in enhancement ideas that could benefit everyone or else the software will never get better.

Customize portal report layout

Is it possible to customize the report layout ?
I don't want a plain table layout.
Can someone tell me where I can find documentation on how to customize portal report layout?
Thank U.
Regards Cecilie

Hi,
You can customize the Report Layout by using
the Custom option in the Report Layout section
while creating the Report.
It allows to write your own HTML code to define the Layout.
The three Layout options which can be used are:
Tabular
Form
Custom
Hope this Helps
Thanks

Custom Report Layout with mutliple child tables

I am trying to create a custom report layout (using Bi Publisher) where I have parent data (multiple jobs on a page) and several child tables for each job (JobDays and JobStops) and several child tables for JobDays (JobDayProviders, JobDayCrew). On the apex screen, I have a join on Jobs and JobDays and I am using functions to string each child row value for JobDayProviders and JobDayCrew together and putting a <br> in between so that they will format on separate lines within a cell. It works fine on the screen but when trying to print to pdf, it ignores these line breaks. I have also tried using <br></br> (saw an article that said just use HTML in bi pulisher) which puts two lines in between each value on the screen and is still ignored on the pdf.
for example:
Table hierarchy:
Jobs table
Job Stops
Job Days
Job Day Service Providers
Job Day Crew
Report Layout per job (will have mutlipe jobs to print, just printing 1 day per job):
Jobs.col1 JobStops.row1 JobDay.col1 JobDayProviders.row1 JobDayCrew.r1
JobStops.row2 JobDayProviders.row2 JobDayCrew.r2
JobDayProviders.row3
Thanks,
Linda
First, is there a way to get bi publisher to recognize the line breaks? If not, what is the best way to create a custom report for this scenario? I tried to create a report query with mutliple queries, but cannot determine how to link the child queries to the paren query. I have seen an example where a button is pressed to print one parent row and the id of that row is saved and referenced as a parameter in each of the queries, but if printing mutliple parents on a report, how would I link the child queries to the parent query?

Helen,
The best way for your case is to use a content folder and customize it whichever way you like.
however, your question is about reports. the problem in reports is this that you have to use just one single query and the layout of the results of this query are displayed in a peculiar way.
anyway. something similar but not exactly the same as what you wanted do is the following.
use a query like the following: (with a union in between)
SELECT COLUMN1,NULL , NULL ,NULL ,NULL
FROM my_source_table
WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
UNION
SELECT NULL,COLUMN2 , COLUMN3, COLUMN4, COLUMN5
FROM my_source_table
WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
---------- Now, have the following codes in the layout segments:

<table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" width="20%" align="center">

<tr align="center">
<td><table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="30%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
<TH><#COLUMN1.FIELD#></TH>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN2.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN3.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN4.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN5.FIELD#></TD>
</tr>

<TR><TD></TD></TR>
this should produce a report with a table structure (you may see the whole if you give BORDER="1" in the main table tag). Within this table, the first column of the first row should be showing top-leftmost column value once (COLUMN1 value) and then the next rows would show last four column values as a table block on the right-bottom part.

PDF Printing Issue - Customised Report Layout Error

Hi,
I am trying to get a PDF file output based on the customised RTF file created. I follow the following steps but I am facing an issue with that.
(i) Go to Shared Components > Report Queries.
(ii) Create a new Report query with more than one query.
(iii) Using the XML Data in the Report queries, create a Report Layout (RTF) file.
(iv) Navigate to shared components Report Layout and upload the RTF file.
(v) Once this is done, use the Report Layout created in the Report Queries. Select the Layout name from the Drop Down.
(vi) Click on TEST REPORT, this produces an error: Adobe Reader could not open the <file name> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded )
Additional Info
The apex instance configured with Embbedded plsql, rdbms version is 11.1.0.7.0 and the BI publisher version 10.1.3.3.
ISSUE DESC
When I use mulitple Queries even after using Generic Report Layout I get the output for the first query alone in the PDF and the remaining Queries are ignored.
And when i use a user defined template, then even If i have a single report query I get the error.
To summarise, I am not able to use the customised Layouts.
I have reproduced the issue in apex.oracle.com
Please log in using,
WORKSPACE: demo_test
USER NAME: [email protected]
pwd: vidhya
After logging in please select the Application Builder.
In that select the Application named PDF.
Select the Shared components > Report Queries
Select the Report Query named test.
Click on the TEST REPORT button in the Source Queries Section.
You will get the error.
Now in the same page in the Report Query Attributes Section change the Report Layout to Use Generic Report Layout and then click on 'TEST REPORT', this will give the PDF file without errors.
The same report has been called from the PRINT REPORT button provided in the page 1 of the application.
This issue is really urgent and critical. Require your inputs/help.
Thanks,
Ramya

I' an APEX newbie and believe I am having the same or a similar problem. I am (for now) developing a system using the hosted Apex development system online. I have created a Report Query which works fine with the default layout. I downloaded the XML (tried both sample data and schema) into Word 2007 with the BI Publisher Template Builder. I used the table wizard to create a simple layout containing all columns with no customization at all. Saved as an RTF, uploaded to Apex as a Report Layout, associated it with the Report Query, clicked Test Report -- and I got nothing.
When the is a PDF, I get the same error you mention ( Adobe Reader could not open the <file name> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded ). If I switch to an HTML file the out is just a blank screen.
If I switch back to generic report layout, it works fine. This suggests there is something wrong with the template, though it looks fine in Word with the sample data.
I've searched the forums and Google for the better part of a day. What am I missing?

Report Layout Editor

I have used this successfully in the past but have a new challenge.
In the past I have been able to produce clean and tidy reports for a single table. Now I want to do the same for a query joining two tables (order and transaction) on a single order id.
An order has several transactions. I don't want to repeat the static order details on every row, just the changing transaction details.
I have been able to list only the transaction details in the body section quite easily. I've also been able to list the labels for the order details in the head section. But when I try to list the field data using the .FIELD suffix instead of the .LABEL suffix it is not changed to data.
I take it that the head section is designed to deal only with .LABELS while the body section deals only with .FIELDS.
Can anyone suggest an alternative for doing this? Would a dynamic page be better? And if so how do I do it? Bear in mind that I need to pass a variable containing the order id from another report.

Sharmila-
Thanks for the reply. I am trying to reference a value from the report rather than the parameter itself. I'll try to explain. I have a report which displays information for an employee. For a custom report, in the report layout editor there are three different sections, headings, body and footer. In these sections you place the HTML to customize your layout. In the body you can reference placeholders like #EMPLOYEE_ID.LABEL# for the column heading or #EMPLOYEE_ID.FIELD# for the value retrieved from the database. In the footer section of the report layout editor I want to create a link to another report using employee_id as the parameter in the link to the next report, however, within the link I am not able to get it to recognize the value from the placeholder. When I click on the link the URL shows the placeholder #EMPLOYEE_ID.FIELD# rather than the value like 1001.
Any suggestions?

Custom report layout question...can't find any answers anywhere

I am trying to build a report in Portal, using the custom report layout. The report displays like so, before I do any customization:
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
where COLUMN1 is the same value, always per report; COLUMN2 and COLUMN3 vary.
What I want is:
COLUMN1
COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN2 COLUMN3
COLUMN2 COLUMN3
In the report layout editor, Body section, this is what I see:
<TD ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN1.FIELD#></TD>
<TD ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN2.FIELD#></TD>
<TD ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN3.FIELD#></TD>
so #COLUMN1.FIELD# must be some kind of array, but I am not finding any documentation anywhere on how to reference the individual values. All I need is the very first value of the COLUMN1 variable. Once I have that value, I can put it where I need it, but I can't get at that value, just the array.
I have searched portal center, the app server documentation, html documentation. I have googled everything I could think of, but came up with nothing. I found a similar question on this forum, but no one responded with an answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use of report's customization form

Can I add a report's customization form to a content area as an application component?
I mean, I would like to use a customization form in a content area style (with the same nav bar, with the same banners and layout). It's a little inconvinience that all of my forms and reports are displayed in content area forms, except ones that need customization form.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the hint, because I have the same task to perform (display customization form first).
I created a PL/SQL item, in Primary Item Attributes I included the PL/SQL code:
begin
PORTAL30.ARTICLE_SELECT_FORM.show_parms;
end;
In the PL/SQL Execute Options, I selected "Public (PORTAL30_PUBLIC)". The PL/SQL item works fine as long as I'm logged on as the PORTAL30 user. When I log on as an end-user, WWV-12600 appeares (insufficient privileges).
What exactly do I have to grant - and where? Balaji said "grant execute on this package to public" - could you please tell me where and how to do this (on database level or within Portal)?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Portal Report Layout Editor

I have created a report selecting the custom report layout option. Rather than using a link on the column, I would like to add different links in the footer section in the Report Layout Editor. My problem is trying to create a link and pass a value from the report to the next report. I have tried to use the placeholder #fieldname.field# in an attempt to pass the value in my call to the other report object but it is not working. My actual call is listed below:
Address
When I click on the link the other report returns "No row returned". If I substitue the placeholder with a value I know exists the link works correctly.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can embed the placeholder in the link command. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sales quote layout rows doubled in crystal report layout

Dear All,
Sales quote layout rows doubled in crystal report layout.
In sales quote layout the rows are doubled. Even in the standard layout. If the quote contains only two rows. Then it is doubled as 4 rows in the crystal report layout.
It is happening in the particular database. Other database are working fine. I request you people to help me to overcome this issue.

Huge delay in Printing Crystal Report Layout

Good Day Experts,
I am experiencing big delays when printing a document that makes use of a Crystal Report Layout Design.
For example,
The Sales Quote is set to automatically print when added by the user.
When clicking 'Add', SAP freezes up and only about 30 seconds later does the printer finally print the document.
During that time, the user cannot use SAP at all.
The layout does have a lot of fields and a few formulas here and there.
Logically, I am thinking that that is the reason for the delay, as SAP needs to calculate and populate those fields.
Is there any other way that I could speed up this process? Or if you know what might be causing this speed issue?
Your assistance will be appreciated,
Thanks
Regards
Dario

Report Layout in report Painter

I created a Report in reportPainter. In the report layout, lead column section..I select Group Name to display the group name (set's id) in the report's lead column but not all the set's keys appear. It only appears children's ids but not the father's ids.
I also need the father's ids....why do I do to have the father's ids too?
Thanks...
Example
father set:
A Inventories
chidren sets:
A1 Raw Materials
A2 Obsolete Materials
In the report I only see the A1 and A2 ids and its descriptions. I also see the Inventories word. But I dont see the A key next to the Inventories description....why?

Hi,
Check whether the field in the internal table used for displaying ID is getting pouplated or not

How to link PDF document in Report Layout??

I need to display the contents of PDF document after the form letter report. I tried OLE object but at the runtime it does not display the content. Does any one knows how to attach PDF document in reports layout?
Thanks
Ravindra

you will have to concatinate your report output with the static PDF document. in reprots 10g you can create a cusotm destination that could implement this functionality.
out of the box, reports does not provide the ability to add static content in PDF to reports' generated PDF output.
thanks,

Oracle bi publisher report for apex - Report Layout

Hi There,
Navigation: Home>Application Builder>Application 20>Shared Components>Report Layouts
I created rtf template for a Report Query. It worked fine upto certain point.
However at some point, if I make a minor modification to the layout it is not displaying all the data that it is supposed to.
I have 3 tables in my RTF template 1) Header 2) Details 3) Summary. Details section has a group. This runs fine.
Now if I just combine all the above 3 tables into one by adding row above and row below to the "2) details" table and moving the table 1 and table 3 into those rows, makes the data in the group in table 2 disappear when run on the apex application.
However it works fine when data is loaded on the RTF template and Preview --> PDF is seen.
Is it a known bug? Because some of my coleagues has same issues.
Thanks
Krishna

Are those fields in the corresponding report query? change to the design of the document? did you delete the old template and re-upload after making the changes?
Moreover the preview on the RTF template works fine with the same data.Preview from where?

Standard Report layouts in Crystal 2008 for SBO 2007A

It has been 2 years since SBO adopted Crystal Reports to become part of the standard product, I refer back to the initial links which promised links to Standard Reports, however 2 years later these links appear to be exactly the same, no updates.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/807d22cb-cb1d-2b10-8794-fb76d7feca88#section12 [original link is broken]
For SBO 8.8 there appears to be a pack of Reports available for Sales Orders, Purchase Orders etc
I would like to know if there a pack of standard Crystal reports for SBO 2007A and if so where would we be able to find them?
Many thanks
