Expanding column header interactive Reports dynamically

In my interactive Reports one of my columns specifically my db_CUSTOMER_NAME column can be from 3 to 50 characters. (or even longer...)
Was wondering how i can dynamically expand that td column "Dynamically" because i dont want to put a fix length just because there maybe 2 records that goes over +50 characters.
Right now i set my column width to 150 px and there the occasional word wrap that happens which i don't want as it looks "funny."

<style>
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td[headers="db_CUSTOMER_NAME"] {
  white-space: nowrap;
</style>Ensure that <tt>db_CUSTOMER_NAME</tt> used in the selector exactly matches the <tt>id</tt> attribute of the column header.

  • Need to fix the width of a column in interactive report

    Hi,
    I have a column named 'Comment'. Its have a huge data due to which the lenght of that column in interactive report get increased. I need to fix the length to a desired value.
    I used following code in Region Footer:
    <style>
    table.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td[headers=COMMENTS] {
      _width: 300px;
      min-width: 50px;
      max-width: 300px }
    </style>
    Its solved the problem by fixing the width of the column but the column is not showing the full data now. It is hiding most of its part to fit it in that column.
    Please give some idea.
    Thanks,
    Chandru

    Hi,
    I believe you will want to add a height specification to allow for multiple lines.  And you may want/need to specifiy how you want lines to wrap.
    Add (for example):
      height: 60px; 
      white-space: nowrap; 
      word-wrap: break-word;
    There are defaults and several options for white-space and word-wrap.  You may want to look them up and give them a try for comparison.

  • Dynamically assign column heading to Report columns

    I need to assign values to column headings of various Report Columns of my Report region based on current value of one of my application items. How can I do it?

    Never mind, there was another post like this. Duplicate. Just in case someone is looking for the answer, here is what worked for me:
    Assume the Application item is called app_item_My_dynamic_head_col1.
    Add a page computation before the page loads to set the value of the application item based on whatever condition.
    Edit the report column.
    In place of hard coded column heading "Project Name" (that was my column heading), replace it with
    &app_item_My_dynamic_head_col1.
    The key here is the period after &app_item_My_dynamic_head_col1.
    As the page loads, the column heading will be value of the app_item_My_dynamic_head_col1 (as assigned by the computation).

  • Display BLOB (image) column in (interactive) report

    Hi,
    I have a field called "picture" in my table "details" which is of type BLOB. i also have a field for "MIMETYPE" and "filename"
    i additionally have a "name" and "description" columns which i need to display along with the picture as columns in a report (preferably interactive).
    i have also modified the BLOB display format as per
    http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/apex/r31/apex31nf/apex31blob.htm
    what i am missing is the correct query. if possible, i would like to control the size of the picture rendered within the report like say 40*50.
    I have also referred to the thread
    APEX 3.1 Display BLOB Image
    But i don't know how to place the
    dbms_lob.getlength("BLOB_CONTENT") as "BLOB_CONTENT"
    in my query.
    The above also makes the report column as of type "number". is this expected?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

            , description
            , dbms_lob.getlength(picture) picture
    from
              details
    if possible, i would like to control the size of the picture rendered within the report like say 40*50.For images close to this size it's easy to do this for declarative BLOB images in interactive reports using CSS. Add a style sheet with:
    .apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td[headers="PICTURE"] img {
      display: block;
      width: 40px;
      border: 1px solid #999;
      padding: 4px;
      background: #f6f6f6;
    }where the <tt>PICTURE</tt> value in the attribute selector is the table header ID of the image column. Setting only one dimension (in this case the width) scales the image with the correct aspect ratio. (The border, padding and background properties are just eye candy...)
    However, scaling large images in the browser this way is a huge waste of bandwidth and produces poorer quality images than creating proper scaled down versions using image tools. For improved performance and image quality, and where you require image-specific scaling you can use the database ORDImage object to produce thumbnail and preview versions automatically, as described in this blog post.

  • Set default search column in Interactive Report

    Hi All:
    In APEX 4.0, for "Interactive Report" search function:
    If user doesn't select a column name to search for (this is done by click Magnifier glass icon), the IR will search "All Columns" that contains a string you have typed in the search bar.
    Is there a way to configure IR so that, by default, it will not search "All Columns", instead, it should search a particular column that I will specify when define this IR report.
    Why I am asking this? Here is my case:
    I have created a IR report to search employee information. By default, when user enters a string in the search bar, user want to search "Emploee Full Name" column in my IR report. User wants this default search behavior and really doesn't want to "click Magnifier glass icon and select "Employee Full Name" column; then type the search string).
    Basically, in my case, the IR report should default to search "Employee Full Name" if user doesn't select any search column.
    Any idea how to achieve this?
    Thanks!
    Kevin

    In the above DA, Changing the 'Event Scope' to 'Dynamic' should trigger it after PPR. I tried it but it's not working for me.
    Try the below it's working for me as expected,
    Create DA like below,
    Event: After Refresh
    Selection Type: Region
    Region: Select your IR region
    In True Action,
    Action: Execute Javascript Code
    Code:
    $s('apexir_SEARCH_COLUMN_DROP','COLUMN_LABEL');                           
    $s('apexir_CURRENT_SEARCH_COLUMN', 'COLUMN_ALIAS');
    In Affected Element,
    Selection Type: Region
    Region: Select your IR region
    Event Scope: bind (Default)
    Make sure Fire On Page Load under 'Execution Option' is checked. (i.e. Fire On Page Load: Yes)
    I am using APEX 4.0.2.00.07. It's working for me also in apex.oracle.come it's working in my example application.

  • Row Selector column on Interactive Report

    Hi all,
    I have an interactive report based on a custom SQL query. How do I add a row selctor column so I cans select individual rows? I have also tried using a tabular form which also does not display a row selctor column. This is odd as my other tabular forms display a row selctor column.
    Many thanks for you help,
    Chris

    Chris,
    Usually when someone wants a row selector, it's to choose a few rows by clicking a checkbox, then doing something with them. I'm guessing that's what you're looking for?
    Martin Giffy D'Souza's [blog post|http://apex-smb.blogspot.com/2009/01/apex-report-with-checkboxes-advanced.html] explains one way to do that which should work for you. I haven't tried, it, but it looks pretty comprehensive.
    Good luck,
    Stew

  • Displaying different colors for cells/columns in Interactive Report

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to display just the 'cells' in the Interactive Report columns with different colors.
    There are 3 columns in the Interactive report.
    The color coding for all the 3 different columns should be such that:
    <40% - red color
    40-70-orange
    greater than 70%-green
    I tried the highlight option in the report and saved the report as default, but still the color condition ended up getting displayed to the end user. I dont want this.
    Can someone suggest a better way to handle this requirement?

    Perhaps explore similar solutions described here

  • Conditionally displayed columns of interactive report not displayed

    We have an interactive report in which few of the columns have been defined with conditions for display.
    But on the interactive report page, when the conditions are satisfied these columns do not display in the report by default.
    These columns are found in the 'Select Columns' -> 'do not display' pane. Everytime the report is run, these columns need to be selected using the select column.
    Is there anyway to make the columns appear in the report by default, when conditions are true.

    Thanks Jari for your help.
    For this issue, we finally came up with a work around.
    we removed the conditions from all the columns then ran the application report page.
    Clicked on Select Columns and moved the columns from the do not display pane to the right pane.
    Ordered them as needed. Then saved the report as primary.
    Then again went to the edit page-> interactive report and applied the conditions to the necessary columns.
    and it worked.
    When I went to the report these columns are displayed by default.

  • Hide/show functionality of a column in  interactive report

    Hi ,
    Is it possible to remove the hide functionality from a single column in an interactive report ?
    I have an interactive report with the first column being a check box. On the column name I have added the toggle checkall/uncheck all functionality.Now when the user clicks on the check all, the hide column option shows up.
    I do not want the users to be able to hide this column.I was able to remove the sort/filter/control break/aggregate/compute chart
    from unchecking each of these from the report attributes of the column.However I could not figure out how to remove the hide column popup that shows up when you click on the checkbox column name.
    Appreciate any response ...

  • Multiple Column Header in Report (BEx and Web Reporting)

    Hi All,
            I've a requirement where my reports is having multiple column header.
       To be precise the column header is further divided into many sub-columns (upto 4 levels).
    Structure cannot help in this case since we have more than 2 such columns and we are using web reporting as well.
    Here is how it looks
                             <b>Header-A</b>
    Header-B1   |   Header-B2   |   Header-B3    |  Header-Bn
    Hdr-C1 |Hdr-C2 |Hdr-D1 |Hdr-D2 |Hdr-E1 |Hdr-E2 |Hdr-Fn..
    The above is a sample header structure.
    This report will be a Web Based report and I need to know whether its possible to do it in BEx also.
    We are not using Crystal Reports.
    If there is any document related to this, please mail to
    [email protected]
    Thanks & Regards,
    Chandran Ganesan

    Hi Chandran,
    I hope i am getting your problem right.
    If your
    Header-B1 | Header-B2 | Header-B3 | Header-Bn
    Hdr-C1 |Hdr-C2 |Hdr-D1 |Hdr-D2 |Hdr-E1 |Hdr-E2 |Hdr-Fn..
    are a set of key figures, then there is an option.
    For example:
    You drag Header-B1,Hdr-C1 |Hdr-C2
    into column section.Right click on Hdr-C1, Hdr-C2 and select down under. So your Hdr-C1, Hdr-C2 will be under
    Header-B1.
    Like wise drag Header-B2,Hdr-D1,Hdr-D2
    Right click on Hdr-D1,Hdr-D2 and say Down under and these two will fit below Header-B2.
    You can repeat the above steps for Header-B3... Header-Bn
    The output will be same as the one you have specified above.
    Hope it helps,
    Regards,
    Parth.
