How to build a Report/Form sharing the same page and do multiple Updates

Question

Hi, I´m building and APEX application (V4.2). Customer is demanding a report/form with the ability to do multiples Updates with only one click. For example, they check multiples "check box" for Aprpove and then only one click for  "Apply Changes".
Thanks in advance,

Hi Luis,
If I understand you correctly you want to check a number of rows for approval and update their status. The jQuery function used looks for checked checkboxes. In your case that will correspond with an update on the IND_PROBACION column. You can simply log the PK column value of each checked row:
var pkS = $('.uReportStandard input[type=checkbox]:checked').map(
   function() {
   return $(this).parent().parent().find('td[headers="PK"] input').val();
   ).get().join(':');
$('#P1_PKS').val(pkS);
You need to replace PK with the actual column name of your primary key column, or rowid for that matter.
In your submit process you can simply set each IND_PROBACION to your apporval value for each pk stored in the P!_PKS item.
If you need further assistence, please set up an example on apex.oracle.com
