I have a requirement in my Database application project, in which i was developing using Apex 4.0 version..
In my DB application page, i have a report containing the following column

in front of an "resolution summary" column, i have a edit button icon....
Soon after clicking that edit icon it has to navigate to other page which consist of only one field, which will only show the detailed content of the resolution summary column...
Since my requirement is, in the report column of the resolution summary it has to show the content like in the hint manner...for eg..
------------------resolution summary--------------------------actual_resolution_summary------------------
---------edit--------the issue is........-----------------------------------24-jan
---------edit--------some other.......-----------------------------------13-jan
---------edit--------the issue re......------------------------------------20-jan
---------edit--------the matter.......------------------------------------18-jan
my requirement in the report is in the above manner.............
it has to show only the detailed content of the resolution summary column soon after pressing the edit button icon...........
Normally in my report column of the resolution summary it has to show the datas only in hint manner...
how i can able to achieve it....
any help will be appreciated.......

Hi,
OK - let's go through this step by step.
Firstly, let us assume that you want ADMIN users to go to page 1 and non-ADMIN users to go to page 2 after logging in.
Now, create a table in your workspace called, say, ADMIN_USERS - run the following in SQL Commands:
CREATE TABLE ADMIN_USERS
  LOGINNAME VARCHAR2(100)
)Now you insert into that table all of the admin users:
INSERT INTO ADMIN_USERS VALUES ('ADMINUSERNAME1');where ADMINUSERNAME1 is the login name for an admin user. Repeat that for every admin user.
Now you have a list of admin users for your application.
Now, go to Shared Components for the application. In the Security Section, click on "Authorization Schemes". Then click the "Create" button. Select "From Scratch" and click "Next". Enter "ADMIN_USERS" as the name, select "Exists SQL Query" as the "Scheme Type", enter the following into "Expression 1":
SELECT LOGINNAME
FROM ADMIN_USERS
WHERE UPPER(LOGINNAME) = UPPER(v('APP_USER'))then enter anything you like into the "Identify error message..." setting and click "Create"
Now we have an Authorization Scheme that we can use in your application.
Now, go to Page 1.
Click the Create icon in the "Branches" section. Select "On Load: Before Header" as the Branch Point and leave Branch Type as "Branch to Page or URL" and click Next. Enter 2 into the Page setting, then click "Next". Click "Create Branch" to create this new branch. When the branch has been created, edit it. Scroll down to the "Security" section and you will see an "Authorization Scheme" setting list - click on the drop-down arrow for this list and you will see, along with the default values, "ADMIN_USER" and "{Not ADMIN_USER}", select "{Not ADMIN_USER}" and click "Apply Changes.
Now, when you log in, as long as your login name appears in the ADMIN_USERS table, you are part of the "ADMIN_USERS" Authorization Scheme - but, if you do not appear in that table, then you are *not* part of the "ADMIN_USERS" scheme. When login is completed, Apex will redirect to Page 1. *BUT* the authorization on the branch is "{Not ADMIN_USERS}", so if you are not part of the scheme, this branch will be triggered and you will be redirected to Page 2. If you *are* an admin user, then the Authorization fails, the branch is not triggered and you remain on Page 1.
I hope that helps!
