[b]Width of a Layout Model[/b]

Hi !
In Report 6i, I want to print with format A3, I have to use matriciel printer whose portrait orientation is landscape's ink jet or laser printer.
I need a physical page composed with one logical page, both have width 29 cm. In fact, in the Layout Model I want to use width 29 cm, only 20 cm is permitted even in the Object Navigator, I put unit Measurement Centimeter, Max. Horizontal Body Pages = 29 and Max. Vertical Body Pages = 21.
The Report Builder help topic said that I can specify my logical page. I have to put the number of Horizontal Panels per Page size and Vertical Panels per Page size, and I don�t know where I can put it.
Can you give me a solution?
Thanks!

hello
your answer is
click on the report name ..go to property palette and under Report Max.horizontal Body pages / also vertical below it .
thanks

Report Builder Layout Model Missing

when I went to edit an existing report in 10g, I found the display of the Layout model is missing.
The fields and frames are all visible in the Object Navigator but they just don't show up in the layout screen.
Is there an easy way to fix this - or do i have to rebuild the report from the queries?
**** Doh **** Noticed the layout model was pointing to the Trailer pages - hence no details.
Apologies

hi,
first u check u r layout model ,
totally three sections are there
1) header section
2) main section
3) trailer section
i think u r checking the layout in header or trailer section
first u have to check in the main section
if its not there u can with other two sections,
in these three sections not available in u r layout , go to the object navigator in the main section --> select the some fileds and repeating frame
and apply the color of black of red in selected fields and repeating frames,
after that check u r layout model

Cannot edit a reports layout in layout model

Hi,
I am trying to edit the report in layout model (Reprots 6i) but it does not allow me, it's kind of disabled/ locked out. I have saved as copy but cannot edit the the copy also. Is there a property which is making the layout as read only. I cannot even select a filed inside the layout to open the property editor.
Thanks
Kiran

HI,
Maybe you are trying to work in*Edit Margin* section. Check the second last button in first top toolbar called Edit Margin if clicked then unclick and then try to select/edit.

How to screen capture paper Layout model in oracle reports

Hi,
I have several reports and i need to be able to capture paper layout (model) view in pdfs or jpgs for presentation etc. Short of going and doing screen prints, is there an automated/batch way to do that since i have several reports. One path that comes to my mind is the XML route with appropriate style sheet that preserves the pdf look and feel)
Note that i am not asking to run a report with data which i can do manually, but instead need the layout model in the jpg/gif/pdf formats.
Thanks,

Hi
How do you know that your report server is up and running?

Layout Model awkwardness

I am new to Oracle Reports. Does anyone else find the Layout
Model awkward to work with or am I missing something basic?

It's complex, but not awkward. But it's true, you need some
experience in working with it. It's difficult, but powerful.
I suggest doing most things through Wizard/Templates and as you
get more confident, start entering into the Layout Model. Among
Problems that I find more annoying are:
- On previous versions adding a parameter required lots of
savings as sometimes it GPF-ed on Windows
- On previous versions the usage of Additional Default Layout
needed the user to be disconnected from the database...
otherwise it GPF-ed
- On current version the most annoying thing is that when you
try to modify a frame's size it automatically enlarges to the
encosing frame. You can only bring it back by turning Confine
Mode off (the lock), which of course can cause problems if you
forget it like this...
You can try to read Oracle Developer - Advanced Forms and
Reports by P. Koletzke & P Dorsey . The report part starts from
the basics.
Other rules I try to follow:
- Learn the basics
- Save as much as you can, use lots of versions
- Most of the time you can use Undo, so take one step at a time
and you can undo it.
- Color the frames, fill in the frames with color so you can see
what is on top of what

DW CC Fluid grid layout how to change px width for desktop layout

Hi there,
I have been going through the various tutorials about fluid grid layout and setting up our bureau's website in a responsive layout.
The width of the original design was 960 px and the hero pic and others have been exported at that size.
The first divs in the design look fine, header with the 960 px pic in it, and also the BC menu which is set to 960 wide.
However the body text goes out to the right, past the 960 px and this is because, right at the start, when starting the file in DW the desktop screen width is set to 1232px.
How can you change this setting when starting a new fluid grid layout?
I have tried changing the number of columns, or the percentage, and the width for desktop remains at 1232px.
Why is this?
Not all of our clients want a site 1232px wide on a pc.
Thanks so much.

Hi Ben and Nancy,
Thanks for your replies, but maybe you both don't realise I am asking specifically about DW CC and setting up a responsive design using a fluid grid layout?
I have been following the recent videos from Adobe on this.
As far as the width of 960 goes, Nancy I am only shortchanging myself, as this is the website for our agency. The original design is 960px wide as I did read somewhere that this width is recommended now that responsive is coming, as it is easily divided into a grid layout. I also am quoting for a client at the moment who wants a responsive design for their website, and they have specifically requested that the site have a maximum width of 960 px. So I would like to find out if this is possible in DW CC at the moment when doing a fluid grid layout.
So what I am trying to do here is follow the Adobe tutorials on responsive design, using DW CC and I am using the current design for our agency website as a trial to set this up and try and get it working as a responsive website.
It does not seem to me that many other people are doing this, as most people are recommending that I try Github or Bootstrap.
However, I am not a coder and I am used to using DW, so I would like to get the DW CC responsive design features working if possible.
Ben the CSS you are looking at is being generated by DW CC as I follow the steps in the Adobe demonstration videos to set up a fluid grid layout in DW CC.
One of the things they say in the videos is that you can't program the CSS directly when doing a fluid grid layout, or you break the CSS and it all stops working. So I am using the new panels in DW CC to set up the layout. One thing I cannot get access to is the ability to set a maximum width for the site. It seems to be set in concrete when you start the fluid design up in DW CC.
Here is a pic of the screen I am talking about that sets the maximum width:
I cannot click in the pixel width at the top and change it. Also if I adjust the number of gridlines or the percentage for the pc layout, the default maximum pixel width does not change.
If you click on the preferences button and go into the Window sizes screen, there does not seem to be a way to set the maximum pc width here either, so I am a bit stumped.
Maybe I just have say to my clients that if you want a responsive design then the max width for pc can only be 1232px? It does seem strange to me that this cannot be changed.

Reports 9.0.2. How to dynamically set graphic/chart width in paper layout?

Hi there,
I have a graphic with vertical bars in paper layout. Its width ranges from quarter of a A4 page width to several ones spanned. I have made the page width large enough but can not control the graphic width dynamically and when too much data must be shown on the X axis the bars get too thick to read.
Is there another way except of?:
- making the graph middle-sized and hoping that the client will not notice the visual glitch when too much or less data is the case;
- using JSP (this is not an option here).
To make the things worse, when the graph is expanded beyond a A4 page width or something its border reflects the change, but its contents is ugly shrunk.
As I browsed this forum, I got convinced that the only way to get the graph under control at some extend is to use JSP web report.
Anyone with experience on this? 10x in advance folks.

Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

LayOut Model

Hi,
I can't open the layout editor.
but i can open the data model.
Reports Builder has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
AppName: rwbld60.exe AppVer: 3.0.0.0 ModName: msvcrt.dll
ModVer: 7.0.2600.2180 Offset: 00030ac4
Regards,

Did you try to open the same report on any other machine? If there problem also on other machine. Then sometime RDF file gets crash due to improper close or any other reason. Then maybe you can not open it.
Or if you can open that same report on anyother machine then try to reinstall the developer again.

Why can't the Accordian widget's drop down box span full width in mobile layout?

I'm trying to create a simple drop down navigation for mobile. When the entire header is clicked, it expands down to reveal a dynamic vertical menu, which will cover the page content below, not push it down.
I've taken an accordian widget and added a vertical navigation widget (to allow dynamic navigation) into the expanded area. When I preview it, the drop down box of the accordian widget doesn't span the full width of the site width (380px). It stops 5-10px short of the right edge, which is a small detail, but it annoys me, and is not how I have it set up in design view. There is no other content on the page, just this element. When I have elements extend off the page area, it somehow affects the amount of space the drop down area stops short from and adds more. Strange again. Kind of stumped as to if/how I can fix this.
Screenshot attached.

The code taht you have shown is not the template, it is a document that has been created from a template and renamed with a dwt extension.
If you load the document into DW then go to menu item Modify->Templates->Detach from Template and save the file, you will have your original template called index.dwt and located in the Templates subdirectory.

How to change the width of the whole portlet layout?

Dear all,
As we know, now the width of portlet layout has set to 100%. But there is a new requirment from my customer that the width of the whole portlet layout view must be set to 750px.
So I tried to edit the css file and I found a block:
#pt-portal-content-view
     margin-top: 0px;
     width: 100%;
I tried to change the width to 750px, but nothing happened.
I want to know the way to change the width, thank you all!
Regards,
finall
OK,I have found the place to do it:
.portalContent          {
     display: block;
     width: 750px;
I set to 750px,then it works.:-)
But another question, how to make the content align to the center? I tried a stupid method, add margin-left:
.portalContent          {
     display: block;
     width: 750px;
     margin-left: 120px;
In 1024 X 768, it's ok, but it don't work well in 800 X 600.
When I set the all content width to 750px, I tried the three columns view, the portlet still run over the border.If there is any way to control this? thank u in advance!
Regards,
finall
Edited by finall1980 at 02/01/2007 10:09 PM

Try this:
.portalContent {
display: block;
width: 750px;
margin: auto; /* for properly-implemented browsers */
text-align: center; /* for IE 6 */
As for running over the 750px, there's nothing you can do about that other than actually narrowing the columns AND making sure that your portlet authors don't produce content that's too wide.

One data model - different user-defined layouts

I want to develop a report where the user can change
the layout model herself/himself, but can not change the
data model.
The best would be:
Generating a XML-File with Report Runtime and
having an XSL-Stylesheet example report for the
XML-File.
The user should get an "easy to use" tool to
change the given xsl-stylesheet report example (perhaps
possible with MS(C) Word ?)
Has anyone experiences or ideas?
[email protected]

I suggest you make a standard report and let you user make use of runtime customize feature to alter report layout properties. In this case you can not change the layout completely but can do some customization for each user with the same report.
Thanks

Need to reduce overall width of SEM-BPS layout.

Hi,
I've a layout that gets wider and wider if user selected many vaules for the variable and I need to reduce the overall width of the layout.
In the layout,
characteristic COUNTRY defined in the lead columns.
characteriatic CALMONTH is defined in the data columns as dynamic.
layout contains keyfigures "Cost" and "REV".
So, in the layout builder definition
1st row in the data columns is with "Cost" in keyfigure column and variable VAR_MTH in CALMONTH column.
2nd row in the data columns is with "REV" in keyfigure column and variable VAR_MTH in CALMONTH column.
If variable VAR_MTH is selected with Jan 2004 - Mar 2004 for CALMONTH, layout is as follows.
COUNTRY || Jan2004 Cost || Feb2004 Cost || Mar 204 Cost || Jan2004 REV || Feb2004 REV || Mar 2004 REV ||
Here it is what am looking ..
insert a row on top of header row and put "Cost & REV" texts in the new row and the header row will contain only months as follows
========||==========COST============||=============REV===========||
COUNTRY || Jan2004 || Feb2004 || Mar 204 || Jan2004 || Feb2004 || Mar ||
in top row, 3 cells are merged and merged cells will have COST. right below these cells, months are displayed in the header row. Similarly for REV.
There is no problem if user always selects 3 month range.
But, in our case user has to have flexibility to select as many months as he want which makes it difficult.
I'm thinking of exploring macro options.
But, I appreciate if you can share your earlier experiences if any or any suggestions.
