Can interactive report size be controlled?

I have an interactive report. I know the region size grows based on the number of rows I asked to display. However, what I really want is to set the region size and instead of it growing if they ask for lots of rows I would like to have a scroll bar appear so that the report height remains constant. I don't like having them have to navigate using the Apex navigation because it is easier to just drag the scroll bar up or down as desired.

Can interactive report have 2 "special" columns?

I have an interactive report on which I have placed a column for redirecting to a detail form. But I want to, also, put a column that will contain a button which will perform an action (update 2 columns in db). This way if the user wants to close the entry on the db they can click this button without having to go to the detail screen. So, they can go to the detail screen and close the entry or they can just click on the button to close the entry. I would love to have it be done with a right-mouse click menu but I suspect that is too much to ask which is why I thought the button might be ok.

I took a different approach but this might work for you...
On the interactive report, defined column1 as 'CheckBox' using this syntax:
Select APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,c.s_id) "s_id_checkbox", column2, column3 etc. from my table - Note: APEX_item.CHECKBOX can create the checkbox as 1st item on the IR report
once the item is defined, set the item header in the 'Report Attributes' tab to: <input type="checkbox" onclick="$f_CheckFirstColumn(this)" title="Select"/> and column type: Standard Report column - This will give the each row of the IR check/uncheck facility for the user. Make sure when you run the IR in developer mode, to 'Select' the newly defined 'checkbox' column in the 'Actions' menu and Save the report as 'Public' report. Also, move the newly-defined 'check-box' column as 1st column to display on the IR.
Introduce a button Item on the IR Page, that will submit a page process. Write your PLSQL procedure or DML calls in this page process, for performing your database operation on your list of 'checked items'
Page Process upon button submit: Code Example only. You may need to implement as per your reqs.DECLARE
v_request VARCHAR2(100) := v('REQUEST');
v_count pls_integer;
v_selected_item_id pls_integer;
BEGIN
:P1_PROCESS_MSG := NULL; --This should be set the page processes 'success' and 'error' message properties to &P1_PROCESS_MSG. (Define new item P1_PROCESS_MSG on your page of IR)
IF v_request = 'YOUR_BUTTONS_REQUEST_NAME' THEN
--//Process each user selection via the PLSQL page process api call
FOR i in 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP
v_count := v_count+1;
BEGIN
v_selected_item_id := APEX_APPLICATION.G_F02(i);
--// CALL_YOUR_PLSQL_PACKAGE or Custom DML BY PASSING THE USER SELECTED RECORD_ID TO PERFORM YOUR DATABASE DML and by using the 'v_selected_item_id' as a parameter or DML condition to perform your database DML action.
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
:P1_PROCESS_MSG := SQLERRM;
END;
END LOOP;
END IF;
EXCEPTION HANDLER..
:P1_PROCESS_MSG := SQLERRM;
END;
Usage:
User runs the IR, checks on the records he/she wants to do the 'close' then clicks on the new button that does the 'multiple-close' for the records of choice. He/she can select just-1-row and do the same dml operation by clicking on a button that you defined on this IR Report's page.
Also, if the above approach is not viable, you can create a 'f?p...' column link on your IR's main query to submit the page upon user-click. But, I've seen the above approach lot more liked by users.

Control Breaks in Interactive Report Throw off HTML Header Style

I created an APEX 4.0.0.11.23 page with an interactive report. Several columns are character strings with embedded spaces. At first, when the columns displayed they were wrapped around to as many lines as there were spaces. so I formatted it with this HTML header style:
$('td[headers="ADDRESS"]').attr("style","white-space:nowrap");
This corrected the problem but then the user requested two breaks on Column_A and Column_B. This threw the formatting off so I corrected it with this HTML header style:
$('td[headers="ADDRESS BREAK_COLUMN_A_COLUMN_B_2"]').attr("style","white-space:nowrap");
Now the lines wrap for some but not for all rows and there does not seem to be any pattern. So for instance the address for one particular row will look display in the desired format as:
530 EAST 144TH STREET
And another almost identical row will display as:
525 EAST 143RD
STREET
I thought there may be binary data in the column so I embedded the following code in the main SELECT query that drives the page”
Regexp_Replace(ADDRESS, '[^[:print:]]')
This did not help. How do I implement HTML header styles for interactive reports with multiple control breaks so that the address is formatted properly for every line? Is there a related report or page attribute that needs to be set?
BTW, the way I discovered the HTML header style for interactive reports with multiple control breaks by following this link which was provided in a related thread:

Pagination error when filtering in an Interactive Report

Hi All,
I'm getting a pagination error, when filtering from the column header in an Interactive Report.
Report error:
Invalid set of rows requested, the source data of the report has been modified.*
Reset Pagination*
The steps to recreate:
1. Run an Interactive Report
2. Click the next button to go to the second page of data.
3. From the column header select a data element that will return less than 15 rows. Note -- if the there are 15 or more rows of data, the error will not occur.
The Report will fail with the error shown above.
It looks like the pagination needs to be reset after the column filter, but how is this done?
I'm using the canned interactive report with no customizations. Is there a fix for this issue?
Thanks

This «bug» is known for a long time unfortunately...
I never find any solution for IR report filtering.
Maybe you can use some JQuery to change the link when clicking a value in the list, (add a code that will update pagination).
Something like :
$('#apexir_rollover_content').load(function() {
$(this).find('a').click(function(){
gReport.search('SEARCH');
});But I don't think it will work, as they already use JQuery to bind that <a> events.
In case you update your report using a button, you can simply use a "reset pagination" process called on button click.
In case you use column link you simply have to tick the «Reset Pagination» checkbox.
I hope Apex team will fix that one day.
Good luck.
Yann.

Control on Interactive Report Data displaying

Hi All,
We are using APEX 4.0.
Here are the few things that I am trying to accomplish -
I have created a few interactive reports in different tabs. Each report takes 4 parameters from the screen, and the values get to carry to the next report.
1. When users first come in to the tab, I don't want the report to be displayed until the SUBMIT button is clicked.
Currently, we have created an item (dis_flag) and use 1 or 0 to control the display. But, the page always get requery after the users browsing to other tabs and come back. Any other methods that you can advise?
2. Once the submit button is clickeded, the data should be kept on this page even after the users browsing around the application. No data should be change, until the SUBMIT button is been clicked again. Any ideas on this one?
The reason that we don't want the report to be displayed first is because the data is huge, and if this is running at the first, some users maybe thinking that something is wrong on the page. That's why we want them to click on submit, so, they know they need to wait. Also, since the report can be huge, we don't want this to be re-query again and again while users are browsing around the application.
Thank you for any advises that you can give!

rephase the question

1 . Put a condition on the interactive report to stop it running when you first display the page - I think you have done this already.
2. Enable caching for that page (go to the Server Cache tab on Edit Page) - this will also need a condition so that you can actually refresh the report when you need to.
This should make the browser use the cached version of the report (i.e. the one you ran originally) until you tell it not to.

Interactive report with control break displays no data, until control break is unchecked

Hello,
I have an interactive report that is base upon a collection. When one first access the page the report shows no data(no errors are given) and the control break box is red. Once the control break box is unchecked, all the data is shown. Furthermore, navigating to another page causes the same issue.
Any idea into how I can solve this issue will be appreciated.
Thank you,

Vincent,
The aggregates are applied to each control break group, or, if you don't have any, then they're applied to the full report. So, in your case the "count" (= count of non-null values for a column, same as in SQL) should mean there is 1 non-null value in each group.
Does that description match what you're seeing?

Interactive Report: how can I display carriage returns?

Hello everybody.
Here is my problem: I created a table containing a field COMMENT varchar2(4000) and using APEX 4.1 I built an interactive report on it.
Users can fill the field COMMENT with sentences on different rows, ex:
" this is the first line
this is the second line
this is the third line"
This is correctly managed in the FORM, where I defined the field COMMENT as 'Text Area', but in the REPORT I wasn't able to set it in a way which permits to see it whit the carriage returns: the content is displayed on one row only : "this is the first linethis is the second linethis is the third line".
I tried and set all the possible field types, but I found no ways to display the content exactly as it is (with carriage returns).
Obviously I cannot use HTML
, since I cannot ask users to digit it when inserting their text.
Could someone suggest me how to reach this result? In need to use the interactive report because the searching/filtering tool is fundamental.
Thanks in advance,
Daniele

Put this in the page HTML Header, replacing the <tt>T_EMP_NAME</tt> etc selectors with the actual <tt>id</tt> attributes of your column headers:
<style type="text/css">
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td[headers="T_EMP_NAME"] {
white-space: pre;

Control break on column displayed as link in Interactive Report

Hi,
If someone can help me, i'd greatly appreciate it!
I created an interactive report - one of the columns has a link attached to url specified in the Report Attributes/ link section.
When I use the control break feature in the gear icon, the report seems to be grouped by the url/link and not by the actual column value.
When I remove the link from the column - all is fine and the break does work.
This column must get displayed as a link. Is there any workaround for this problem?
Thanks,

Hi,
I don't know the details of the procedure, but you would have something like:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "print_model_change"
v_acctnum NUMBER,
v_model VARCHAR2,
v_rrcode NUMBER
AS
BEGIN
.. DO SOMETHING WITH v_acctnum, v_model, v_rrcode
END;This needs to be updated to something like:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "print_model_change"
v_manager_model NUMBER
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
    v_acctnum NUMBER;
    v_model VARCHAR2;
    v_rrcode NUMBER;
BEGIN
    SELECT ACCTNUM, MODEL, RRCODE
    INTO v_acctnum, v_model, v_rrcode
    FROM .. your report's FROM statement plus ..
    WHERE MANAGER_MODEL = v_manager_model;
    .. DO SOMETHING WITH v_acctnum, v_model, v_rrcode
END;
END;and followed by:
GRANT EXECUTE ON "print_model_change" TO PUBLICto make it available
The existing code receives all the data it would need (presumably). The updated code receives the manager_model value and, using the same FROM clause that you have for your report PLUS a WHERE clause (or, if you are using a WHERE clause in your report, change this to AND), finds the data that it needs for v_acctnum etc. After it has that data, the rest of the existing code can be used unchanged.

How can I select 2 options in Interactive reports

Hi Friends
I have a doubt about Interactive reports/ ALV interactive reports. Is there any option to select multiple selections in interactive reports. If I am displaying in a screen CustNo, Name, Country.
I want to see order details of that customer in another screen using AT Line-Selection. Can I select multiple customer nos at a time and also can I see those order details whom I selected over in first list.
Please send me reply ASAP if there is any option with suitable example.
Thanks
Praveen.

Check out this sample. It uses two ALV grids. On the first one you can do multiple selection, hit the continue buttons and it will throw another ALV with those material/plant records. Implement the following program. Create screen 100 and 200. One each screen create a custom container called ALV_CONTAINER(screen 100) and ALV_CONTAINER2(screen 200). Create the gui status for both. Don't forget to create a "CONTINUE" button on the gui-status 100.

How can i Auto Size the Column width in RDLC Report

Hi Friend's,
I have created Windows application with RDLC Report. I am binding(Generating) dynamic columns and data's in RDLC Report Using Matrix control, I need to make Auto size of Column width for each Column in
Matrix of RDLC report. So Can any one suggest me to make the Auto Size of Column Width in RDLC.
Thanks in Advance,
Mohan G

Hi Mohan,
In Reporting Services, the column width/height is hard-coded, hence, we cannot set the column width/height dynamically or based on an expression. So is the report size.
In addition, since it is a RDLC report, we need a ReportViewer control to display this report within a custom application. If you need to change the size of the whole report, we can set the AsyncRendering property of the ReportViewer control to false, and
set the SizeToReportContent property to true.

Interactive Reports using collections - How to control column headings

Hi,
I found a link in the forum somewhere that showed a step by step how to to use collections with Interactive Reports so you can dynamically build the SQL and also control the column headings. Does anyone know where the How-To is ??
If not, I know how to build the SQL dynamically but what is the best way to control the column headings.
Sometimes the report will have 17 columns and other times up to 30 columns.
Thank you, Bill

Hi Bill,
Without knowing more about the PL/SQL code, the underlying tables and the select statements used, it is difficult to say.
I would firstly check that I had indexes on the right column or combination of columns. One minute sounds a lot for a query to me, but that may be ok if the tables are very large and the PL/SQL has to do a fair bit to construct the output. You could also do an Explain Plan for any query to check to see if indexes are being used if they exist - this would also show up any part of a query that takes an inordinate amount of time.
I assume that the PL/SQL is only run once even if the page is reloaded multiple times? However, once the collection has been created, the report itself should be fairly quick as it should be just a simple select over the collection data. Switching on the debug mode should help identify which part is taking the time.

Control Break appearance in Interactive Report

Hi guys,
I'm using a control break on 3 columns in my report, but when doing this Apex shows the columns comma-separated, like:
Column A: value, Column B: value, Column C: value
But I would like it to look like:
Column A: value
Column B: value
Column C: value
Is there any way of achieving this?
I am currently working with the test environment Oracle supplied us, because we are testing if we can use APEX at our company.
The version is Application Express 4.2.2.00.11 and it's running on Oracle 11g. Im using Firefox but it's just the same in IE.
Just ask if you need any more info.
Thanks for the answers!
