Column properties data format save option

Hello,
When I am in Answers, I choose a column, then I click on column propoerties (icon with a hand), data format tab, here I only have the save option when I am with the Administrator user. Is it possible to have this option with another user ? I have tested to create a user which belongs to the Administrator group, but I can't see this option.
Thanks in advance for your help;

hi
this is possible, by assigning the user to presentation server administrators group in the answers.
1. login with administrator and click on settings > administration
2. go to Manage Presentation Catalog Groups and Users
3. click on edit properties for existed Presentation server administrators group
4. Click on Add New Member
5. click Show users and Groups appears in the add member window (note: to appear that user in this list, you must login answers with that user at least once)
6. Click on add option provided corresponding to that user you wanted
7. Click Finished
Now you check with the other user login.. you will see the save option

  • InputDate Column Filter Date Format Problem

    Hi,
    I have an af:table with filterable columns and some of these columns are based on Timestamp VO attributes.
    When I enter a date filter - either manually or from the associated date picker, the filter is applied correctly using a date format of dd/MM/yyyy.
    However, when the table is subsequently refreshed, the filter value is still present but has been re-formatted to "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mi:ss" format (default format for a Timestamp datatype?). The an error appears in the column filter component - "Error: The date is not in the correct format".
    If I want to retain the filter value across queries, how can this be achieved?
    My table column is defined as follows:
    <af:column sortProperty="#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.name}"
                                                   filterable="true" sortable="true"
                                                   headerText="#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.label}"
                                                   id="c59"
                                                   rendered='#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.displayHint != "Hide"}'
                                                   displayIndex="#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.displayHeight}">
                                            <f:facet name="filter">
                                                <af:inputDate value="#{vs.filterCriteria.LastReadingDate}" id="id4">
                                                    <af:convertDateTime
                                                                        pattern="#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.format}"/>
                                                </af:inputDate>
                                            </f:facet>
                                            <af:outputText value="#{row.LastReadingDate}" id="ot59">
                                                <af:convertDateTime pattern="#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.format}"/>
                                            </af:outputText>
                                        </af:column>I've tried messing with the properties of the af:convertDateTime component, but I'm thinking the problem is in the population of the filter facet inputDate with the vs.filterCriteria.LastReadingDate value. This does not appear to be re-formatted for display - but I don't know how to manipulate this value...
    Or is there a better way? This seems more complicated than it should be...?
    By the way, I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2.1.0 for my development.
    Thanks.

    Does it work fine if you change the pattern for convertDateTime?
    I.e
    change
    <f:facet name="filter">
                                                <af:inputDate value="#{vs.filterCriteria.LastReadingDate}" id="id4">
                                                    <af:convertDateTime
                                                                        pattern="#{bindings.ViewDataVO1.hints.LastReadingDate.format}"/>
                                                </af:inputDate>
                                            </f:facet>to
    <f:facet name="filter">
                                                <af:inputDate value="#{vs.filterCriteria.LastReadingDate}" id="id4">
                                                    <af:convertDateTime
                                                                        pattern="dd/MM/yyyy"/>
                                                </af:inputDate>
                                            </f:facet>-Arun

  • Column in DATE format

    Hello Everybody
    I have a report did Apex, this report has a column which data type is DATE but by default the Apex put it in the format : DD-MM-YYYY HH:MI:SS
    But I only want that his column has the format DD/MM/YYYY
    I know that is posible convert this field using the function TO_CHAR(date, format) but in the report I want to sort this field considering that this filed is in date data type not in char.
    Also I know that I can use the function EXTRACT for concatening the day, month and year and after convert to date in the format 'dd/mm/yyyy'; but I don´t want to write many code.
    I don't want to do some like this:
    TO_DATE(
    EXTRACT( 'DAY' FROM DateFiled )||'/'|| EXTRACT( 'MONTH' FROM DateFiled )||'/'|| EXTRACT( 'YEAR' FROM DateFiled ), 'DD/MM/YYYY' )
    Do you know how to convert to this date format (DD/MM/YYYY) preserving the format?
    I expect your prompt reply.
    Any help will be very appreciated.
    Best Regards

    Hi Eric
    One of the really cool features of the later versions of APEX is the ability to set a default "Application Date Format".
    This is done in the Application xx>Shared Components>Definition then select the "Globalization" tab.
    You can select from a list of pre-defined date formats, or enter your own.
    My preference is "DD-Mon-YYYY" which is not in the list.
    Just leave your date fields as regular DATE type in the select (no formatting in the select).
    This Application Date Format is then used as the default for ALL dates for which you don't specifically set (another) date format
    This is also selecable in the Display options of a "Date Picker (Use Application Date Format)" LOV - for any date page items that you want to provide a date picker.
    This really simplifies the effort in getting a consistent look and feel - and keeping a constant standard throughout the application.
    The other benefit is that you can make a change in one place, and ALL the dates (without a specific date format specification) will change format - just like that.
    This is just one of the features that makes APEX the most productive - and cool - systems around.
    Enjoy!

  • NEED ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN FOR DATE FORMAT

    Need something like this :
    ALTER TABLE ABC
    ALTER COLUMN DATE1 AS (DD/MM/YYYY)
    need to appear in this format (29/03/2014) in the table.
    also needs to be recorded in DB in that format.

    changed system date format, works. Thanks!
    You should always store values as dates itself in date/datetime related field in SQLServer
    The formatting can very easily be done in your front end (presentation layer) using format function
    Even in T-SQL you can use CONVERT or FORMAT functions to get the date values in the format you want

    I don't follow you? Anyway, Olaf Helper's answer was the solution.
    SQL Server has a data type called DATETIME. To correctly query dates, it is easier to use this as it allows the SQL engine to do all the calculations for you, also the canonical format for dates in any database language is YYYY-MM-DD, this ensures correctly
    tiered dates that are stored in the right order. The way you store data and the way you display it should be kept as two seperate entities. This is the ISO standard and has been thoroughly investigated ...alot to say the least. This is where the term "front-end"
    and "back-end" developers come from, and also the distinction between server-side and client-side scripting.
    To cut a long story short, take the advice of the multiple professionals here, and follow standards otherwise you'll find yourself stuck, or worse, your legacy code will make someone tear their hair out.

  • XML Publisher - how to make column as date format in excel output

    how about next solution:
    60 * EXTRACT( HOUR FROM ATTENDANCES.A_ATT_TIME) + EXTRACT( MINUTE FROM ATTENDANCES.A_ATT_TIME)
    with this u have minutes for working day. If u divide this expression with 60:
    (60 * EXTRACT( HOUR FROM ATTENDANCES.A_ATT_TIME) + EXTRACT( MINUTE FROM ATTENDANCES.A_ATT_TIME)) / 60
    u now have hour with decimal (for 8:52 is (8*60+52)/60 = 8,67 )
    and u only need to round this number.I hope this help
    ps.when u have new question probably is good way to create new thread

  • Central control data format

    is it possible to have a central control of data format
    for example, all number data are with thousand separator and zero decimal place.
    if some columns have data format, user can customize it (like current way - set manually in column property)

    Hi.
    Yes, you can edit this in localedefinitions.xml whic is located in:
    ...OracleBI\web\config\localedefinitions.xml
    <--property name="decimalSeparator">.<--/property>
    <--property name="thousandsSeparator">,<--/property>
    or in Answers you can save in the column properties:
    as the system-wide default for this data type

  • Data Format on charts

    Is possible to get Decimal Places UP to x on chart properties data format?
    I can change this property on criteria column, but If I want to change Vertical Axis Labels, Data Labels...only can change decimal places from 1 to 6...but I would like to select UP to 2.
    Changing xml advanced code with minDigits=2 to minDigits=0 and maxDigits=2...doesn't work.
    Add an image: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/840/dibujoins.jpg/
    Any solution??
    Thanks!

    In a pie chart, the whole 'pie' represents 'all of the data graphed'. 
    In percent, that's "one hundred per cent", or "one hundred per hundred"
    As a fraction, the whole circle represents 100/100, or 1/1 or 1.00 — all of which mean "one whole thing".
    Smaller portions are written as fractions of the whole, with the 'whole' fixed at 100 (percent) or 1.00.
    So a 20 pence piece represents 20/100 of a pound, which is 20 percent of a pound, or may be written as a decimal as 0.20 pound.
    One pound is 1.00 pound, or 100% of a pound.
    A 10 pound note is 10.00 pounds, or 1000% of a pound.
    And getting into the range of values on your Chart 16, 455 pounds is 455.00 pounds, or 45500% of one pound, which, as you can see, is correctly represented on the chart.
    Here's a pair of charts, and the table that feeds them. Same data as in your example, but with the Y axis scale showing the raw data numbers on Chart 1, and the fraction of the total (1146) that each amount represents on the chart 2.
    Formatting the Y axis labels to show percent doesnt change the values. The numbers are multiplied by 100, and the % sign is attached to show that these are the number per hundred. For chart 1, where the current scale takes no account of the total, converting to percent doesn't make sense.
    For Chart 2, with the current scale, the four bars show (approximately) 0.2, 0.3, 0,4 and 0.1. Altogether, that's 0.2+0.3+0.4+0.1 = 1.0
    Converting Chart 2's Y axis values to percents changes the labels on the four non-zero lines to 10, 20, 30 and 40%. The four bars now show 20, 30, 40 and 10 percent. Add those up and you get 100% (which is always the total percentage of 'the whole thing'.

  • XML Publisher to Excel Report : Date format problem

    Hi,
    Did this post solve your problem? I have the same issue that I need to solve.
    I have an xsl-fo template with dates in it.
    The dates are in english.
    My excel is setup to use danish.
    When I export to excel it knows the month jan, feb, mar, apr, ... which are the same in danish and english.
    But months where it differs like may (danish maj) the cell is a general text instead of date.
    Is there anyway you can set/transform the date in the xsl-fo template so it does not care about the language in excel?
    Thank you in advance.

    Personnel Action Report is customised "ZHRPA" and Wage type report is also a customised one.
    Ameet, could you please let me know what exactly I am supposed to chekc in my parameters (SU3)? Should I ask the developer to check the report since this is a customised one?

  • Date format in Resultset

    Hi ,
    I have a resultset which fetches data from different tables. The tables include
    columns incolving DATE format. The resultset fetches the date column in the
    MM-DD-YYYY HH:MM:SS format. But I need the Date format should be in the
    DD-MM-YYYY format.
    The problem is the column of Date format is unknown. Is there any way to set this format for the Resultset or at the time of Connection.
    Thanks,
    Arun

    I'm not really sure what you mean, but you can change the date format in sql level:
    select to_char(sysdate,'DD-MM-YYYY') from dual
    or a better approach is to convert the java.sql.Date in Java.

  • What is data format "Hypertext Link" in column properties??

    Hi,
    What is data format "Hypertext Link" in column properties? How to use it?
    Can I use column value to navigate to other report without using "Value Interaction" in column properties.

    By changing the data format to say HTML, or Hypertext link, you can add HTML content/HTML tags within the column formula.
    You can create a column formula that would resolve into a dynamic hyperlink and pass parameters by using Go Url. Check out Chapter 11 in the Oracle® Business Intelligence Presentation Services Administration Guide
    Check out an example:
