Controlling the widht of a report

Is there a way to control the widht of a report? I have a report that has plenty of columns and they are all getting cramped up in a specific widht. I'd like to extend that widht for the report so it doesn't look so tight?
I am using Theme 13 (Blue Gray) and APEX 3.0.1.00.07.
Cheers,
Andy

How To Control the Langauge of BI Reports (Using Excel 2013, oData, and Project Server Online 2013)

Although I buried and posted the following question indirectly in a recent post, I would like to do so here to try and elevate it in the hope that I can get an answer.
It is in regards to creating reports using Excel 2103 to querry Project Server 2013 Online using oData. I would like to be able to control the langauge of my reports that I create for others to view.
Just creating and then saving the Report and Data Connections in a language directory does not seem to drive or determine the language of the report. A colleague of mine over here is using the same directories as I am, and his turn
out to be French like his environment. Mine, even though I save the files in same the French directories, display in English.
Any ideas on how I can create reports so that they display in another language, eg., French when using Excel to create reports? I know that we can set the language in an internet browser to control the language that the result is returned, for instance,
when querying https://.../pwa/_api/ProjectData/$metadata

Correction! Thanks to Doug Welsby of Microsoft and some our other MS friends who worked behind the scenes to correct/ assist me on this, I got the right answer after all... the difference between, example a French oData command/ statement,
and an English one is the inclusion of the square brackets with the language abbreviation/ code e.g., "[Fr..]" in the oData connection string/ statement. For further reference, see the connection files provided by Microsoft in the Reports and
compare the syntax for the same report/ different language. There is where you will see what and how Excel is able to differentiate/ control what language that the report result will return.

Volume control sometimes gets stuck controlling the wrong volume - bug report?

Occasionally the volume control hard buttons on my Pre go wonky and "stick" to controlling an application as opposed to what they are supposed to. For example, I'll use the music player, and it will function fine and show the musical note when adjusting the volume. Then I'll toss away the music player app, but the volume will "stick" with the musical note and not control the system and ringer sound volumes.
This feels like a bug, but I might be missing something. Thanks!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Don't think your missing anything. Its a bug, I have encountered a few times. Seems like most the time, it has happened to me if I immediately try to change the volume after tossing a card away such as music player, or video. But have had it happen a few times without any explanation. Restarting it fixes it, and luckily it does not happen that often for me. Just wanted to chime in to say its not just you though.

Controlling the HTML added by Oracle Reports

Hi,
I'm having a problem with the HTML being added to the output of my report when it is run on the web. Oracle Reports seems to add all these table tags and a buch of other HTML tags that are not really needed. The tags do not affect the output of the HTML, but it does affect the way the output is saved if you do a save as into a text field. I have done some test and found if I can get Oracle reports from adding all that extra junk that is not needed, the report would run great.
So the main question here is how can I control the HTML tags Oracle Reports adds when it creates HTML output.
Thanks,
Tom

Jimmy,
I canâ tell you which product is better in your situation. HTML DB is used to develop applications, so reporting is just one of many features. But based on what you want to create, HTML DB would be a suitable tool for this task. You can create reports, link to those reports, link from report rows to other pages. Let users specify a number of parameters that can be used in the where-clause of your queries, etc. There are limitations of course, especially if you have some advanced printing needs. But since you already have licenses for all Oracle products, Iâd suggest you give it a try and see if HTML DB meets your needs.

[Forum FAQ] How to use parameter to control the Expand/Collapse drill-down options in SSRS report?

In SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), drill-down is an action we can apply to any report item to hide and show other report items. They all are ways that we can organize and display data to help our users understand our report better. In this article,
we are talking about how to use parameter to control the Expand/Collapse drill-down options in SSRS report.
Consider that the report has a dataset (dsSales) with following fields: SalesTerritoryGroup, SalesTerritoryCountry, CalendarYear, SalesAmount.
1. The report has the following group settings:
Parent Group: SalesTerritoryGroup
Child Group: SalesTerritoryCountry
  Child Group: CalendarYear
   Details: SalesAmount
2. Add three parameters in the report:
GroupExpand:
Available Values: “Specify values”
Label: Yes           Value: Yes
Label: No            Value: No
Default Values: “Specify values”
Value: Yes
CountryExpand:
Available Values: “Specify values”
Label: Yes           Value: =IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="No",Nothing,"Yes")
Label: No            Value: No
Default Values: “Specify values”
Value: =IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="No","No","Yes")
YearExpand:
Available Values: “Specify values”
Label: Yes
Value: =IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="No" or Parameters!CountryExpand.Value="No",Nothing,"Yes")
Label: No            Value: No
Default Values: “Specify values”
Value: =IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="No" or Parameters!CountryExpand.Value="No","No","Yes")
3. Right click SalesTerritoryCountry icon in the Row Groups dialog box, select Group Properties.
4. Click Visibility in the left pane. Select “Show or hide based on an expression” and type with following expression:
=IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="Yes", False, True)
Select “Display can be toggled by this report item” option, and select “SalesTerritoryGroup” in the drop down list.
5. Use the same method setting CalendarYear, (Details) drill-down with following expression:
=IIF(Parameters!CountryExpand.Value="Yes", False, True)
=IIF(Parameters!YearExpand.Value="Yes", False, True)
6. Click SalesTerritoryGroup text box in the tablix. Select InitialToggleState property in the Properties dialog box, and type following expression:
=IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="Yes", True, False)
7. Use the same method setting SalesTerritoryCountry, CalendarYear text box with following expression:
=IIF(Parameters!CountryExpand.Value="Yes", True, False)
=IIF(Parameters!YearExpand.Value="Yes", True, False)
After that, when we preview the report, we can use these three parameters to expand/collapse drill-down.
Note:
In our test, we may meet following issue. We can check the expression of InitialToggleState property to troubleshooting the issue.

Control the *GO* button in interactive report

How to control the GO button in interactive report using dynamic action?
i have to press the GO button automatically using dynamic action when page item get focused.
Is it possible?
thanks and regard,
skud.

Hi skud,
Your dynamic action can capture the "Get Focus" event of your page item and then you could try creating a true action to submit the page with a specific request. Create a branch to a URL with the condition of request being equal to the one you specified before, and as target select URL and make use of the filtering of an IR by URL when linking. This is just an idea, hope you can get the result you need.

How To control the cutting edge of a wide report

Hi All;
I have a wide report with 3 panels horizontal per page, i.e. i have 3 physical pages
for each logical page.
Is there a way to control the cutting edge between page 1&2 and between page 2&3 so that it comes at a specified position to avoid data cutting ?
Regards

In general, you can just execute the transaction and then at the selection screen go:
System->Status
It will show the program name and you can just double click on it to see the source code.

Specifically controlling the width of a table in an HTML report

I am generating an HTML report that consists of several detail tables
followed by a summary table at the end. Each detail table is
generated within a for loop. The summary table is generated
separately at the end. The detail tables all have the same column
width and same number of columns. However, I cannot get the summary
table to have the same column width even though it has the same number
of columns and the same column width setting.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi,
What VI are you using to create the tables using the for loop? What VI (Append Table to Report.vi?) are you using to create the table at the end?
If you are using the Append Table to Report.vi to create the tables in the for loop, can you change the width of the columns and see expected behavior?
Let me know, and I should be able to help you out further.

Controlling the page of an SQL report region

I have an SQL report region containing 70 rows. It shows the status of a bidding process that takes place in sequence, from the guy in the first row to the guy in the last. I use a "red light/green light" technique in each row to show who is currently eligible.
Typically users will login and then hit the next button to get to where the action is once the first 15 folks are done (number of rows = 15). Is there some way to set which set of rows first appears?
I looked at the URLs. When I first logged in I got:
http://htmldb.ciscoinc.com/bill/f?p=173:3:15341208186623218430::NO:::
After clicking "Next" I got:
http://htmldb.ciscoinc.com/bill/f?p=173:3:15341208186623218430:pg_R_4821423314714801953:NO&pg_min_row=16&pg_max_rows=15&pg_rows_fetched=15
How do I come up with:
pg_R_4821423314714801953 ?
Any thoughts? Thanks.
Bill

Bill,
I would suggest using a dynamic query thatâs referencing a page item to limit the result set so that the correct records are shown when the user branches to the report page. Manually modifying the pagination URL is not supported. The URL contains the internal region ID, and is setting some internal pagination variables. The internal workings of report pagination could change in future versions of HTML DB, so manually manipulating those values could cause your report to break duing a future upgrade.

How to Restrict the users from changing the Default variant of report.

Hello everybody,
The requirement is to restrict the users to save and overwrite the default layout variant (Layout for higher managenet)set for the report, but at the same time they should be able to change and save the other layouts for which they are having access.
I have written the logic in the program which is working fine for all the scenario when we execute the report. But the logic doesnt work if the user is selecting the layout on the output screen of the report.
for e.g if the user runs the report using the layout varaint for which he is having the authorization then he gets the all 4 options so he then he can select the layout for which he is not authorized and he can overwrite.
i have debugged and check as i have found that after the report output is shown all the layout paramater is controllled by the statndard SAP objects.
Can anyone help me out in this issue.
Thankyou in advance.
*to get the default layout variant.
w_save = 'A'.
if p_vari is initial.
    clear disvariant.
    disvariant-report = sy-repid.
    w_variant = disvariant.
    call function 'REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET'
      exporting
        i_save     = w_save
      changing
        cs_variant = w_variant
      exceptions
        not_found = 2.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
      p_vari = w_variant-variant.
    endif.
endif.
*logic to check user authorization to change the layout setting.
if p_vari = c_layout.
    if not sy-uname is initial.
      select single * from agr_users
              where agr_name = c_role
              and   uname    = sy-uname.
      if sy-subrc = 0.
        w_save = 'A'.
      else.
        w_save = ' '.
      endif.
    endif.
endif.
Regards,
Satish.

Hi Maine,
Thanks for your reply.
As you mentioned for your own program, you can control the parameter "I_SAVE", when calling "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY".
so already i have use the same logic and control the parameter through I_SAVE and here i am calling method ALV_GRID->SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY instead of "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY".
and it works fine when we execute the report but the logic doesnt work when the user tries to change and save the layout variant on the output screen of the report.

Is it possible to refresh the home page or report page automatically?

Hi.
I'm develping EM plugin with EM 11 extensibility.
Is it possible to auto refresh the home page or report page?
It contains the view data(real time 30 sec page..) select list combo at the matric detail page.
and it is displayed on the right of the top at the database main page
Thanks,
wonjo.
Edited by: wonjo on Oct 5, 2010 10:49 PM

Also, there are enhancements in progress to the extensibility framework which will, in future versions of EM, allow this type of control over chart/table refresh for plugins.

Can I dynamically control the position of objects on a printed page?

Forum:
Oracle Developer Reports Builder (10g)
I have a need to control the position of printing on a peel off label in my report. I currently am forced to represent a complex object three times , i.e. LEFT, RIGHT and CENTER, printing whichever is configured in the PRINTER_INFO table of my schema. I am printing to over 200 printers and they all print the location differently.
Also, since printing through the DESTYPE=PRINTER ,vs printing from a displayed PDF have different results, I would have to refresent these three objects yet again, sligh lower and to the right to support label printing from a PDF.
I have seen where Word Macro can dynamically position this same object by using xy coordinates.
Does anyone know how to do something like this in Oracle Reports.
Thx in advance,
Gary
[email protected]

Dora,
Yes, that is exactly what I am doing. As I mentioned, the label object has many elements and they all sit on top of each other when doing the layout. This by itself is messy to work with.
This has been workable so far with regard to generating output to the several hundred printers of different models and firmware.
The output is rarely if ever centered in both x & y axis. We have only been able to use in production by relaxing the rules so that the text only need be within the boundaries of the label.
I also found that to support printing from the PDF view that the text positioning is well out of the label boundaries. I would be forced to create an additional three complex objects in the 'Y' axis. Needless to say this is quite messy.
I do appreciate your input, but your recommendation does not meet the requirements of my project.
I don't believe that Oracle Reports can do this task. I am thinking that BI Publisher can, and am doing "due diligence" before recommending a new reporting platform.
Thx again.
Gary
