Create Filter on an Interactive Report in a Link

Hello,
Here is info on my environment:
Database: 10.2.0.1.0
O/S: Windows XP
APEX: v3.2.1
I am trying to use the IR<operator>_<target column alias> feature to filter the linked Interactive Report. The feature does not seem to work. Does this feature work on a 10g database?
Background:
I am building the application (AnyCo Corp) described in the _2 Day + Application Express Developer’s Guide_ . On page 4-27 the section titled "_Linking a Column Value to Another Page_" describes linking from the Department report to the Employee report with the Column Link item IR_DEPARTMENT_ID. The link did not work, however.
The included APEX Users Guide discusses this feature. The path to the relevant section is: Home > Adding Application Components > Creating Reports > Editing Interactive Reports > Linking to Interactive Reports. The Guide describes the string IR<operator>_<target column alias> with lots of operators.
This is a neat feature. Unfortunately, no matter how I try to use it, it does not work. What am I doing wrong?
Leon

Getting active filter conditions from interactive reports

I have been having trouble with how to properly get the filter conditions that a user has applied to an interactive report. I have tried to get at this information using the Apex defined view APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_COND. However, the problem I am running into is if the user ends their session without first removing their filter conditions, those conditions remain in this view the next time (and any future times) the report is accessed. I can not seem to determine how to tell which filter conditions are actually active in the report. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've done several tests, and the results I'm getting are not like that, if it were there would be no problem. The exact steps I'm doing is setting an arbitrary filter on an interactive report, and then logging out. When I log back in the view still shows those filter conditions, but no records are filtered on the actual report. I've tried this on two separate installations of apex (one 3.1, the other 3.2) and the results are the same. Is this irregular? Or has anyone else found a workaround for this.

Create data models using interactive reporting

Hey guys,
I was wondering how you create data models using interactive reporting. An simple example would be great? I would really appreciate if I could get an answer.
Also, I wanted to understand a real world situation that you guys might have faced with creating data models, etc...thanks a ton :-)
-- Adi

Your question is not that much clear on what you are asking for.
But for reference please have a look at the below doc which explain the Integration with IR and webanalysis what you require.

How to hide some column filter operators in Interactive Report

Hi,
I have an APEX 4.2 application what includes Interactive Report page.
Is there possibilty to hide or disable some filter operators in column filter?
But I don't want to disable all filter functionality for end users.
For example how to hide/disable operator "matches regular expression".
Some filter operators are too complicated for end users.
I have searhced but not found solution.
regards,
Erkki

I wouldn't really recommend this. Users will quickly recognise what works for them and avoid options that they do not currently understand. However, over time—through training or advice from more experienced users—they may come to understand and use all of the available features. Blocking access (especially in a non-standard way) to options that users may eventually need is likely to result in unnecessary development work now and at some (possibly inconvenient) time in the future.
That said, this really isn't difficult to implement using CSS. Use your browser web inspector to identify which filter types are to be blocked, using the value attribute of the filter Operator select list in the generated IR HTML. For example, in APEX 5.0 a filter operator select list looks like:
<select id="R70597672218719366505_STRING_OPT" class="a-IRR-operator" data-column-type="STRING" title="Operator" name="p_ignore_10" size="1">
<option value="=">=</option>
<option value="!=">!=</option>
<option value="is null">is null</option>
<option value="is not null">is not null</option>
<option value="like">like</option>
<option value="not like">not like</option>
<option value="in">in</option>
<option value="not in">not in</option>
<option value="contains">contains</option>
<option value="does not contain">does not contain</option>
<option value="regexp_like">matches regular expression</option>
</select>
The "matches regular expression" option has the value regexp_like, so the required CSS rule using the IR operator select list class and an attribute selector on the option value is:
.a-IRR-operator option[value="regexp_like"] {
display: none;
Additional selectors for other filter types can be added to this rule as required, for example:
.a-IRR-operator option[value="regexp_like"],
.a-IRR-operator option[value="is not null"] {
display: none;
to eliminate the "is not null" filter.
To implement this for all IRs in your application, create a custom CSS style sheet containing the rule, upload it to your workspace, and reference it in all of the page templates used for IR pages.
This is not a 100% foolproof solution. CSS is not an appropriate way to implement security restrictions. A web-savvy user could use their web inspector to disable the CSS rule and access the blocked filter(s). However there is little risk here as (1) it appears that your users will lack the required expertise; and (2) doing so will only allow them to further filter data they already have access to.

Apply OR clause in dynamic filter on an interactive report

Apex ver - 4.2
I have a requirement wherein I have to apply filter on interactive report. I have to apply filter which will change depending upon different conditions. So I created a PLSQL process on "On Load Before Region"
For e.g if condition is --- status = 'Open' and Approved = 'Yes'
I can write a PLSQL process with code as:
apex_util.ir_filter(p_page_id => 1, p_report_column=>'Status' p_operator_abbr=>'EQ', p_filter_value=>'Open');
apex_util.ir_filter(p_page_id => 1, p_report_column=>'Approved' p_operator_abbr=>'EQ', p_filter_value=>'Yes');
But these filters have AND logical operator
What can I code if I want OR condition i.e.
status = 'Open' OR Approved = 'Yes'

Remove Filter Type from interactive report

Hi
is it possible to remove the Filter Type option from an interactive report?
We don't want to give users the option to select the filter type.
Many thanks
Paul

Hi Paul,
I don't think you can remove that option. You can hide it. There are several ways to do this, but they would involve css styling. In your page's HTML Header setting, add in:
<style type="text/css">
label[for="apexir_FILTER_TYPE"] {display:none}
#apexir_FILTER_TYPE.radio_group {display:none}
</style>Note that older versions of IE will not handle the first style, but that's just the label. The actual radio buttons are hidden by the second style

How to create index/summary for Interactive Reporting report

Hello everybody,
Platform: Hyperion System 9.3.1.
Is it possible to automatically create the document index/summary in an Interactive Reporting report?
Any help will be very appreciated.
Thank you!
Daniela

I will take a bit of work.
You need to figure out how many records per page and how many pages your report may become then by doing a bit of math you can build the index on the Report Header/Footer

Retrieving sort and filter criteria for interactive report

I have developed a test management system in APEX. Users log in and see an interactive report with their assignments. Each test they've been assigned occupies one row.
There is an "Execute" link for each row that takes the user to the test execution page, where they can see the input steps / expected results and report the test passing or failing.
I've implemented "Next >" and "< Previous" buttons on the execution page, so the user can immediately go forwards or backwards in his assigned tests without having to return to the assignments page and click the Execute link on the next or previous row.
The test execution page figures out what the next and previous assigned test is using the LAG and LEAD functions, like this:
lag(assignment_id) over (order by ref_num_full) prev_id,
lead(assignment_id) over (order by ref_num_full) next_id
Notice that I've "hardcoded" the over clause to be the reference number of the test.
The problem here - this solution ignores any custom sorts or filters the user has put in place on the assignments (interactive) report.
Is there a way I can "grab" the interactive report (1) sort criteria and (2) filter criteria dynamically? I'm thinking I could then use dynamic SQL to build an OVER clause used in the lag/lead calls so that the application now follows whatever sort and/or filter criteria the user has put in place.
Any help is greatly appreciated...thanks!!

Thanks WTine!
I took a look and determined
- I can get the sort criteria from the APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT view (SORT_COLUMN_# and SORT_DIRECTION_# columns)
- I can get the filter criteria from the APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_COND view

Opening a specific Interactive report from a link

Hello,
I have a chart which links back to a page with interactive report. I want to make sure that every time user clicks on the link on the chart page, he is shown the default report view. But currently it shows the last viewed report from various saved reports. Is there a way I can call the default report. I tried RIR in clear cache section of the link but does not seem to take me back to default report.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Bhavesh

Have you looked at the actual Javascript that is called when an interactive report is reset? You might be able to use this in a region that is conditionally "displayed" when the page is called from the chart. Perhaps using the REQUEST as the condition.

Interactive Report with 2 Links

I have an interactive report that was built from application wizard when I import an excel spreadsheet.
The report has an edit link already that is working. The information for that link appears to be on the report attributes tab under the link column section. I need to add another link and found code on the forum which I will put below.
The problem is the new link column shows, but the button doesn't show, just all the code seen starting with the a href. So - is there a syntax problem that anyone can see? Any input is appreciated. Thanks -- Shelly.
SELECT CASE WHEN (:A_ROLE = 'MASTER') THEN
'<a href="'

|| '</a>'

and NVL(COUNTRY,'@') LIKE (:P10_COUNTRY || '%') escape '@'
and NVL(INITIALS,'@') LIKE (:P10_INITIALS || '%') escape '@'

Hi Shelly,
The post doesn't show the code that you have used, so I can not say if there is a syntax error.
However, you should first check, on Report Attributes, that the LINK column is showing as "Standard Report Column" instead of "Display as Text (escape special characters)"

How to use datafile as a filter in Web Interactive Reporting?

Hi, I've used a datafile in the Resultset filtering while using IRClient.I try to do the same thing in the HTML version, but it probablycannot find the datafile though I imported the file to the samedirectory in Workspace as the BQY. Is it possible to do at all? I'm using Hyperion System 9 BI+ 9.2.0.2 version. With best regards,mar

Hi Sandy,
You can't use virtual characteristic in the query since virtual characteristics are popultaed at query run time and in the cube it is simply 'BLANK'. So if you use any filter (except 'blank') on this characteristic then you are not going to get any records feteched from the cube itself.
Hope it helps,
thanks

2 Bugs found in V4 Interactive report Date filter

I've noticed a couple of bugs when trying to create filter in an interactive report on a date column.
1) There is no "=" operator available for dates
2) There is no Year navigator for the date picker. This is essential for Date of Birth columns. I have to click the previous month button 12 times for each year...thats 720 times to get to 1950 !
Paul P

Hi,
you could add new computation "Added This Week" (Format -> Compute), with Computation Expression:
case when sysdate- B < 7 then 'Y' else 'N' end
--B is my date column
Then you can add color highlight, with **Added This Week = Y
Additional you can even hide computed column (Action -> Select Columns)
You can check example on http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=60428:1

Clear Filter on Interactive Report

I created an application in Application Express 4.2.0.00.27. Four of the pages have interactive reports. I applied the filter to the report on page 46 to show only rows with LAST_NAME LIKE ‘%JONES%’ and the rows are filtered correctly. When I navigate to the calling page 12 and then back to page 46 the filter is still in effect. The clear cache on the calling page 12 is checked. Is there a property of the page or report which will clear the filter on page 46?

See Linking to Interactive Report in the documentation.
To reset an interactive report in a link, use the string "RIR" in the Clear-Cache section of a URL. This is equivalent to the end user choosing the Reset option from the interactive report actions menu on the target page. The report is returned to the default report settings specified by the developer or saved by the user.
