Create tabular form with blank records

Hi,
I want to create a tabular form for INSERTing multiple records! However, I am having difficulty working out how to render the form as 'empty' i.e. no existing table records appear on the Form. I tried to adjust the query the form is based on so the 'automatic' query returns no records, but this caused the fields to 'disappear'. Can anyone recommend the best way to do this (if possible),
regards,
Kevin.

Hi Tyson,
I used the Advanced Dynamic Action wizard and at the point when I specify the Page Load event, a drop down list of conditions is available ( but does include NOT EXISTS ) so I kept the default 'No condition'. I associated the DA with the Event Source. Without editing the DA the form shown 10 blank rows in addition to 10 rows populated from the table. On subsequently editing the DA to add the NOT EXISTS condition you mentioned, the additional blank rows did not appear.
I had exactly the same behaviour when associating the DA with the 'Form' Region! Is the bottom line simply that I can't have a totally blank form if the table it is based on is not empty?
regards,
Kevin.

  • Error when creating tabular form with wizard Apex 4.01

    Hi,
    I just created a tabular form using the page creation wizard on a table and am showing 50 rows at a time and am getting error:
    mod_plsql: /pls/apex/wwv_flow.accept HTTP-400 Too many arguments passed in. Got 2225 parameters. Upper limit is 2000
    It doesn't matter how much data I put in --even just a couple rows updated.  I also reduced rows to 20 and still get same message.
    Anyone else seen this error?

    Hi Jari,
    It returns about 1100 records which i think is not much.
    But even when i narrow the amount of records the problem is not solved.
    it this a bug?

  • Trying to Create Tabular Form with apex_item... and apex_item.select_list

    I am trying to create a tabular form that uses multiple altec_item functions (select_list, select_list_from_LOV,...). Whenever I attempt to create a new page and select Tabular Form, I am forced to select a table and columns. So I have just selected any table and once the sql is created, I overwrite it with my own sql. When I try to apply the changes, I get an error anytime I use apex_item... for a particular column. I have tried the same creating a standard report with the same results. I have read at least 20 examples but none say where to start from when creating the tabular form and just jump right in to the code. Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
    Thanks,
    Jerryu

    You can start with creating a simple classic report. You can use apex_item functions in your query and later set your column attributes to "Standard Report Column". Basically, you are creating a updateable report.

  • How to build a tabular form with a by the user insertable primary key

    I have build a build a tabular form with the wizzard. Wat should I do to make the primary key insertable by the user.
    When I change the PK from 'hidden' to 'text field', I get a checksum error when i am trying to insert.

    Fred: When you use the tabular form wizard, notice the help text on the right hand side of each page. The help page where you define the type of primary key (Existing trigger, PL/SQL function, existing sequence) clearly states
    Tabular forms do not support user entered primary key values
    Makes sense when you think about it. The MRU process needs to determine whether to update a record or insert a new record. It does that by comparing the checksums (and/or) pk values from when the page was first rendered and then when you make changes and submit it. Newly inserted rows will have a blank PK/checksum.
    If you allow user to change the PK, how will the system know which rows are new and which ones are old?
    For example, lets say you have
    create table t
    pk int primary key,
    data varchar2(10)
    )You have 2 rows
    1 red
    2 yellow
    If the PK were to be editable, user could go in and change the above to
    2 red
    1 yellow
    Now what? Would you like the system to create a new row with 1/yellow or change the existing pk=1 row to yellow? Same with the other row.
    Bottom line: The built-in processes dont support this. You can always write your own manual tabular form and implement whatever you logic you wish in your After Submit processes.
    Hope this helps.

  • Add row not working when creating tabular form manually

    Hi friends,
    I am trying to create a manual tabular form( with the help of Denes's example). When adding a new row by clicking

    Hi,
    The blank row that you get from your second select statement would appear at the end of the report. Put that statement first and it should be at the top of the first page

  • Tabular form with non base table field

    I want to develop a tabular form with
    1. A non-base table edit field to accept a value
    2. Insert/update another table based on the input value
    3. Also, computed field on each row based on other fields on the records (like post-query trigger in oracle forms at block level - for each row)
    Thanks,
    Rachna

    Thanks for your reply.
    Varad, I like the link you sent me. It has a lot of good information.
    I created a process (under page processing) called "Update/Insert Process" that dosn't seem to be working.
    Question, I created a manual tabular form with SQL Query and created a process (under page processing) called "Update/Insert Process", then I check for each record in the tabular form. If the old value <> new value then I update/insert in the new table.
    Any step by step will be highly apprciated - to create process/validation etc.
    Thanks,

  • Select list in a manually created tabular form

    I created a select drop down item in a manually created tabular form. When I run the page, it also shows the null value '%'. How do I edit this?
    This is the line I am using in the SQL:
    htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(34,IN_PGRS_STAT_DSC,'select distinct STAT_DSC, STAT_DSC from PROJECT_STATUS_REF') IN_PGRS_STAT_DSC,

    And the select list doesn't work. It gives me an error message if I have the form to display one extra empty record and the select list. But even with the select list, if I don't include the extra row, it works properly.
    report error:
    ORA-06550: line 1, column 13:
    PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "COLLECT" when expecting one of the following:
    := . ( @ % ;
    ORA-06550: line 1, column 82:
    PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol ";" when expecting one of the following:
    . ( , % from
    What I also realized is that the drop down shows the value 7. But the table is empty with no records. I have no idea where this number 7 is coming from?

  • Tabular form with select list not updating

    I have created a tabular form with a dynamic select list
    select primary_key, column1,
    htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(10,column2, 'select descr d, column_value r from lookup_table where column_value = '||column1) column2
    from main_table
    The select list appears to work correctly but the new value is not saved to the database. I assume this is because the tabular form element display as field for column2 is set to "standard report column" but when I select any of the "display as text" or "LOV" options either the current data is not displayed or errors are generated.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Hi Ian,
    As you have seen, sorting on the project_manager_id column will sort by the id value rather than the textual value. This is, of course, because this is the value in the field.
    I haven't tried this out, but one thing that may work is the fact that you don't have to include the ORDER BY fields within the SELECT statement. You could, for example, do:
    select p.project_number, p.project_manager_id
    from projects p, users u
    where p.project_manager_id = u.id (+)
    order by u.name
    Obviously, you won't be able to do this in the existing statement as you would then be blocked from using column sorting. However, it implies that if you could construct the SQL statement dynamically, appending appropriate ORDER BY strings to the end of the base select statement, you could sort by anything you like. This does, of course, mean that you would have to create a mechanism to allow the user to select the sort order, generate the appropriate string and reconstruct the entire sql statement.
    I had had a similar request quite a while ago. The underlying reason for that request turned out to be that the user just wanted to quickly locate records relating to one person. In the end, we agreed that a search filter was the best thing to do.

  • Custom Tabular Form with working days by quarter

    Hi All, I'm trying to create an application to improve an old excel that some people use in my office. I came across a challenge: create a page when a user can submit for each business day the amount of hours worked, the real problem is that I have to show on the same page 40 business days that need to be dynamic, I mean that there is a "period" table that has a start date and end date, the range between those two MINUS the Saturdays and Sundays should be the amount of COLUMNS that the report show.
    create table CT_PERIOD(

  • Bug: 4.1.1 Tabular form with all columns conditional

    I need to make all the columns in a tabular form conditional because in some situations the editable elements should not be shown. For some reason just changing the columns to conditional stops the form working, the ApplyMRU/ApplyMRD process runs but does not action the changed rows. I can't figure out why at all or any workaround.
    You can easily reproduce this in 4.1.1 by creating a tabular form with the wizard selecting one column in the form. Then make the row selector colunn and your editable column conditional using the plsql expression 1=1. The form is displayed the just the same with these true conditions but it doesn't work. How weird is that?
    Rod West

    Rod,
    In your scenario the tabular form rendering engine is unable to place the hidden, internal tabular form status columns in your form, i.e. the columns that contain checksums, etc. The logic that places these columns looks for the last unconditional, visible column in your tabular form, and includes the hidden fields there. So you need at least one column that's always shown for this to work. This can be an otherwise empty column. I filed a bug (#13881803) for this, so we can look into improving this logic.

  • I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this?

    I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this? I have 4 blocks of Single Choice fields in order for the summary page to give me each day in the final report. But, I need the user to be able to make a selection of any day and time and that apointment to no longer be available to future users when they log in. Plus, when the user clicks on the time, they are unable to change their mind and choose another time. Here's the link if you want to see what I'm talking about: 2015-2016 Workload Apportionment Review

    I'm afraid not.    It's not rocket science but you need to do some coding. 
    You'll need to find a script (php) and save it to your local site folder.  Then reference the script in your form's action attribute like so.
         <form action="path/form-to-email-script.php" >
    The input fields in your HTML form need to exactly match the script variables. 
    I'm  assuming you're hosted on a Linux server which uses PHP code.  Linux servers are also case sensitive, so upper case names are not the same as lower case names.  It's usually best to use all lower case names in your form and script to avoid confusion.

  • Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line?

    Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line?  I can't find anything in the documentation or a template that does this.
    I am trying to create a "documents received" checklist with a check box on the left margin, a date-received field to the right of the check box and and a description of the document (Formatted Text) on the far right.
