Customizing Report Template in eLoad.

Hello,
I am using version 8.20.0526 and am looking to create custom reports in eLoad. Is there a way I can edit the templates to add in more information or create my own? I notice that there is a upload feature. Can I do it using that? What format does it need to be in and how can I grab the information from eLoad? Has anybody used this feature before?

...it is acctually to be found in the eLoad help (at least some of it)
you can find some usefull info here:
http://localhost:8088/eload/pages/help/how2_creating_report_templates.htm
(if you have eLoad installed on your local box)
some tags that can be usefull if you wana do this manually are:
<%out.write(session.getGraph('Statistics vs. Time'))%>
<%out.write(session.getGraph('Users vs. Time'))%>
<%out.write(session.getGraph('Errors vs. Users'))%>
...so you see...the tag stays the same...all you have to do is to change the name of the report query that you wana display.
in early builds of 8.20 there was a problem to use "custom" report queries... I am not sure what the current status is (it is at least solved in beta builds of 9.0)

Link in my customized Report Template doesn't work – Apex 3.1

I created a report template based on columns of my report
My query report is:
SELECT MEM_NAS ID, MEM_NOM NAME, MEM_DATE_NAIS BIRTH
FROM ACMT_MEMBRE;
My customized report template have this Row Template definition:
<tr onclick="redirect('f?p=&APP_ID.:6:&SESSION.:::6:P6_NAS:#ID#');">
<td #ALIGNMENT# class="t16data_edit">#NAME#</td>
<td #ALIGNMENT# class="t16data_edit">#BIRTH#</td>
</tr>
This would redirect to the page 6 when user click anywhere on a row but it doesn’t work.
I have this error message:
CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');">
I realized that problem is caused by #ID# because if I hardcode this ID, it works.
How can my report template get the “ID” from my query report ?

Is the report template definitely of type Named Column (row template) (defined on App Builder page 4000:4654) and not Generic Columns (column template) (defined on page 400:258)?
Note that the <tt>#ALIGNMENT#</tt> substitution string is not supported in named column templates. Set column alignment explicitly using HTML attributes in the template, or use CSS.
This would redirect to the page 6 when user click anywhere on a row but it doesn’t work.

{code}Where do you see this? It looks like there's a mismatch between the report columns returned by the query and those referenced in the report template. Or the data contains unsafe HTML characters that aren't being escaped.
Yes, my report query has a column called ID and it's set as Hidden. This could be the problem. In a report based on a named column template any columns referenced in the template must be +shown+ in the report, even if (as in this case) the column value is not visible to the user: the positioning of the <tt>#ID#</tt> column placeholder in the <tt>onclick</tt> attribute rather than in a table cell is what makes it "hidden". *The Show checkbox for the ID column must be checked.*
From the gobbledygook being generated it looks like there could be a row selector checkbox column in this report as well? Named column row templates must include substitution placeholders for every shown column. It's also advisable to keep the columns in the same order in the SQL, report column attributes and row template.
Something like
{code}
<tr onclick="redirect('f?p=&APP_ID.:6:&SESSION.:::6:P6_NAS:#ID#');">
<td class="t16data_edit">#CHECK$01#</td>
<td class="t16data_edit">#NAME#</td>
<td class="t16data_edit">#BIRTH#</td>
</tr>
{code}
I realized that problem is caused by #ID# because if I hardcode this ID, it works.
How can my report template get the “ID” from my query report ?If the above doesn't help then the easiest way to troubleshoot this would be for you to upload the app to apex.oracle.com and post guest developer credentials for the workspace so we can see the whole thing: template, SQL, and report attributes. Otherwise we're likely to and up with a lot of tedious to and fro here posting bits of code and attribute values.

Custom Report Template Issue

Hi,
I have a Custom Report Template, it is a Named Column(Row) Report that I have created. It seems I can get the look and feel I want on a per row basis. But when I try and convert it to be able to loop through for a specific type, like a break on the first column, it gets all messed up. I was wondering if someone might be able to shed some light for me on this I have tried everything
Here is the row template

Thanks for the input! Yeah it is based on a query from a collection as all this data is summations that i am pre-populating.
Yes this html is probably from 1998 or 1999 I think they told me actually lol
So there is no way to accomplish what I am trying to do then?
There is no way I could use a break on first column and modify the header info to get the same sort of look and feel?Still not really clear what you are trying to accomplish, and in my view there are so many problems with the "look and feel" that it's not worth perpetuating.
Making a lot of assumptions, I've come up with the kind of HTML structure I'd use when marking up this kind of data. I added a page 2 to your example on apex.oracle.com, showing a basic presentation of this structure alongside the original for comparison, and another styled using the default theme L&F.
<li>Given the requirement to use multi-level headers (and because I prefer to have total control over the HTML), I stayed with a custom report template rather than trying to utilise column breaking with a generic column report template. This also permits use of more advanced table structures than can be supported by standard templates, such as s<tt>colgroup</tt>s to organize the table columns as well as the rows:
Before Rows
<table cellpadding="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" #REPORT_ATTRIBUTES# id="report_#REGION_STATIC_ID#">
#TOP_PAGINATION#
<tr>
    <td>
      <table class="fish">
        <caption>Some fishy summaries</caption>
        <colgroup span="1"></colgroup>
        <colgroup span="4" class="evaluation-trips" align="right"></colgroup>
        <colgroup span="4" class="other-trips" align="right"></colgroup>
After Rows
      </table>
    </td>
</tr>
#PAGINATION#
</table><li>Rather than separate tables, the report is contained in one HTML table, utilizing the <tt>tbody</tt> element to subdivide this into separate row groups to meet the "break on first column" requirement. This is achieved using conditional row templates, with PL/SQL Expressions based on the values of metadata columns added to the query:
Row Template 1
Header rows and first data row for each row group. <tt>scope</tt> attributes are added to multi-column headers for improved accessibility:
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th colspan="9" scope="rowgroup">#C1#</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th></th>
      <th colspan="4" scope="colgroup">Evaluation Trips</th>
      <th colspan="4" scope="colgroup">All Other Trips</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th>#C2#</th>
      <th>#C4#</th>
      <th>#C5#</th>
      <th>#C6#</th>
      <th>#C7#</th>
      <th>#C4#</th>
      <th>#C5#</th>
      <th>#C6#</th>
      <th>#C7#</th>
    </tr>
    <tr class="#ALT#">
      <td class="desc">#C8#</td>
      <td>#C9#</td>
      <td>#C10#</td>
      <td>#C11#</td>
      <td>#C12#</td>
      <td>#C13#</td>
      <td>#C14#</td>
      <td>#C15#</td>
      <td>#C16#</td>
    </tr>
#CLOSE_ROW_GROUP#
Row Template 1 Expression
This template is used when the row metadata shows that the current row is in a different row group from the previous row:
#ROW_GROUP# != #PREVIOUS_ROW_GROUP#
Row Template 2
This is the "default" template, used for any subsequent data rows in the row group:
    <tr class="#ALT#">
      <td class="desc">#C8#</td>
      <td>#C9#</td>
      <td>#C10#</td>
      <td>#C11#</td>
      <td>#C12#</td>
      <td>#C13#</td>
      <td>#C14#</td>
      <td>#C15#</td>
      <td>#C16#</td>
    </tr>
#CLOSE_ROW_GROUP#Both templates make use of a <tt>#CLOSE_ROW_GROUP#</tt> column value conditionally generated in the query that returns a <tt></tbody></tt> tag if the current row is the last data row in the row group. (Mixing logic and structure in this way is not good practice, but APEX only allows up to 4 conditional row templates, which is completely insufficient for any moderately complex structure.)
<li>Several metadata columns (incorporating heavy use of analytic functions) are added to the report query for use in the report template or CSS presentation:

border-top: 1px solid #fff;
font-weight: bold;
.fish th,
.fish td {
padding: 3px 6px;
.fish th {
border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;
border-left: 1px solid #fff;
background-color: #275096;
color: #fff;
font-weight: 300;
text-align: left;
.fish td {
text-align: right;
.fish tr.\30 td {
    background-color: #dde;
.fish td:first-child {
    text-align: left;
</style>The default theme L&F report adds vertical borders to separate columns and column groups (latter may not be fully effective on IE: I'm not wasting my time on quirks mode fixes for that).
The resulting report uses 60% less vertical space, and 87% less HTML code[1] than the original. Usability and accessibility are improved by eliminating nested tables and useless table cells and shim images, increasing the contrast between text and background colours, and using alternating row backgrounds for better visual tracking.
[1] Including whitespace, but neither template is compressed in any way: both are in fully readale format including normal whitespace indentation.

Custom report template and URL links

Hello,
I have been working on this problem for some-time and it's starting to get frustrating. I am trying to 'mimic' the functionality of the 'people search' application and I am working on the hierarchy portion of it (page 3).
I copied the (3) custom report templates (one for each level of the hierarchy) and I created three queries to go to each.
My problem is that the links in the report template code keep getting mixed around -- the mgr_id is showing where the mgr_name should be, etc. In the example application the query has about 6 columns, and the template is only showing three (and the order of them in the report attributes doesn't seem to matter. But when I change the column order in my application, the data in the template changes??
Here is an example query:
select MGR_NAME, work_role,
nvl(total_direct,0) Directs, nvl(total_reports,0) Reports
from hr_orgchart_view
where
emp_id = :p3_emp_id
And the matching report template:
<tr align="center" valign="top">
<td align="center"class="instructiontext">
<b>#MGR_NAME#</b>
<br><font size=-2>
#WORK_ROLE#
</font><br><FONT class="smallBlack">
Directs: #DIRECTS# Total: #REPORTS#</font></td></tr>
Since the column name is being referenced as the link text, column order should not matter right?
Please shed some light on this situation, as I am holding up development. I am using version 1.6
Thanks,
Jeff

Sorry, the code was messed up in previous post:
Template:
<tr align="center" valign="top">
<td align="center"class="instructiontext">
<b>#MGR_NAME#</b>
<br><font size=-2>
#WORK_ROLE#</font><br><FONT class="smallBlack">
Directs: #DIRECTS# Total: #REPORTS#</font></td></tr>

Registering a custom report template

Hi,
I'm working with Reports 10g.
I've created a new template and I'm trying to register it so I can see it in the Report Wizard.
Just to get things rolling I'm concentrating on registering it for a simple Tabular report. So I open cagprefs.ora and edit the Reports.Tabular_Template_Desc and Reports.Tabular_Template_File with the desc and filename of the report.
I restart reports.
I use the report wizard to create a Tabular report
Nothing happens. No new report template.
Help!

Did you modify "CAUPREFS.ORA" file? Make change in this file if it exists.

Custom Report Template

Is there a way to create a "Report Template" that will have the following tags ?
<span style="color:red;background-color:yellow;"><thead></span>
<span style="color:red;background-color:yellow;"><tbody></span>
<p>
<table>
<span style="color:red;background-color:yellow;"><thead></span>
<tr>
<th>Domain Name</th>
<th>Creation Date</th>
<th>Expiry Date</th>
<th>Organization Name</th>
</tr>
<span style="color:red;background-color:yellow;"></thead></span>
<span style="color:red;background-color:yellow;"><tbody></span>
<tr>
<td>pythonmac.org</td>
<td>2003-09-24</td>
<td>2006-09-24</td>
<td>Bob Ippolito</td>
</tr>
<span style="color:red;background-color:yellow;"></tbody></span>
</table>
</p>
<p>
Reason: JavaScript "sort table" code needs these tags to work.

Thanks Jes but I don't see how that's possible given HTMLDB's report template editing options, check it out:
<img src="http://img319.imageshack.us/img319/2205/reporttemplate2kl.th.gif" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" />
Or there is another (more flexible) way to define a template ???
Thanks

Custom report tempalte

Hi
I've had this one answered with our yes! hours, I'm sure it came up in the training too - I'm assuming you are using advanced reporting?
If your requisition URL is http://servername/RequestCenter/myservices/navigate.do?requisitionId=18954&query=requisition you would need to create a colum in the report with the expression
'http://servername/RequestCenter/myservices/navigate.do?requisitionId=' || cast ([REQUISITIONID],VARCHAR(10)) || '&performerID=&query=requisition'
You would then need to insert a hyperlink type column and make the value of the computed value your hyperlink - I chose to make my ReqID the display name. As you are hardcoding the URL in, you will need to change it as you migrate between environments.
Hope this helps - it is going to make drill downs a lot easier for us now.

Where can i see default look report template

Hi All,
Iam using Default look 5 report template. but it is not showing in edit page. If i select other tahn default look ,it is showing in edit page.
but i need change column heading color and etc ...... for default Look 5
Any One knows pls ...tell me
Thanks in Advance

"Default look" report templates are hard-wired into the APEX engine and cannot be modified. You could look at the HTML source of a rendered report to figure out any classes etc used and try to come up with CSS to override the default appearance, but the best approach would be to use the rendered source in conjunction with Firefox+Firebug to figure out how the report is structured and styled and build a custom report template based on this.

Customised Report Template - URL Issue

Hi,
I have customized report template to change the look and feel of the report table. Following are css class definitions and row templates:
.c1 {border:1px solid black; background-color:#; text-align:center; padding:2px;}
.c2 {border:1px solid black; background-color:#; text-align:center; padding:2px;}
<tr>
<td class="c1">#1#</td>
<td class="c2">Click Here</td>
</tr>
I want the value in the table to be URLs which will point to pages in the same application (when '#1#' or 'Click Here' is clicked.) Currently, it's not working properly.
What should I assign to "a href=" sothat it works properly?
Thanks,
Rahul

APEX URL syntax:
<tt>f?p=App:Page:Session:Request:Debug:ClearCache:itemNames:itemValues:PrinterFriendly</tt>
Like most information about APEX, it is freely available in the documentation.
(Please post code wrapped in \...\wrapped in <tt>\...\</tt> tags to preserve formatting and stop the forum software from interpreting HTML/CSS/JavaScript.)

Custom Report: Columns with headings merged

Hello All,
Is there a way to get a custom layout in reports as depicted in the following image -
http://tinypic.com/r/20sbqtx/6
I can generate the simple layout with A, B1, B2 and B3 headings, but I'm not sure how and where to aggregate the B1, B2 and B3 into B.
Thanks

Create a custom report template including an extra row with column spanning in the header section of the template.

Custom report row template

Few questions when using a custom report row template. Followup to the discussion Report Row Template: Column condition
1. The row template allows full control how the entire row is rendered. I can see this being used when the report query returns a single row and we need to format it in a very specific way. But when the query returns multiple rows, how is the specified Row Template used? i.e the first row is "consumed" and rendered as per the template. If the same process is repeated for subsequent rows, how can we control whether successive rows are rendered across the page (left to right) or down the page (top to bottom)?
2. When a custom row template is used to render a tabular form, the hidden columns (marked Edit=Y, Show=N on Report Attributes) are present in the markup even when they are not specified in the row template! i.e. the MRU process works. Of course, this is a good thing but I was curious to know what exactly controls this, what part of the report template controls where the hidden form elements are placed?
3. Any number/date formatting specified declaratively on the Column Attributes page appears to be taken into account when column values are substituted in the template using #COL# notation. But all the other Column Attributes are ignored (alignment, sum, show, link, etc). Is there a way to use the Link attribute to declaratively specify the link so the value of the column #COL# as seen by the report template includes the A tag?
Thanks

Comments? Thanks

Custom Report using pre-defined template

In 2012, How to create custom report using pre-defined reports template in below format?
Column1 :- Device Name
Column2 :- When installed (Date & Time)
Column3 :- Success (Date & Time)
Column3 :- Failed (Date & Time - With which error code)
Column4 :- Not Installed
Regards,

Here is what you need to do.
Start by writing the SQL query that you want.
Clone one of the existing report
Replace the SQL query with the new query.
Update the columns with what you need.

Report Template driven by custom functions

Hello,
I'm a newbie, and i'm trying to design a report template driven by a vw and/or stored proc to display information on a letterhead report. Such as names that can change at any time. I have another interface linked to the vw/sp to change that information at any time. What i'm trying to get is the idea of how to create a template letterhead report that i don't have to go back into crystal to change whenever the administration name changes.
Does anybody have any ideas or examples? I'm thinking Custom Functions are the way to go but, i just don't know how to get started with using them if that's the way to go.
Thanks in advance!

Please re-post if this is still an issue
