Default initial sorting within report

Hi, dear Apex-Insiders,
One page of my application contains a report that is selecting all from a table.
I do allow that the results may be orderer on any column.
Nevertheless, by calling this page from another page I always want the same initial order. But application express remembers the settings of the call before.
Is it possible to suppress this behaviour ? And how to manage this ?
Thanks in advance,
Hergen.

Hi Rob,
I did not completeley understand the advice given in that thread.
But it brought mo to the following idea:
Create Process as:
Process Point: On load - Before Header
Run Process: Once Per Page Visit
Process: RESET_USER_PREFERENCES.
That is not 100% what I wanted, but very close to it.
Whenever this page is invoked from another page the sorting is at the default.
It is also at the default when I submit a procedure at the same page (which I did not want, but can accept).
Thank you for your help,
Hergen.

Default initial view that applies to all PDFs opened

Is it possible to set a default PDF initial view that applies to every pdf opened, regardless of the source of the pdf? Simply put, I want to have the initial view of EVERY pdf I open to be at 100% zoom and no bookmark panel. Obviously this can be done manually every time I open a pdf, which will then reopen with those settings. It seems logical that I should be able to set a default initial view that will apply to any pdf I open and not require me to manually set every one. I've tried every option noted in all the forums I have found, using prologue and epilogue, file>properties, edit>preferences, action wizard. It all boils down to this...I don't want to manually set anything. I want to open pdf documents in the initial view I prefer.

I have spend a great deal of time researching this exact question. What I have found is that essentially the answer is "no". I have come up with a workaround that isn't painless, but it gets the results I want without having to touch every pdf after it is opened.
I set up an Action in Acrobat that has the options I want (page and 100% with no bookmark panel open) and run it against pdfs in a specified directory. It sets all initial views for any pdf in the directory to what I want. The action can also be run against any directory or file, but for my purposes I find doing it in a sort of "batch" mode works best. To set the Action:
     1.     Open Acrobat (with no other pdfs open)
     2.     File >Action Wizard>Create New Action
     3.     On right panel set
                         Start with:     "Ask When Action is Started"
                         Save to:          "The Same Folder Selected at Start", check "Overwrite existing Files"
                                             (if you plan to run this action against a directory as I am)
     4.     From left panel
                         Select Document Processing>Set Open Options
     5.     In right panel click on "Options" for the step you just created and set the initial view you desire
     6.     Save
When you want to use the action you can access it from Acrobat opening window or any pdf file you currently have open.
Another alternative is to use Distiller with epilogue.ps or prologue.ps to append this initial view to any document created. As I don't create many pdfs, it didn't really help with what I wanted to do. .

[Forum FAQ] How do I change default values shown in Report Delivery Options?

Introduction
Some users want to change default values shown in Report Delivery Options when creating standard subscriptions. Someone might want to always Cc the report to a specified user without sending the report URL. So they want to display those default values display
automatically when creating standard subscriptions like below.
Solution
To achieve this goal, please embed JavaScript code into the SubscriptionProperties.aspx file to change those default values (By default, the file’s location is: <Installation directory>\Reporting Services\ReportManager\Pages\SubcriptionProperties.aspx).
The example below will show how to set default values for “Cc” field and “Include Link” field.
Before coding, pleas find out the corresponding HTML tags of the two fields in the browser using IE Developer Tools.
Get “Cc” field with its corresponding HTML tag
Get “Include Link” field with its corresponding HTML tag
Embed such a code snippet at the end of the existing code within the SubcriptionProperties.aspx file
<script runat="server">
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(typeof(Page),"MyScript", "var cc = document.getElementById('CcEmailAddressesID');cc.value = '[email protected]';var IncludeLink = document.getElementById('ui_cbIncludeLink');IncludeLink.checked
= false;",true);}
</script>
Create a new subscription to check the default values shown in Report Delivery Options

Thanks,
Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
in a supported way?
Thanks! Josh

Sorting the report by clicking the column header

Hello,
Currently working on a requirement where i need to sort the report by clicking the column header. Can anyone please help me on this.
Suppose i have 3 colums deptno,dname,sal fields in my report. if i click deptno column header, report has to sort by deptno.Like that i need for other columns also.
Any help is really appreciated
Thanks
Ram

Hello,
You can sort the fields using method suggested by Cauvery. However if you would like to have Ascending/ Descending sort order control at column header, then would require to implement few additional steps.
First do the sorting of field using the way suggested by Cauvery. Once sorting is done, right click on the column name and select the option ' Bind Sort Control'. You will see the sorted field in the window. select the field and click ok.
Now you would get 2 arrows on column. If you click upper arrow, fields would be sorted in Ascending Order and if you click on down arrow, it would be in Descending order.

How to show values with initial sort asc/desc in 11.5.10 iProcurement page?

(Logged Bug 12902576 with OAFramework DEV, but OAF DEV closed the bug and advised to log the issue here in the forum)
How to have values sorted in ascending order when user first navigates to the page?
Currently the values are unsorted, and are only sorted after the user clicks the column heading to sort the values. We expect the users should not have to click the column heading, but instead that the values should be sorted in ascending order when the user navigates to the page. This issue occurs on an OAFramework based page in iProcurement application.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
=================
Receipts and Invoices are not sorted in iProcurement Lifecycle page even after implementing personalization to sort ascending on Receipt Number and Invoice Number. Users expect the receipts and invoices to be sorted but they are not sorted.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Navigate to iProcurement
2. Click the Requisitions tab
3. Search and find a requisition line that is associated to a Purchase Order having multiple receipts and multiple invoices.
4. Click the Details icon to view the lifecycle page where the receipts and invoices are listed
- see that the receipts are not sorted, and the invoices are not sorted
5. Implement personalization to sort in ascending order for Receipt Number and for Invoice Number. Apply the personalization and return to page.
- the receipts and invoices are still not sorted.
IMPACT
Users need the receipts and invoices sorted to make it easier to review the data. As a workaround, click the column heading to sort the results
Tried workaround suggested by OAFramework DEV in Bug 12902576 but this did not help.
TESTCASE of suggested workaround
NAVIGATION in visprc01
1. Login: dfelton / welcome
2. iProcurement responsibility / iProcurement Home Page / Requisitions tab
3. Click the Search button in the upper right
4. Specify search criteria
- Remove the 'Created by' value
- Change 'Last 7 Days' to 'Anytime'
- Type Requisition = 2206
5. Click Go to execute the search
6. Click the Requisition 2206 number link
7. Click the Details icon
8. In the Receipt section, click the link 'Personalize Table: (ReceivingTableRN)'
9. Click the Personalize (pencil) icon
10. Click the Query icon for Site level (looks different than the screenshots from OAFramework team, because this is 11.5.10 rather than R12
- Compare this to the Table personalization page show in the reference provided by OAFramework team -
http://www-apps.us.oracle.com/fwk/fwksite/jdev/doc/devguide/persguide/T401443T401450.htm#cust_persadmin_editperprop
11. See on the Create Query page
Sorting
No sorting is allowed
The Query Row option becomes available in personalize after setting the Receipt Number row to Searchable. However, even after clicking the Query icon to personalize, it is not possible to specify sorting. There is a Sorting heading section on the personalization page, but there is also a statement: No sorting is allowed
The workaround mentioned by OAFramework team in Bug 12902576 does not work for this case
- maybe because this is 11.5.10 rather than R12?
- maybe similar to Bug 8351696, this requires extension implementation?
What is the purpose of offering ascending/descending for Sort Allowed if it does not work?
Please advise if there is a way to have the initial sort in ascending order for this page.

I´m sorry that you couldn´t reproduce the problem.
To be clear:
It´s not about which symbol should seperate the integer part from the fraction.
The problem is, that i can´t hide the fraction in bargraph.
The data im showing are integers but the adf bar graph component wants to show at least 4 digits.
As I´m from germany my locale should be "de" but it should matter in the test case.
You can download my test case from google drive:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B5xsRfHLScFEMWhUNTJsMzNNUDQ]
If there are problems with the download please send me an e-mail: [email protected]
I uploaded another screenshot to show the problem more clear:

Using a different default component state within each page state

I am using a custom component in multiple page states but would like to have a different default state (for the same custom component) within each page state.
Is there anyway to use a different default component state within each page state .
When I change the default state at a component level it seems to go across all my page states. Any solutions?
Thank you

I guess I can just add that interaction for that component!
I think my brain is just catching up

Defining default value for financial reports display in the workspace (9.3)

Hi
I need to change the default value for financial reports workspace preview mode, for every workspace user. It is actually set on html, and I would like to have pdf instead.
This option can be changed when logged on the workspace, in file->preferences->financial reporting->default preview mode. However I want every user to start with the right settings, so they dont have to change anything manually.
I have tried to do it with Shared Services : under projects, BI+, assign preferences. From there I can change the default folder and the start page (the general preferences), however I cannot find the options for financial reporting.
Is there a way to change these values with hyperion tools ?
If not, is it possible to change it directly in the repository DB ?Thanks and best regards

We looked at this about 2 years ago - from memory, you can only set preferences when the users are first setup in Shared Services, under the manage preferences section of the wizard.
I can't remember if there is a settings file you can edit for the default users - i think there is, but again this must be set before users are set up.
We looked at changing users preferences, but gave up on the idea as all users had been provisioned already :-(
Cheers, Iain

Set default Initial View to Bookmarks Panel and Page on all new docs

Hello Acrobat Experts,
We convert *many* Word docs to PDF. We have PDFMaker force security on all docs. Now every document has the security settings we want.
That works.
We want to force the default Initial View to be Bookmarks Panel and Page so that *every* new document shows the Bookmark Panel and the Page.
We don't want to set this per document (which is a multi-setp process and a hassle, especially now that security is enabled) but globally for all new documents created by Adobe Acrobat.
Any and all advice is most welcome.
Thank you in advance.
Tech details:
Acrobat Professional 8.1.7
Windows Xp Professional (all current updates)

The article I pointed to in my Oct 20, 2009 post #3 contains two pointers that might assist to initially open the PDF fitting the page to the window.
I think you may be after "Vire [/Fit]" as described in the article;
[ /PageMode /UseOutlines
/Page 1 /View [/Fit ]
/DOCVIEW pdfmark
These lines of code open your PDF document with the bookmarks panel open. If you just want the document on its own try "UseNone" instead of "UseOutlines". Here are some additional values:
/Page 1 opens the PDF on page 1
View [/Fit ] opens the PDF Fit to page
And the article points to the PDFMark reference where you might look at Actions and Destinations on page 47.
I've not tried to do this myself so would you be kind enough to post your result and let us know the version of Acrobat you're using?

Setup printer defaults settings in BI reports

Hi,
Our client has given us some new requirements to be able to setup printer defaults settings in BI reports so that when the user opens up the report the printing format is set for them. All the user has to do is refresh the BI report and then it will print correctly for them, with Headers and Footers.
Now, I know we can not do this with the Query Designer, but we may be able to do it with workbooks, but what I dont know is if there are other options we can take to do this. Such as the Report Designer? I have never used the Report Designer so I dont know if we can build reports using the Report Designer and that the user can access and run this report from somewhere such as the portal.
Can any one please help in this regard.

Could you please guide me to achieve this requirement.It's a lot easier to do so if the following information is provided (as has been repeatedly pointed out to you):
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
Sorting of the saved report list by report name was introduced in APEX 4.1.

Setting a default initial value to a CHAR type field in a custom table

Is it possible to set a default initial value to a field in a customer table(Ztable) that is not SPACE? SAP sets the initial value to " " space for datatype CHAR.
I am looking at creating a field in a table that would always default to 'X' on creation of a new row.
Your response is appreciated..

Hi,
I believe this cannot be done..
If you are inserting the row through a program then you can insert the field value to be 'X'.. If the value is not passed ..Then it will be blank..
If you are using table maintenance then in the PAI ..you can insert values..
Thanks,
Naren

TableView initial sort

Hi,
I want to have an initial sort of a table and it should be done by the server. I know I could do it by application, but this is just a question if it is possible.
I found for the htmlb:tableViewColumn the attribute preSelectedSortDirection = "DESCENDING". But it seems that it is just showing the sort direction....
My tableView look like this one:
<htmlb:tableView id = "time"
 table = "//model/tab_time"
 emptyTableText = "do data"
 selectionMode = "<%= selectionmode %>"
 fillUpEmptyRows = "TRUE"
 sort = "SERVER"
 visibleRowCount = "3"
 width = "100%" >
 <htmlb:tableViewColumns>
 <htmlb:tableViewColumn columnName = "personid"
 title = "person"
 sort = "TRUE" />
 <htmlb:tableViewColumn columnName = "time"
 title = "time"
 edit = "TRUE" />
 <htmlb:tableViewColumn columnName = "wdate"
 title = "date"
 edit = "TRUE"
 sort = "TRUE"
 preSelectedSortDirection = "DESCENDING" />
 <htmlb:tableViewColumn columnName = "shortcomment"
 title = "comment"
 edit = "TRUE"
 sort = "TRUE" />
 </htmlb:tableViewColumns>
</htmlb:tableView>
Thanks for help,
Stefan Huemer

my guess is that preSelectedSortDirection is only to mark the right icon.
lets take a case.
you sort the itab ascending and pass it to htmlb:tableView without using preSelectedSortDirection in column definition. in this case though the sorting is in ascending order the icons in the table header wont tell whether the current situation is ascending sort to descending sort.
so the way to use it
if you sort the itab passed to htmlb:tableview in ascending order by column a and b initially then set preSelectedSortDirection to 'ASCENDING' to column a and b .
if you sort the itab passed to htmlb:tableview in descending order by column a and b initially then set preSelectedSortDirection to 'DESCENDING' to column a and b .
if you have not sorted the itab passed to htmlb:tableView then dont set anything for preSelectedSortDirection

To change the initial sorting property

hi

So pls help me where i should have to make this changes ... iam beginner in km area so pls help me ..and this is urgently needed..... surely give points to helpful answers.

Hi,
The collection renderer you are using has a property called Property for Sorting which Specifies the initial sort property.
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/87/3d48475ee8bd448c4031aa98d90524/frameset.htm]
In your example, If you're using the standard layoutset for KM Content, go to System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management -> User Interface -> Settings ->
Collection Renderer Settings
-> Collection List Renderer Settings -> AdminCollectionListRenderer. Find Property for Sorting and change it from rnd:displayname to rnd:modified.
