Dynamic Filter on Interactive Reports

Great job guys on the new Interactive Reports feature of 3.1
I can't express how much time this will save us in our development effort and how much real estate on the screen is saved by not having to create our own report filters.
My question is this:
Say you have defined a default filter that returns all rows that were created between 01-JAN-1999 and 31-DEC-2999 (all rows in our application)
Is it possible the make the 2 dates dynamic in the filter i.e. I would like to default these to the start and end date of the current month?
Thanks for any help or suggestions
Duncs

I think I may have found the answer using the "In the Last" operator
Will post my solution once implemented

Search/Filter through Interactive Report!

Hi All,
First of all WISH a very Happy New Year-2010!!
In my previous post for Search/Filter through Interactive Report!
I am facing problem with UI as mentioned below can any one help me out on this, as this an urgent for me...
At last i was able to was able to retrieve the data from Iframe using different logic!!
But i want to modify some of the modifications in UI Design..
As i have informed u that End user always selects the Page-85 which is visible to them..
In that page(85) i have totally created three regions.
1. Attribute Report(Intearctive report)
2. Manage Attribute(HTML where i have give iframe syntax as {iframe ID="Attribute Report" src="" style="width:520;" FRAMEBORDER=0></iframe>
3. Create/Edit Region
FYI: There is a create button in Attrinbute Report and when i click on that Button then only i wil display the Create/Edit Region
Now the problem is end user are using pixels as 1024*756 size, when i have tried to increase the size of width in iframe, the create/edit region is crossing and
need to scroll down to check the data.
Let us assume if i had reduced the size of width as default 520 then create/edit region is placed with in pixcels.
As u know there is a button called as "GetResults" in page-85 when i clik on that button we will call the iframe which is a hidden page where end user
can not view.
The main problem is that in that page i mean page-45, it has desgined in such a way that it is similar to page-85 which is having with all 3 regions!!
When it will display the report from iframe for that the scrolloing is displayed, and when i had click on create button in that iframe the credit/edit region is
displayed but for that there to scroll down which is not happy by endsuer.
In order to overcome this i had tried to increase the width in iframe which is working for one not for the other or viceversa.
Suggestion: Can u suggest me how to fix the pixcels so that it will not excceds the pixecls size?
What i had thought is in page-85 i have created totally 4 regions instead of 3 regions as shown below:
1. Attribute Region
2. manage Attribure(With Iframe)
3. manage Attribute(With out iframe but used one hidden varibable ans set that hidden in condtional region)
4. Create/Edit Region.
And i am setting that hidden variable in Create button, so that i can call the second manage attribure with iframe.. When i have tried to use that it is throwing script error as "style is null or nor an object", i belive scince we are hidinng that region it migh not able to identify that style!!!
Can u suggest me the way i have done i had implemenetd is sounds goods for u? Or else can u help me out how to fix that UI design issue...
Thanks in advance,
Anoo..

Hi Andy,
As per your suggestion i have created two pages!. One is 85 page and 45 page, but foe enduser can see only the 85 page.
In 85 page i have created a interactive report as shown below:
SELECT distinct attr_code "EDIT", attr_code, attr_description, attr_atcl_code,
attr_abbreviation,
attr_include_short_desc "Include short desc",
attr_include_long_desc "Include long desc",
attr_attr_type "AttrType", attr_code "DELETE"
FROM t_append WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_COND
WHERE APPLICATION_ID = :APP_ID
AND PAGE_ID = :APP_PAGE_ID
AND CONDITION_ENABLED = 'Yes'
AND APPLICATION_USER = :APP_USER) ORDER BY attr_description;
In the same page itself i have created a One more region, where i have one select list and submit button, when there select fro the list and click on submit button then popup should fired, i mean what u have mentioned. For that i have created a new page called 45 where i have two regions one is HTML region and second is interactive report.
I html region i have given like this in source
<iframe src="f?p=&APP_ID.:85:&SESSION." style="width:500; height:1000;" FRAMEBORDER=0></iframe>
but i am not able to see the template at all?
Pls correct i way i have done is correct or not.
Also i was not able to see the Region as - Popup one ( where i can see the popup option?)
Thanks,
Anoo..

Dynamic action with interactive report region refresh

Hi!
I'm using APEX 4.02
I've got a page with 2 regions.
Region1 is a (input) form
Region2 is an interactive report on the same table as region 1
When entering values on the form I'm trying to dynmically lookup similar records in the table with the interactive report.
I've made a dynamic action on the change of the form fields which should refresh the interactive report region. I can see this one fires if I add a alert to debug if it fires.
The dynamic report is based on a query with bind variables pointing to the form fields, for example
where
field1 = :P2_FIELD1
This works great on the page load, so no dynamic action is fired but I can see the rows in the report region are the ones I am looking for.
But the refresh of the report region is not working, it is never refreshing and/or showing the correct data after a change of the form fields, so it looks like the dynamic action "refresh region" is not working on the interactive report.
Any ideas why this can go wrong ?
I would like to solve this using standard dynamic actions and preferrably not via PL/SQL or JS, shoudl be possible if I should believe the documentation... ;)
Cheers
Bas

Hi,
When you change value to item, I assume you do not set value to session state.
Use interactive report advanced attributes "Page Items to Submit" , set items session state before report is refreshed.

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.

Row filter on Interactive Report via URL parameter

Hi,
I've searched the forum but can't find a concise answer.
Is it possible to pass a parameter (p_X) from one page to another via the url and then use p_X to act as a row filter in an Interactive report?
Thanks for the help
Joel

Joel -
Read the link that Andy posted. It is a pretty good source. This topic is not really that difficult to do. I have done it several times. Make sure that you understand the URL syntax for APEX. If you need a refresher on this take a look at http://www.oracleapplicationexpress.com/tutorials/55

Dynamic Headings on Interactive Report

Hi,
I have an interactive report that I would like to use dynamic headings. I have looked at some of the posts here and have followed what I think is the correct way to do this, but I am still not seeing the headings I am expecting.
I created items to hold the headings and have created a process to populate these items, that all seems to work fine, I can view the session state and see the headings.
I added the items to the report on the Report Attributes page under "Heading". I used the substitution for the items as &P2_HEADING1.
When I look at the report all I see for the substituted heading is &P2_HEADING1. and not the value I would expect.
It seems I am missing a step? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Peter

Hi,
The process point should be ok.
The only other things I can think of are either there is an error in the code (the "Session" link on the developer's toobar will show if the value is being set) or there is a space after the page item name (difficult to see on screen but can cause problems) which makes the item name different to what you expect.

Dynamic Heading in Interactive Report

In standard reports it is possible to create dynamic headings using PL/SQL.
Does anyone know of a way of doing this for Interactive Reports?
I have a report that needs to change date headings dependant on the selected start date.
Thanks,
Jon

Item names (or built-in names like APP_ID) appearing in HTML and which begin with ampersand and end with a period are substituted with their session state values only when the names are upper case. The reason for this is to increase parsing efficiency with respect to differentiation between Application Express references and standard HTML references such as:
&_nbsp;
&_amp;
&_lt;
&_gt;
...etc., (ignore underscore in each of the above).
This ought to be documented better.

Dynamic Title for Interactive Report?

I have an interactive report where I am passing in interative report filters. This is great becase it allows me to reuse a single interactive report in different ways. However, one drawback I am running into is the report title. I'd really like to be able to change the report title based on the filters that I pass in. Is this possible? Can the report title be dynamic?
Thanks,
Andrew Watson

It,s possible.
I'm using item references to alter the report title.
Set the item value to the title that you want for your report and the region name as the example.
Example: Report &P1_ITEM. &P1_ITEM1. &P1_ITEM2. and so far.

Showing current Date (Date Column) in the the filter of Interactive Reports

Hi,
I created a filter for the date column in my report (table column name is Process_Date). I have created a filter in the Interactive reports which populates the data from , a particular time perieod. (From_date - To_Date). How can I change the SQL query or the Report settings, so that when the user open a report it should poulate the data for the previous_day or sysdate-1 by default.
Thanks in advance for your help.

... (this is a time worked by date and not always entered on the date worked)--
"Time" in Numbers is always "Time of Day", and is always part of a Date and Time value. "Amount of Time" is a Duration value, which may be displayed in a similar format to "Time of Day," but is a different type of value.
If you are entering the number of hours and minutes worked, format the column as Duration, set the units and the format in which you want to have the value appear.
The Date column will still contain a Date and Time value (Jan 1, 2011 00:00:00 in the cell shown in the example), but the "Time Worked" cells will contain only a Duration value.
Incidently, the Date in A2 was entered as "jan 1" (without the quotes). Numbers automatically adds the current year and the default time value, then displays the result in the closest format to what you've entered, or in the Date and Time format you have chosen.
The Duration value in B2 was entered as 3:15 (as displayed). Note that in the entry bar the duration is displayed as 3h 15m, probably to distinguish it from a similarly formatted (Date and) Time value.

Dynamic Checkboxes on Interactive Report

I have an interactive report that currently lists a row of values:
Field1
Val1
Val2
Val3
I would like to place a text-field at the top of this interactive report with a submit button:
[textbox] [submit button]
Field 1
Val1
Val2
Va3
Then I would like to have checkboxes [] appear in each row:
[textbox] [submit button]
Field1 | Checkbox
Val1 | []
Val2 | []
Val3 | []
Then I would like to make it so that the user enters some text into the textbox and selects any number of the row checkboxes. Upon hitting submit, a procedure will run that accepts each Field1 value and inserts a record into a table containing 2 fields: the Field1 value and the textbox text.
So the following user input:
[Test text in the textbox.] [submit button]
Field1 | Checkbox
Val1 | []
Val2 | [x]
Va3 | [x]
After hitting the submit button, a procedure would be called that would insert 2 records into a table:
Field1 | Field2
Val2 | Test text in the textbox.
Val3 | Test text in the textbox.
Note that there is no entry for Val1 because its checkbox was not checked when the user pressed submit.
What can I do to make this happen? I appreciate any help you can offer.

Thanks for sharing
I am having exactly the same problem.
I have an interactive report with the following SQL.
select RSN_CD,
DESC,
APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,RSN_CD) "Select"
from CAN_RSN
I've set the 'Select' column's type to 'Standard Report Column'. But the checkbox does not appear on the report.
Apex Version: 4.0.1.00.03
Thanks.

OR Filter in Interactive Report

Hi,
How can I have "OR" Filter in Intercactive Report ?
For Eg: I want set a filter Like Dept contains HR or SALES :
Dept contains 'HR'
Dept contains 'SALES'
But it gives me result if only one filter enabled at a time.
How can I have result set from both condition?
Regards,
Benz

Hi Martin,
Actually my Dept column is not exactly like 'HR' or 'SALES' ,
So "IN" condition will not work.
Im looking for filter :
DEPT LIKE '%HR%'
OR
DEPT LIKE '%SALES%'
else
DEPT contains 'HR'
DEPT contains 'SALES'

Benz

Dynamic Filter Display in Report Designer

Hi All,
We have implemented a new BI reporting tool and are using Report Designer for the output format. The problem is that we cannot see any dynamic filters or navigational level when printing as RD takes it back to the original format. To overcome this issue, we have given the same query with the variable selection so that RD always prints the variable selection but this has reduced performance.
Anyone with ideas to overcome this situation or any workarounds will be appreciated.

thanks Ajeet ,
But this is regarding Report Designer where i create appliction which is based on the WAD or Bex Query . Do we have any setting in Report designer where we can check the selection input which user has given while execution of the report.
Thnks . please advice.
Regards

Filter at Interactive Reports (want to use CURRENT_USER) Filter Expression

I create an application based on websheets.
I want to restrict to the logged in USER (:APP_USER).
The Report can have a column filled at the creation of a row:
Manage->ADD_COLUMN Default_Type=CUT`RRENT_USER (logged in User, thats APP_USER)
But the Filter (Filter_Type=ROW) does not allow for Expression CURRENT_USER whereas CURRENT_DATE available.

I do so (with SQL where...) at Apex-Application.
But I want to use a websheet datagrid - not a report (put in data and select them)...
If I use a report I can only use database objects, but only for select no create/update of rows.
Any other idea ?

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'

Dynamic Interactive Reports

Hi all,
Is it possible to alter the sql query of an interactive report, in a dynamic way? I want load a given query, in execution time, to an interactive report.
How can i access the internal ApEx database tables? Could i write into the table responsible for storing Interactive Report information?? I only know the existence of views like APEX_APPLICATION_ ....
Regards Pedro.

Hi Pedro,
Currently Apex doesn't support dynamic queries in interactive report however you can achieve it using apex collections. Create a before header pl-sql process to create a collection using dynamic sql query and then build the interactive report by selecting data from above collection.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Manish
