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.

Creating Dynamic Column Headings in Interactive Reports

Hi,
any ideas how I can alter the name of a column in an interactive report.?
I have columns whose usage is defined by the end user and consequently want to have their own meaningful column header displayed whenever this column is referenced.
I can get column headers to change in standard reports by using PL/Sql to return the column headers. In Forms, I use shortcuts (these don't seem to work for reports, I wish they did) but I'm at a loss on how to achieve this with IR's.
Thanks
Mike

I wrote a script(application process) that updated the table that holds column name. I changed the display name, not the column name. I cant remember the actual table, but i found it by looking at the code that create the "APEX Application Page Ir Col" View.
I dont know if this is best practice, but it works for me.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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

ApEx - Interactive Report

I have two issues with respect to Interactive Report in ApEx
1. I used the Aggegrate Function to sum up the values. Though the Values are displayed, i want to have the Wordings " Totals". How to go about that
2. In the Interactive Report, i use the Highlight option to color a set of rows based on some condition. Now after saving the report (primary), i as an end user still see the Query Part with an X. As a developer i dont want my end users to see that portion. From the end user point of view, he should be able to see the report with various colors as defined by me, but without seeing the X mark. (I got the answer to this through another forum,..thanks)
But the first one still remains...
Kindly help.

Hello,
Do you want some customers appear twice or not in your top 10?
If not in your select you would need to specify DISTINCT (or probably look a bit more inside the query because you might have a cartesian product that makes the rows appear more than once).
Next you can order by Value and then only show the first 10. You can do that dynamically with the interactive report or directly in your query. On Asktom you see some nice examples about top n queries: http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:2853107469873

Interactive Reports using collections - How to control column headings

Hi,
I found a link in the forum somewhere that showed a step by step how to to use collections with Interactive Reports so you can dynamically build the SQL and also control the column headings. Does anyone know where the How-To is ??
If not, I know how to build the SQL dynamically but what is the best way to control the column headings.
Sometimes the report will have 17 columns and other times up to 30 columns.
Thank you, Bill

Hi Bill,
Without knowing more about the PL/SQL code, the underlying tables and the select statements used, it is difficult to say.
I would firstly check that I had indexes on the right column or combination of columns. One minute sounds a lot for a query to me, but that may be ok if the tables are very large and the PL/SQL has to do a fair bit to construct the output. You could also do an Explain Plan for any query to check to see if indexes are being used if they exist - this would also show up any part of a query that takes an inordinate amount of time.
I assume that the PL/SQL is only run once even if the page is reloaded multiple times? However, once the collection has been created, the report itself should be fairly quick as it should be just a simple select over the collection data. Switching on the debug mode should help identify which part is taking the time.

Dynamically Colour Cells in an Interactive Report

My application requires an interactive report where cells are colour coded and the cell may, or may not have a value, but the value doesn't relate to the colour.
The report is based on a view which returns a result set as follows:
rn col1_value col1_colour col2_value col2_colour col3_value col3_colour col4_value col4_colour
1        null        grey          3        null       null        null        null        red
2        null        null          3        grey       null        null           4        red
3        null        grey       null        null          3        null        null        redIn the results, each cell to be displayed has two columns per row, one with the colour and one with the value to display where null is the default colour (white)/no value.
In Apex 4.1 I can set the colour based on the values using the dynamic actions on the report display, but I can't work out how to set the colour of col1_value based on the results of col1_colour. I am hoping there is a way to set the colour of the cell col1_value and hide col1_colour from the report.
If you know of any posts providing an example of how this may work, or if you are able to explain it to me I would really appreciate your time.
I appreciate it may not be simple to see what I am aiming for given the text restriction and no images/tables available on the forum, hopefully you get the idea, but if not, ask and I will try and explain further.
I have seen Blog posts about 3-4 years old on how you do this in Apex 3.0 or older, but can't work out how to get this to work in Apex 4.0 or Apex 4.1.

I have solved this using Javascript in a Dynamic Action, javascript something like:
$("td[headers='COL1_COLOUR']").each(function(){
   switch($(this).text())
      case "grey":
           $(this).parent().children("td[headers='COL1_VALUE']").css({"background-color":"#999"});
           break;
      case "green":
           $(this).parent().children("td[headers='COL1_VALUE']").css({"background-color":"green"});
           break;
      case "blue":
           $(this).parent().children("td[headers='COL1_VALUE']").css({"background-color":"blue"});
           break;
      case "orange":
           $(this).parent().children("td[headers='COL1_VALUE']").css({"background-color":"orange"});
           break;
      case "yellow":
           $(this).parent().children("td[headers='COL1_VALUE']").css({"background-color":"yellow"});
           break;
      default:
           break;
    $(this).css({"visibility":"hidden"});
    $("th[id='COL1_COLOUR']").css({"visibility":"hidden"});
});

Dynamically set maximum row count in Interactive Report

Hi,
Has anyone worked out a way of dynamically setting (e.g. via select list) the maximum row count value for an Interactive Report, taking into account issues with order by when the report is filtered. I'm aware of solutions like this: http://www.talkapex.com/2010/10/apex-reports-no-limit-downloads.html but as far as I can tell this doesn't work when the report is filtered and the IR is rewritten in the background. Data sets then become unreliable because they are reordered.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
You can do that with javascript
gReport.search('SEARCH',100)the 100 you can replace for any number you like.I have a report with filter,sorting and groups and it is gives no problem there.
any number means any number but not higher than the number you set at Maximum Rows Per Page.
You probably can mix the solution from Martin and the above code.

Dynamic Action based on Interactive Report Select List Value

I'd like to perform a Dynamic Action when a user selects one of 3 options from a Select List within an Interactive Report:
select APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(
p_idx => 3,
--p_value         =>   deptno,
p_list_values => 'Copy;Copy,Delete;Delete,Export to PDF;Export to PDF',
--p_attributes    =>   'style="color:red;"',
p_show_null => 'YES',
p_null_value => NULL,
p_null_text => '--Select--',
--p_item_id       =>   'f03_#ROWNUM#',
p_item_id => 'P6_IR_SELECT_LIST',
p_item_label => 'Label for f03_#ROWNUM#',
p_show_extra => 'YES') "Actions"
from dual;
When building the Dynamic Action, I chose the following values from the Advanced wizard
Event: Select
Selection Type: DOM Object
DOM Object: P6_IR_SELECT_LIST
Condition: Equal to
Value: "Delete"
True Action: Execute Javascript Code: Alert('Here');
Doesn't seem to be firing...can anyone help?
Thanks in advance,
John

Hi,
I am not sure if the "equal to" condition applies to a DOM object... after all, a DOM object can be anything (any HTML element) not only a field.
Try using a javascript expression instead, like this:
$v('P6_IR_SELECT_LIST')=='Delete'UPDATE: Sorry, I just tested and "equal to" condition works for DOM objects... should have tested before posting!

Dynamic Column Heading on Interactive Report

I have my column headings for my table columns stored in the database. I want the Interactive Report to use these heading (instead of static headings). Is there a way to have the columns set from the database(with a function/procedure)?

you can replace the column headings with &PAGE_ITEM.
obviously one page item per column header
then use the database to populate the items with your column headings.
