Enabling Icon View in an Interactive Report

Hi all
I would have liked to add a screenshot to show what is exactly the nature of the problem, but since I cannot, I'll give as much details as I can.
So, any way, in Apex 4, I enabled the "Icon view" in the "Interactive Report Attributes" of an "Interactive Report". Once I ran the application, I switch the view of the report to "Icon View" and then deactivated the "Search Bar" (in the "Interactive Report Attributes") in order to restraint the user's view to the "Icon View". Everything worked just fine, I got the application to load the icons and to display them with a cute text... but then, even if the report is displayed as a horizontal "list", I remain stock with some of the report's view borders, + when I scroll my mouse on one of the icons, it highlight all the icons of the row like it will do for an interactive report's line. So what I will like to do is to completely hide the reports border and to disable the mouseover option.
I tried to resolve those two 'detail's by using the customizing options offered by Apex, but I couldn't find anything. I'm open to any suggestion...
Thx
Pierre

How to pass ITEM:VALUE pair in ICON view link of Interactive Report

When Icon View is enabled in an interactive report, you can display graphic images (blob data that are stored in the database) in 3 different views.
1) View Icons
2) View Report
3) View Detail
When you click on the displayed image in views 1 and 3 you navigate to a form to manage the row data and the image. By default it only passes the PK id of the row.
How do I pass additional ITEM:VALUE pairs when navigating to the detail form page? I want to pass &APP_PAGE_ID. to the form page as well.
There is an attribute under ICON VIEW called "Link Column" but if I put the "item:value" pair in the fields for this item's "ColumnLink" attributes, there is no effect.
Also for bonus points...
how do you make the ICON VIEW attributes, "HTML ALT Text" and "HTML TITLE Text" dynamic e.g. &ITEM. doesn't work here.
thanks in advance
Paul P

For your link column, parse a link column in your query like so
apex_util.prepare_url('f?p=M:53:'||:APP_SESSION||'::::P53_IMAGE_ID:'||i.image_id)Scott

Download of saved views of an interactive report

Hi all
When I am on a saved view of an interactive report and choose 'Download', I always get the data of the actual worksheet but not that form the saved report.
Has anyone a solution of this problem?
best regards

Hi Dan
that posting contains a good deal of information about REPORT_ID of an IR on rebuild environment or updating application, but nothing about saving IRs to file.
But in the meantime I detect the following issues:
1. using the Repot Id Item of Advanced Attributes, you get the behavior I had described above.
2. if you keep Repot Id Itemr of Advanced Attributes clean, the current view of the IR is downloaded to the file.
3. Therfore I thing, that the given REPORT_ID in the Item set in Repot Id Item of Advanced Attributes is only saved once, when loading the page, but not when the current view is changed by asynchronous javascripts (AJAX function apex.worksheet.ws.pull). But the funktion for downloading data of IR (apex.worksheet.ws.download ? - body of function is emty) uses the content of that item obviously.
I had a look at that scripts, but don't found the link between a variable of javascript and the Repot Id Item. For this reason I wasn't able to check this by eding the javascript of APEX; but I think this will be the only way to get the expected behavior.
Best regards

IMAGE Blob from a View into an Interactive Report.

I am creating an interactive report from a view. Two tables of interest make up the view:
Customers (ID, Name, Logo, Mimetype, Filename, Last_Update_Date)
Projects (ID, Title, CustomerID)
The view combines them both into
QryProjectDashboard (ID, Title, CustomerID, CustomerLogo, LogoMimetype, LogoFilename, LogoLastUpdateDate)
I hope the joins and such are obvious.
In setting up the report, I add all the columns above from the view. In the Customer Logo field settings, I was trying to set up the BLOB Download Format Mask which asks for:
1. Format Mask=Download
2. Blob Table = QryProjectDashboard
3. Bob Column = CustomerLogo
4. Primary Key 1 = CustomerID
5. MimeType Col = LogoMimeyype
6. Filename Col = LogoFilename
7. Blob Last Udate Col = LogoLastUpdateDate
8. Content disposition = Inline
9. Download Link Text = DOWNLOAD
Btw, I use all caps in the views and input fields and double checked all the spelling.
Clicking Apply in the Mask format window is ok, but when I click Apply in the Column Definition window, it complains "QryProjectDashboard" does not exist. So it doesn't seem to like the view.
So is the problem with using a view? how do I wire up the Blob if the report is based on a view? All the foreign keys are set up and there are no known priv issues.

Thanks, that worked, but of course I don't like it... it just feels like a hack. I would prefer to keep ID name in my query to point to the main table instead of the child table.
Also, note that you need to use the function dbms_lob.getlength around the BLOB column to convert it to a number.
A description of this can be found on the thread:

How to create more than one default view on an interactive report

Hi Guys
This links to a previous thread of mine, but is a new specific question.
When you create an interactive report, you can select loads of columns, and then define one default report, containing only certain columns and filters etc.. The user can then continue and create their own saved reports, but these are only available for the specific user.
I would like to be able to create multiple of these "default" reports, that are available to all users, but run of one interactive report dataset.
I hope this is clear.
Thanks
Marissa

Limitation of interactive report...only one per page.
So you need to create multiple pages and in each page you can have one report. Depending on the condition /criteria you can show the
page and for the end user your appln is dynamic. Make sure to create all pages of same/similar look.

How to enable detail view interactive report as default for public user?

Hello all,
I'm currently developing a search results page.
I'm trying to do a nice view instead of a default table like view from the interactive reports. So in this case i enabled the detail view so i could make fancy designs.
all worked well and looked neat but however when i pass value from my search page using IR_ROWFILTER and clear the results page using page_no,RIR, it brings me to the interactive reports result page with the default table like view.
i have to press the detail view to get it. i tried saving it as default but it wont work. this issue is for public user.
if i make the page requires authentication, and save the detail view as default i would not have any problem. i could search and it will straightly bring to the detail view of the search page.
of course the other reason i found is because im using the IR_ROWFILTER and clearing page using page_no,RIR..without it,it works well but i need it coz im doing a a search result. i need to send search text from another page and put it in the filter in the search page. i would need to use RIR to clear it for searching again.
is this a limitation for public user? it doesnt happened for authenticated user though..
how can i make this view as default for public user?

Flip the report into Detail view on page load using an Page Load dynamic action with the following Execute JavaScript Code true action:
gReport.data.view('DETAIL');
I'm trying to do a nice view instead of a default table like view from the interactive reports. So in this case i enabled the detail view so i could make fancy designs.
Do you really need this to be an IR? Other than the detail layout, do you require any of the interactive features? If not, try using a standard report with a custom report template.

Interactive Report Icons

Greetings.
I am using APEX 4.0.2
I have an interactive report. When I try to change it to Icon view, I receive the following error:

Hello
1. When I've hidden some columns in the interactive report and clicked the icon, it does not display hidden column details. But I want to hide those columns only in the report but displays all details when the icon is clicked. How can I do this?You can create another region, or page that will show your row description by identifier or rowid. You can do this by changing Link Column type to "Link to Custom Target"
2. How can I hide the icons?Go to Interactive Report -> Link Column -> Link Column change to (Exclude Link Column)
3. How can I use the icons not to display line details but to direct to an editable page to edit the same details?The same as answer 1.

Interactive Report with PL/SQL Function Source

Is it possible to create interactive report with PL/SQL function source returing a query? If not, has anyone done any work to simulate the interactive reporting feature for a normal report using API?

I haven't tried that before but you could:
1. create a collection from your result set returned by a dynamic query,
2. create a view on that collection,
3. use the view in your interactive report.
The usability of this proposal depends from a question how "dynamic" your query is - does it always have the same number of columns or not.

Interactive Report - aggregate with hide - bug or feature?

We are in the process of converting existing reports to Interactive Reports (IR), and adding a bunch of new ones. We ran into a roadblock when using IR with aggregates. To
reproduce, I created a test table with region, state, county, city and population columns. I created an interactive report, CONTROL BREAK on "Region", aggregate (SUM) on
population. The result looked like this.

Result #1:

Region: West
************
State County City Population
CA Orange County Irvine 100
CA Orange County Orange 200
CA Los Angeles Hollywood 300
CA Los Angeles Universal City 400
 Sum 1,000
When I clicked on City column, and chose to hide it, I expected the IR to resummarize the result to look like this:

Result #2:

Region: West
************
State County Population
CA Orange County 300
CA Los Angeles 700
 Sum 1,000
But what I saw was this:

Result #3:

Region: West
************
State County Population
CA Orange County 100
CA Orange County 200
CA Los Angeles 300
CA Los Angeles 400
 Sum 1,000
The data in the above result #3 is not presented the in way it should be for the users to comprehend.

In the non-interactive version, we display checkboxes for the users to show and hide the columns. If the column "City" is set by the user to "Hide", then we use the
condition on the column to hide the City column from the report, and use the query "SELECT ..., CASE WHEN :P10_SHOW_CITY = 'YES' THEN city ELSE NULL END As city, SUM
(population) FROM .. " to summarize the data. This displays results like the one shown in Result #2.

1. Shouldn't IR re-summarize the data to display results like I have shown in Result #2 when a column is hidden? We are able to achieve this with non-interactive version. Is this a
bug in IR?

2. Is there a way to get interactive report to display results like the way I have shown in Result #2?

3. Is there a way to retrieve the columns that are set to "HIDE" in IR so that we can modify our SQL to resummarize?

Script to reproduce:

Create table test_ir(
 region varchar2(50),
 state varchar2(50),
 county varchar2(50),
 City varchar2(50),
 population number(4))
insert into test_ir(region, state, county, city, population) values
('West', 'CA', 'Orange County', 'Irvine', 100)
insert into test_ir(region, state, county, city, population) values
('West', 'CA', 'Orange County', 'Orange', 200)
insert into test_ir(region, state, county, city, population) values
('West', 'CA', 'Los Angeles', 'Hollywood', 300)
insert into test_ir(region, state, county, city, population) values
('West', 'CA', 'Los Angeles', 'Universal City', 400)
select region, state, county, city, population from test_ir 
Thanks. 
 
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
When you add a control break, we do not re-generate the query to do group by. We just do control breaks. In the current version of APEX, to achieve what you are trying to see, you need to create an Interactive report with group by clause. If you want to use a dynamic query, the solution I suggest will not work.
The good news is in APEX 4.0, we are working to include group by view to an Interactive Report. This will let you select group by columns and aggregate functions to get the Result #2 you are trying to get.
If you wish to see how this works, we will be able to show if you come to APEXposed 2008, October 29 - 30, at Chicago O'Hare Wyndham.

Problem with column groups on Interactive Report

Hi
I am hoping that someone can help with this problem.
I am attempting to control both the grouping and ordering within each group of fields in the single row view of an interactive report. Creating column groups appears to be OK at first (sequence, name and description) but if I then attempt to edit the group, the sequence box appears to be empty even though it was filled with a unique number at the time of creating the group.
In addition, any changes to the order of the fields within the group made using the shuttle box at the bottom of the screen don't seem to be saved even to the Apply Changes button is pressed.
Anybody know what is happening here and can anyone suggest how to control both the order of the groups and ordering within each group?
Thanks in anticipation

Interactive Report Issue - Control Brake for Group By

Hi all,
is it possible to create "Control Brake" for the Group By view of the interactive report?
I have the following IR with group by (Take a look at the GROUP BY View!!!): https://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=2071:212
Now I would like disable the lines with repetitive values. The report should be the following:
CPU Type    CPU Speed    Count (CPU Types)

Celeron           366                    1

Display Button depending on selected saved interactive report

Hi all,
I have two saved public views of my interactive report. Now I want to show Button 1, when View 1 is shown and Button 2 only when View 2 is shown.
Is there a possibility to get this working???
Thanks
chrissy
Edited by: chrissy2 on 06.09.2012 12:17

this seems to be a way to get this working ... but what happens in translated applications? I don't know if we can translate "Public Report Names"? Do they appear in translation file?
I think I will fetch the value of the selected item, which should be the internal report id and search database for the report alias of this report id.Yes, I confirm that option value of select list are same as report_id. You can get the report_id using following query.
select report_id, report_name, report_alias from APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT where application_id = <app_id>and page_id = <page_id> and status = 'PUBLIC'<li>When we use same application id for DEV and PROD, then report_id value didn't changed. You may check how this behaves with different application ids.
<li>Also I think, report_alias stays as constant irrespective of workspace or application_id. Its my guess. :)
Please update how it goes.

Interactive Report Source Issue (Speed Related)

Hi,
I'm having a bit of an issue with an interactive report that forms the basis of an app i am creating. This was running fine until i decided to switch up the number of test rows from 100k to 5 million. The source for the report is as follows
SELECT
a.field_1,
a.field_2,
a.field_3,
a.field_4,
a.field_5,
a.field_6,
a.field_7
FROM
table_a a
where
(a.field_1 = :P1_VARIABLE_1
or :P1_VARIABLE_1 is null)
and (a.field_2 = :P1_VARIABLE_2
or :P1_VARIABLE_2 is null)
and (a.field_3 = :P1_VARIABLE_3
or :P1_VARIABLE_3 is null)This takes about 60 seconds to run in the application environment when the variables are populated (far too slow) and less than 1 second when the variables are null. So far i have been unable to recreate this issue in PLSQL developer, i.e. when i run this query with substituted values for the variables it runs fine, the issue only occurs when running in the application. The search fields are indexed and i don't think this is the problem. I have changed the where clause of the query to the following:
where
a.field_1 = :P1_VARIABLE_1
and a.field_2 = :P1_VARIABLE_2
and a.field_3 = :P1_VARIABLE_3and this also runs in less than a second both in and out of apex (only with populated variables, without there are no results which is why i can't use this..), which i found very confusing. Has anyone come across any similar problems to this before? I really don't understand what's going on!
Here's some of the debug:
select
       null as apxws_row_pk,
       "FIELD_1",
       "FIELD_2",
       "FIELD_3",
       "FIELD_4",
       "FIELD_5",
       "FIELD_6",
