Enhancement request: Quick edit links for column attributes

It would be really nice if columns in report regions had that little Quick Edit icon (turned on by Show Edit Links on the developer toolbar) to go directly to the Column Attributes page.
It gets to be a real pain to click on Edit Page, click on the Region, then Report Attributes, and finally click on the Column to get to that point!
Thanks

quick edit features will be greatly enhanced in the next version
Carl: By "next version", are you referring to Version 3.0? Your response was prior to 2.0 being released but I don't see any enhancements in this area in either 2.0 or 2.2. [Well, yes, the Quick Edit link image has changed but that's about it!]
Can you clarify what you meant? Thanks

  • Enhancement request: Bulk edit features

    As much as I love Apex and think it is the greatest thing since sliced bread (what's so great about sliced bread anyway!), after one gains a certain amount of proficiency with using the tool, one realizes that there are many areas where the Builder application simply gets in your way. You know exactly what you want to do, you know how to do it, but the Apex Builder doesn't support a "do this 20 times" feature!
    For instance
    1. Deleting multiple pages - This came up on another thread recently. The Builder makes you click 2 buttons (Delete and Confirm) to delete a page and then takes you to page 0 (or the previous page or something) and then you need to go back to the next page and repeat the process.
    There should be a "delete multiple pages" feature in the Builder
    2. Creating a list - I have a bunch of links/URLs that I would like to create a list from. The Builder interface (tabular form) has us add each list entry at a time.
    I would prefer that it has a honking big textarea where I could dump all the links at once and it creates all the list entries at once. I could always go and tweak individual entries if I like.
    Same thing for adding to other Shared components like LOVs, breadcrumbs, tabs, etc. I am not saying a textarea-based interface would work for everything, but anything has to be better than doing it one by one.
    3. Access to the Report Column Attributes page - This is too painful to access.
    Click on Edit page, click on Report, click on the column you want. 3 clicks!
    Instead, there should be a Quick Edit link next to each report column when the page is run that pops up the same page.
    4. Attaching a authorization scheme (or condition or build option or any applicable thing really) to a bunch of components at once.
    The Builder should have a nifty search page where we could search/filter (by name, component type, page#, etc) for the components we want and then allow us to apply a an "action" (i.e. auth. scheme) to all the selected components at once. Doing this one by one is error-prone, time-consuming and just plain boring!
    That's all that comes to mind at this time, I am sure others will have more.
    Thanks

    Mike: Thanks for responding.
    1. You misunderstand what I wrote about report columns. Marc Sewtz understood what I meant at Re: Enhancement request: Quick edit links for column attributes
    is very easy to bulk change (on the back end); the hard part is devising the proper screens for bulk change (font end)
    2. Absolutely, agree 100%. Which is why it might make sense for Oracle to expose metadata manipulation APIs (apex_metadata package similar to dbms_metadata!) so that power users can effect changes to the application metadata without going through the Builder at all!
    We talked about this at Bulk edit items
    Many of the application reports allow for bulk change operations
    Right, but realistically speaking, you can never anticipate and build screens for all the things we would like to do. Which is why a command-line API would be invaluable.
    Just recently, I needed to change a bunch of HTML regions' templates in a application from Report Region to Hide/Show template. I couldn't find an application report/bulk edit page that let me do this, it was quite painful to do in the Builder.
    Another case in point: I used the "Form on SQL Query" wizard to quickly create a form page with a bunch of fields. But unfortunately, unlike the "Form on Table wizard", this wizard is not smart enough to create page items with a display-as depending on the datatype of the columns in the query. It creates all the form items as Text Fields. :-( There is no bulk-edit page (that I could find) that lets me change the display-as property for multiple items.
    If you or others have UI sugestions
    3. As you may know, whenever I think of something that the Apex product could benefit from (an enhancement request IMHO), I post a thread on the forum with a subject line that clearly indicates as such.
    To summarize, here they are:

  • How to hide edit link for  some rows in report? (according to value of col)

    Helo,
    How to hide edit link for some rows in report? (according to value of column)
    regards
    siyavuş

    Hi siyavuş
    You can do this by taking the edit link off the report and putting it into your report SQL.
    Use something like Select CASE WHEN (condition)  THEN
    'Put your edit link in here as an html Anchor like<a href="(target)">Edit</a>'
    ELSE
    tt.value
    END edit_link
    FROM test_table tthope it helps,

  • Edit link for Report with form

    Hi, I create report on Page1 with form on Page2 using Wizard. For this reports select always returns me only one record. On my report I see edit image, it has records 'id' value and branching me to Page2.
    I need edit link on another region in Page1. But I can't to assign for this link the same 'id' value for editing my record in Page2. How can I do it?
    Thanks!
    Kira.

    Kira,
    You are right, doing things this way is messy. One approach is to write APIs to support your data model. All queries/DML against tables should be done with these APIs. Having two levels of APIs has worked well for many applications: a transaction-level API (modules like fetch_empl_vacation_history, update_org_roles_master, create_incident_report) and a table-level API (modules like fetch_emp_rec, update_emp_rec, create_emp_rec). Transaction APIs call table APIs and table APIs do queries and DML against base tables. A typical page like the one you described might have one transaction-level API call to do the fetch from all the tables and populate all the page items in session state and one transaction-level API call after submit to perform the logical transaction that updates all the affected tables. APIs like these must also handle concurrency using an optimistic locking model. To repeat, the automatic row fetch and DML processing processes built into HTML DB are not intended to manage complex, multi-table transactions.
    You can create table-level APIs using SQL Workshop->Tasks Menu(Create Database Object)->Package->Build a package with methods on database table(s). If you experiment with that, some of this should make more sense.

  • Page Component View - Enhancement Request

    Minor enhancement request:
    Add a link directly to the Javascript section of the Page attributes, similar to HTML Header, Template etc.
    This would also have the benefit of being able to determine if functions were declared in this section w/out having to drill into the page.
    Thanks!

    Hi plantm,
    After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it. After we change a column name which is used in a Power View chart, Power view will render the message that” The external data connection has been disabled for this Power View report. Please enable
    the connection.” when we reopen the file.
    To fix this issue, we can click Refresh button under POWER VIEW menu, then it would prompt us that” Power View was not able to complete the action due to a query failure. This can happen if the structure of your data has changed, in which case closing and
    re-opening the application will resolve the problem.”
    According to the error message, we should try to reopen the file to fix this issue. Power view will render the message that” Please refresh to see the data for this Power View Sheet. You can set properties in the Connection Properties dialog so that the
    data refreshes automatically when you open the file.” when we reopen the file. Then we can refresh it again, the report will be displayed without that field.
    Based on my research, inherently what the message means is that Power View cannot be used as a tool for snapshot reporting. With an Excel PivotTable, we can see the data last saved in the PivotTable. Power View, however, does not behave the same way – it
    won’t render the last saved state. If we want to avoid this message when we reopen the file, there are two methods:
    When we create the Power View report, we can select the checkbox that “Refresh data when opening the file”.
    After it’s been set up, go to Connections on the Data menu, then choose Properties.
    For more details about the settings, we can refer to the following blog:
    http://www.sqlchick.com/entries/2013/3/30/creating-a-power-view-report-in-excel-2013-which-uses-an-ext.html

  • Folder region edit links disappear!

    All,
    3.0.7.6.2 + 8.1.6.2 NT 4.0
    Created a custom tabset and added it as a portlet to the content area page. then moved the nav bar and folder portlets around. Now when I go to edit the folder style (to edit the folder layout), I don't see the edit links for the folder regions.
    I did this twice and get the same problem. Also, when I click on the edit defaults for the content area folder (while editing the CA page), I get a no data found error. I am able to edit defaults for the nav bar.
    Any tips ?
    Thanks

    Jerry,
    I tried this in multiple ways and have been able to narrow it down to the following case - "It occurs only if you have more than one regions in your page that is placed in place of the Navigation bar portlet". Please try the following steps and see if you can reproduce the bug...
    1. Create a page and
    a) select the Display No Banner option in the Main tab.
    b) add a new region to the page(Now there will be two regions). Don't place any portlet on the page.
    c) select the Publish as Portlet option for the page.
    d) save the page and go back to Navigator.
    2. Create a new content area.
    a) Edit the page of this new content area and remove the Navigation bar portlet.
    b) Now add the page created in step #1 (above) to the region where the Navigation portlet was.
    c) Save the content area page and go back to Navigator
    3. Click on the contents for the content area created above
    a) select the Styles.
    b) Click on the Edit link for the style
    c) select the Folder Layout tab.
    .... do you see the "Edit Folder Region" icons in the folder portlet?

  • Sort alphabetically a lookup column in 'Quick edit'

    Hi Everyone,
    I've had this problem for a long time now and have not been able to get it working. I have a List with several fields, one of them is a Drop-down list with a lookup field linked to another list called 'Customers' which has two fields 'ID' and 'Customer'.
    If I create a 'New Item' the field 'Customer' is sorted alphabetically in ascending order by 'Customer', also in the list it's the same (which is what I want) however if I try to edit with the 'Quick Edit' button the lookup column is not sorted by 'Customer'
    but by 'ID'  and the users are complaining about this this there are more than 1,000 fields. Funny thing is as I already explained, if you create a 'New Item' or 'Edit Item' it works and is sorted as it should, only the lookup in 'Quick Edit' is sorted
    by ID.
    I already attempted the following and still no luck. I would very much appreciate the help.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to.
    There is no out of the box way to accomplish this with SharePoint.
    By design in SharePoint, the lookup column is sorted by ID in 'Quick edit'.
    When you click the dropdown icon, the HTML Table will be appeared.
    You can use JQuery to sort the Table.

  • Enhancement request for more fine-grained templates

    JHeadstart version : 10.1.2.0
    I like to have the possibility to define templates on the level of table rows. If I am correct, currently the 'lowest' level of a .jtt template is the $FORM_ITEMS$ token. According to the userguide this token "is used to indicate the place where a form must be generated". My question is now: How can I influence this generation process? For example, I want to embed text-items within <c:if's in order to conditionally set a text-item attribute. Am I right to conclude that on this "deeper" level of a jsp (for instance table-row level), it is not possible to define templates?
    If so, I want to request an enhancement for a further 'fine-graining' of the templating technique.
    Thanks and greetings, Erik

    Erik,
    Yes, this is not possible in he current release.
    Your enhancement request has already been implemented for the JDev10.1.3/Faces release. We will the support two kinds of tokens, one that outputs all items as it is today ($FORM_ITEMS$ or $TABLE_ITEMS$), and one token that refers to an individual item. This reference can be bpoth on index number and name:
    FORM_ITEM_1 or
    FORM_ITEM_DepartmentName
    This will allow you to layout the items exactly as you want.
    Note that in the 10.1.3 release, we will also support item-level templates where you can add code to conditonally render items.

    Hi
    Read this and follow it...
    >
    Go to the report attributes, then click on the edit link button by the side of the column you want to be a link to get to the column attributes.
    >
    So...
    1. Go to edit the page that contains your report.
    2. Click on the report region as if you were going to edit the report query.
    3. Click the Report Attributes tab.
    4. Click the button at the side of the column in question.
    5. Scroll down to the Column Link section and fill in the details.
    I really can't put it much more simply than that...

  • Requesting links for Weblogic Server 8.1 (sp5) binaries for all platforms.

    This might seem like a brazen request, but could someone provide me a link for Weblogic 8.1 (sp5) binaries. . .It seems unreasonable to spend $2,000 just to download a product version no longer supported by Oracle. The fact of the matter is that my client and my client's third-party staging server deploys their application in Weblogic 8.1 (sp5); believe me, if I had the authority and range of control to update my client's staging server and production server I would.
    Regards,
    Chuck
    Edited by: user11226438 on Jun 3, 2009 7:33 AM
    Ok, I found a majority of Weblogic's 8.1 (sp6) links. . .do you think developing on sp6 and deploying to sp5 will cause some issues? I'm supposing it won't and while the client has yet to deliver the application, the app server, documentation, or any other required materials, I'd at least like to get an environment that is compliant with their staging server's environment before-hand.
    Edited by: user11226438 on Jun 3, 2009 9:38 AM
    If anyone thinks that I will need to acquire a license for running (a sanboxed) version of Weblogic please let me know so I can inform my employer accordingly.

    If MQ V5 clients cannot interoperate with MQ V7 servers, then perhaps MQ V6 clients support the 1.4 JVM? If so, I suppose you can use an MQ V6 client to communicate with V7.
    Alternatively, perhaps MQ's "extended transactional client" provides more flexibility in interoperability than the client you're using.
