Filter Interactive Report by a Hidden Column

Hi, I would like to know if you can filter an IR by a hidden column?

This javascript does the trick:
$('th#HIDDEN_DETAILS').css('display', 'none');
$('td[headers="HIDDEN_DETAILS"]').css('display', 'none');Then just ensure you save that column to your default IR report and any others where the users need this filter available.

Interactive Report - Include Non-selected Column in Row Text Search

Hi,
We have an interactive report that contains many columns. NAME VARCHAR2(30), TYPE VARCHAR2(30) etc and DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(4000).
Normally the DECRIPTION column would not be shown (avalilable for dispaly via 'Select Columns' but not selected), however we need the default Row Text Search (ie direct entry into the search field instead of creating a column filter) to search the DESCRIPTION field wether it is selected for display or not.
This will allow the user to enter a term that may be contained in the DESCRIPTION to find records without trying to display a 4000 character field in the report - which just looks horrible.
We are using ApEx 4.1.1.
Thanks,
Martin Figg

Hi Ray,
As I expected this has got us very close. We went with the code:
select
facility_id,
facility_name,
'<span title="' || facility_desc|| '">'||substr(facility_desc,0,50)||decode(sign(length( facility_desc)-50),1,' (More...)',NULL)||'</span>' facility_desc,
equipment_id,
equipment_name,
'<span title="' || equipment_desc|| '">'||substr(equipment_desc,0,50)||decode(sign(length( equipment_desc)-50),1,' (More...)',NULL)||'</span>' equipment_desc,
from
rf_full_item_list_vwhich works well. The only issue is that when you download to csv you get the html tags etc as well. Put I am a lot closer to a solution than we were.
Thanks again.
Martin

Interactive Report filtering with hidden item column names

I have created an Interactive Report and changed some of the default column headings by using hidden Items with appropriate title. However, when I look at the filter option in the "Gear" drop-down, the only column names which appear are the default ones. There are blank lines for the columns using hidden Items. Any suggestions for having the hidden item content appear in the filter column name list?
Thanks,
George

George,
What is it you're actually trying to do here? Maybe there's an easier way?
Hidden items aren't going to show up in the Column List.
I'm guessing you're trying to separate a long list of column names using '----------' or something like that? We're looking to do just that in our application, but obviously we don't want to users selecting these dummy entries. We tried using the IR column groups, but those make the list look even more cluttered IMHO. (Plus setting the sort order w/in the groups doesn't seem to affect the drop-down column lists, which seems counter-intuitive to me).
If anyone has other suggestions for breaking up the column list display, I could use something immediately (going into beta-test in 2 weeks!).
Thanks,
Stew

Interactive Report Attributes: Missing a column?

This is for Application Express 3.2.1.00.12
I'm working on a report with the columns pulled in a SQL statement in the Region Definition section of the Interactive Report Attributes screen. We want to alter the column names so they are more user friendly, so on the Report Attributes tab, I'm looking for the column name we wish to alter, but it is not showing up. Now, in the final report, the column is visible with the header from the name of the column from the database, so the system is aware of the column and can display it, but for some reason we can't see it in the Report Attributes tab.
Why would a column be invisible or inaccessible in the Report Attributes tab? There are 100 columns displayed in the Report Attributes: Column Attributes section. Is that the reason I'm missing some columns; 100 is a hard column limit on that page?
Thanks in advance for all help you can provide.

Hi,
You are almost right place. You need click icon before 100th column name, order to go screen where you can edit column attributes.
In that screen right top is buttons (Cancle, Apply, < and >)

Interactive Report Downloads only showing Column Headings

I have an Interactive Report that is selecting more than 100 columns. I set the defulat to only show a few of the columns (the rest are dedaulted to not show). When I try the download option (pdf, rtf etc.) , it only shows the column headers (no data). The download works when you originally create the Report region with the SQL statement. It seems to break as soon as you do the 'Save Report' - 'As default Report Settings'. Anybody seen this before? It is a bug?

Interactive Report - Display New/Changed Columns

Hi,
when I add or change a column in Interactive Reports, APEX doesn't show me the new column automatically.
Everytime the user log in, he has to go on "Actions" and "Select Columns" manually, otherwise the new/changed column won't be displayed.
How can I do that the column is displayed automatically after login?
I am using APEX 4.0.2.00.07.
Regards,
Marc

Either you, as a Developer, can save the report as Public.
Or an aithorized user can save the report as a General/Shared Report.
Or the user can save the report as a Private one.
Pick the columns you/user wants to see. Then [Action -> Save]

Interactive report, conditional display of column link

Hello,
We have requirement to disable editing in case that status of field is 1 (1=Closed).
Is there any way to disable it on interactive report.
case when status=1 column link should be disabled (not visible) in order to prevent future edits on payroll.
SELECT payroll_no, status
FROM hr_payroll
ORDER BY payroll_no DESC;
I tried link below, but it's not working in my case.

What exactly is the error you get? What HTML is showing in the HTML source?
Just by looking at this I would say you need to remove the "/" in front of the f?p
Keep in mind this way could cause problems if you start to use checksum, then you might want to look into using APEX_UTIL.PREPARE_URL to create your URL.

Is it possible to sort an interactive report with a default column ?

Hi,
I have a nice request used with an interactive report.
select "ID",
"DATE_CREATION",
"SERVICE",
"RESPONSABLE",
"NATURE_CONTRAT",
"SOCIETE",
"DATE_DEBUT",
"DATE_FIN",
"DELAI_RENOUVELLEMENT"
from "#OWNER#"."CONTRATS_MAINTENANCE"
order by DATE_FIN descUnfortunately, the interactive report does not displays using the order into the SLQ query.
I tried to de select the "sort" option of each other columns into the Column attributes Section, but without any improvement. If I remove the order statement from the SQL query, nothing changes in the order.
Do you have an idea on how to display the lines in the order of the sql query ?
Thank you for your knid answers !
Chrstian

Christian,
This can be a little tricky at first. Try this:
1. Remove the order by clause from the query.
2. Log out of the application, not the builder, just the application.
3. Log back in and try using the options in the interactive report to sort the information.
Does it work? If so:
4. Get the order the way you would like it as the default. Note: you get more sort options if you use the Action Menu (grind wheel) and selecting Sort over just clicking the column headers.
5. Save the report by selecting the Save Report option from the Action Menu. If you see a drop down, save the report as the "default".
6. Log out of the application again and back in.
Does it work?

Dan

Default Show Filter Interactive Report

Hi,
When going to a page that has an Interactive Report is it possible to have the filter shown by default.
I have a page that is accessed via a modal popup that contains an Interactive Report that is used as a filter for the original page so when the user goes to that page all the user will do is add filters so I want to display the filter option by default.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Easiest way is use from Google.
Add to page HTML header or page template header before #HEAD# substitution
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">google.load("jquery","1.4.4");</script>Alternative see e.g. this

Can interactive report have 2 "special" columns?

I have an interactive report on which I have placed a column for redirecting to a detail form. But I want to, also, put a column that will contain a button which will perform an action (update 2 columns in db). This way if the user wants to close the entry on the db they can click this button without having to go to the detail screen. So, they can go to the detail screen and close the entry or they can just click on the button to close the entry. I would love to have it be done with a right-mouse click menu but I suspect that is too much to ask which is why I thought the button might be ok.

I took a different approach but this might work for you...
On the interactive report, defined column1 as 'CheckBox' using this syntax:
Select APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,c.s_id) "s_id_checkbox", column2, column3 etc. from my table - Note: APEX_item.CHECKBOX can create the checkbox as 1st item on the IR report
once the item is defined, set the item header in the 'Report Attributes' tab to: <input type="checkbox" onclick="$f_CheckFirstColumn(this)" title="Select"/> and column type: Standard Report column - This will give the each row of the IR check/uncheck facility for the user. Make sure when you run the IR in developer mode, to 'Select' the newly defined 'checkbox' column in the 'Actions' menu and Save the report as 'Public' report. Also, move the newly-defined 'check-box' column as 1st column to display on the IR.
Introduce a button Item on the IR Page, that will submit a page process. Write your PLSQL procedure or DML calls in this page process, for performing your database operation on your list of 'checked items'
Page Process upon button submit: Code Example only. You may need to implement as per your reqs.DECLARE
v_request VARCHAR2(100) := v('REQUEST');
v_count pls_integer;
v_selected_item_id pls_integer;
BEGIN
:P1_PROCESS_MSG := NULL; --This should be set the page processes 'success' and 'error' message properties to &P1_PROCESS_MSG. (Define new item P1_PROCESS_MSG on your page of IR)
IF v_request = 'YOUR_BUTTONS_REQUEST_NAME' THEN
--//Process each user selection via the PLSQL page process api call
FOR i in 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP
v_count := v_count+1;
BEGIN
v_selected_item_id := APEX_APPLICATION.G_F02(i);
--// CALL_YOUR_PLSQL_PACKAGE or Custom DML BY PASSING THE USER SELECTED RECORD_ID TO PERFORM YOUR DATABASE DML and by using the 'v_selected_item_id' as a parameter or DML condition to perform your database DML action.
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
:P1_PROCESS_MSG := SQLERRM;
END;
END LOOP;
END IF;
EXCEPTION HANDLER..
:P1_PROCESS_MSG := SQLERRM;
END;
Usage:
User runs the IR, checks on the records he/she wants to do the 'close' then clicks on the new button that does the 'multiple-close' for the records of choice. He/she can select just-1-row and do the same dml operation by clicking on a button that you defined on this IR Report's page.
Also, if the above approach is not viable, you can create a 'f?p...' column link on your IR's main query to submit the page upon user-click. But, I've seen the above approach lot more liked by users.

Passing parameter from interactive report column link to new page

I'm very simply trying to pass the value of the column link to the where clause on the next page.
Interactive Report on P2 has column link fid alias in sql query.
I read somewhere to refer prefix the interactive report column with IR ??
So I have item name P2_FID, value #FID#. Anyway, I've tried a kazillion things.
Created a hidden item with same source value... sigh.
Is there a syntax to refer to a report column link, rather than an item_id in a region where clause?
Is there a simple direct way to do this?
Thanks,
Pamela
-----pls/apex/f?p=163:1:2746459963336955::NO::P2_FID:119

Thank you Varad...
Unfortunately, I am still getting no data found. (and there IS data).
a) Do you mean in the link column section of the report attributes? that is done: item 1 name= IR_P2_FID, value = #FID#
b) Do you mean my changing my hidden page item to ir_p2_fid with its source value as #FID# ? also done.
Do I need this hidden item?, and if not how do I refer to link in the where clause of the called page's sql region?
3) Where Fishery_id = :IR_P2_FID
Where Fishery_id = &IR_P2_FID
Thanks again!

Interactive report column filters drop Ampersands

We have interactive reports that include a column called status, and one of the values for status is R&R. The values are displayed properly in the report, but when the user selects the stats column filter, the value in the list is simply displayed as R, i.e. the &R has been dropped. It is 4.02.07.
Is this a known issue? if not, what is the process for submitting it as a defect?
Edited by: user12979818 on Jul 29, 2011 9:12 AM

Please then SEARCH THE FORUM.. If you think this is a defect of the tool...
Escaping the "&" character
Now instead of complaining that the tool is broken, you can also fix it by using this for your LOV..
If your LOV is dynamic (table driven) you could use this:
SELECT utl_url.escape(Display_Column,TRUE) Display Column, Returned_Column FROM LOV_TABLE;
{CODE}
Please note from this document, that & is a RESERVED/SPECIAL CHARACTER with HTML... Thus it needs be dealt with accordingly..

Unable to filter the report by clicking the last column's name

Hi,
I have interactive report page having lots of column. All columns were not fitting in the screen so I added a code in the region--- header and footer section---
<div style="overflow: auto; width: 1220px; height: 700px;">
I got a scroll bar at the bottom. But a new problem arised. When I am trying to filter the report by clicking the column name in the report page , a popup is opening for the first column but the pop up is not opening for the last column. For the middle columns, the popup is opening but not below its name. This pop is for filtering the report based on that columns.
Please give some idea to fix this bug.
Thanks,
Chandra Bhanu

You could try to display as many columns as fit your screen, and put the rest of your columns as form fields in a detail view, somewhat like this:

Please tell the steps how to do it.
