Flexible Report - choose the cols (and # of cols) on the fly - PDF

Hi
I have a user community who would like to be able to choose the columns in a "Flexible Report" when they want to run a report to output to the browser, and then to PDF.
Now, I've played around a bit with setting up a number of page items - say 5 - called COL1..COL5 and setting the values from list-boxes and then running a report SQL:-
Select :col1 COL1,
:col5 COL5
from my_table
etc.
This produces the data, but its pretty tacky and the column names are COL1, COL2.... - also tacky, and the number of columns is fixed.
Anyone got any slick ideas on how to do this so the column names and # are variable?
I have tried a javascript example (posted elsewhere in the forum) that runs the report with all it's columns, and allows the columns to be shown / hidden depending on the state of a ccheckbox. This is very cool but it doesn't translate the flexibility to PDF output.
For those who have used Discoverer - I need a mini-Discoverer reportwriter!!
Any input greatfully received - Thanks in anticipation.
Mike

Report the date and time of all the systems reporting to sccm

Hi,
We have a requirement to report the date and time of all the systems reporting to SCCMnot sure if this is possible.
Appreciate any help regarding this.
Thanks

Not sure I understand what you are asking. Do you want to get the date/time for the last hardware inventory, heartbeat discovery etc?

HT5973 Maps has errors in it. It shows my subdivision with all of the houses, but shows the streets and street names in the middle of a field about a mile down the road. How do I report this to get it fixed.

How do I get errors in Maps corrected? It shows the subdivision I live in, The streets and houses are in the correct place, however it does not name the streets. It then shows the correct street names in the middle of a field about a mile down the street from my subdivision.

How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?

How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?
You need your password to delete it and I need the email address to reset the password. I feel like I'm going in circles!!! Please help!!!

Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account). You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Hey there Luba_kalstad,
It sounds like you are unable to join your network and cannot see it in the Wi-Fi list in Settings. I would try the troubleshooting outlined in this article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
And this section down toward the bottom if needed:
Unable to locate a Wi-Fi network
Verify that the network is available by tapping Settings > Wi-Fi and choosing from the available networks.Note: It may take a few seconds for the Wi-Fi network name to appear.
Move closer to your wireless router (access point) and attempt to locate the Wi-Fi network.
If you do not see the network you would like to join, you may be attempting to connect to a hidden network. Learn how to join a hidden network.
Supported Wi-Fi configurations vary by iOS device model. Find out which standards your device supports3.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

I have a 13 sec clip that gets shortened to .5 sec when I drop it into the project and can't adjust the destination to the source length

I created my clip from 3 PPT slides (as movies, one of the options) and it imports into the event browser fine. I am using the theme Forever is never long enough and it has little boxes where you are supposed to drop your clips. When I drop them in, the clip only plays for the destination duration time. If it is .5 sec but the source is 13 seconds, it won't let me adjust it to play the full 13 seconds. Anybody know how to adjust them?

It appears that you are using a Trailer (as distinct from a Theme). These are templates designed to give you a quick preview, similar to trailers you see at the movies. The clip lengths and music are all preset so that the video works perfectly in sync with the audio soundtrack. They are intended to be short, sharp and shiny - hence the very brief snippets of video employed, together with the accompanying matching music.
A Trailer template can't be altered unless you convert it to a standard project. To do this conversion, firstly, it's a good idea to duplicate the Trailer. In Project Library view (where all your projects are listed) click on the name of your project then from the menu select File>Duplicate Project. Now click on the duplicate and from the menu select File>Convert to Project. Now you can edit the converted duplicate Trailer just like a normal project - but bear in mind that changing the clip durations will cause the video to go out of sync with the supplied soundtrack.
Unless you are doing a highlights reel, your best option is to create a normal project from scratch, rather than using a Trailer template. When you create a new project you are given options as to whether you want to use a Theme or No Theme. Themes are quite different from Trailers and serve a different purpose. They help to spice up your video by introducing snazzy titles and transitions. You have complete flexibility as to clip lengths, transition styles, added music tracks and so forth.
Hope this helps to clear up any misunderstanding you may have regarding Trailers versus Themes.

Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download

After you have Recovered your Device...
Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...

It would depend on your definition of "Fix"
Your iPod touch running OS 4.2 has a ZOOM feature which will enable you to see the screen more clearly.
To turn Zoom on or off got to:
Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom and tap the Zoom On/Off switch.
_To Zoom in or out_:
Double-tap the screen with three fingers. By default, the screen is magnified 200 percent. If you manually change the magnification (by using the tap-and-drag gesture, described below), iPod touch automatically returns to that magnification when you zoom in by double-tapping with three fingers.
Increase magnification: With three fingers, tap and drag toward the top of the screen (to increase magnification) or toward the bottom of the screen (to decrease magnification). The tap-and-drag gesture is similar to a double-tap, except you don’t lift your fingers on the second tap—instead, drag your fingers on the screen. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger.
_Move around the screen_:
When zoomed in, drag or flick the screen with three fingers. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger so that you can see more of the screen. Hold a single finger near the edge of the display to pan to that side of the screen image. Move your finger closer to the edge to pan more quickly. When you open a new screen, Zoom always goes to the top-middle of the screen.
_Large Text_:
Large Text lets you make the text larger in alerts, and in Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages, and Notes. You can choose 20-point, 24-point, 32-point, 40-point, 48-point, or 56-point text.
Set the text size: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility, tap Large Text, then tap the text size you want.
I hope this has helped a little - other than this option I think it pretty much is what it is.
BTW - This information can be found on page 208 of the iPod Touch iOS 4.2 Users Guide.
Best wishes..
Ricky

Dear Govind,
You can use BEx based WAD tool to acheive it. Edit the chart in the chart properties dialog, goto settings & edit the property. As you have requested you created 2 tabs, one for chart, another for data, and as and when you do changes in the Analysis grid, the chart values get adjusted.
P.S. Humbly a personal opinion; I do not recommend WAD; use XCELCIUS instead.

my iphone has been lost in spain what can I do besides make a complaint to the police and lock it with the located iphone ?

The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
If locked with a passcode, all a thief or whoever finds it has to do is force the phone into recovery mode & restore it. While this deletes all data on the phone, it also removes the passcode so the phone can then be used as a phone or touch.
