Formating Bold Table Borders in a report template

I'm using the Alternating-Color-Rows template in my reports. Is it possible to group columns together using thicker table borders after specific columns. How would you set this up in the template? e.g.
| | || | | || | | ||
| | || | | || | | ||
| | || | | || | | ||
etc...

You do NOT save formatting to a CLOB type column, hence the C lob (Character). If you want to save a Word style document to a column, then look at a Blob (Binary)..

Retaining format of table borders of Help done in Robohelp 7 into RoboHelp 9

Does anyone know how to import or retain the properties of table borders/cells of a Compiled HTML Help Module that was generated in RoboHelp 7 into RoboHelp 9? I'm using RoboHelp 9 for my work and have to generate an HTML Help using RoboHelp 9. But the previous Help was generated in RoboHelp 7. When I have to generate the new Help in RoboHelp 9, this RoboHelp doesn't have the same properties of the table borders of the previous Help. Please help.

I'm still not sure about what you are using and were using in Rh7. Rh for Word has an HPJ file to open it, Rh HTML has an XPJ file. They are different from an HHP file which is also a Rh HTML file.
Both generate CHMs so once we are certain about that Rh HTML is what your Rh7 project was in, we can deal with the table problem.
If Rh for Word is what is in use, then it should not have changed. In Rh HTML tables are now CSS driven but your old ones should not have been affected. Let's cover that when we are certain of the version of Rh the project is in.

Table borders reappear in BI template when file reopened

Hi,
Have come across a frustrating issue with a BI Publisher Template. Using BI Report Publisher, I am putting together a sales invoice which has a bank giro slip at the bottom of the document. Due to the format of the slip with contains a number of boxed fields, I have created a table and added borders around the cells that require a box. The remainder of the table and cell do not have any borders. The problem arises when I close and reopen the template (or download it from Oracle). Every cell in the table now magically has a border around it!!
I have seen something similar happen with another template with a rogue line appearing but not like this. This is occuring on two PC's but both have Word 2000 loaded.
Any help would be welcomed.
Cheers, David

i saw same moment from my coworker but for win7/32 and word 2007 (or may be 2010 don't remember )
then workaround was "elegant" =)
hi did template in .doc then saved it in .rtf
any change he did in .doc and then saved in .rtf
and so, as we had svn for code, then we had two working file - .doc (as base for changing) and .rtf (as result template for BIP)
we also didn't have no ideas about this problem and so didn't find any MOS or other solution only as above workaround
try it for your case
may be it will work for you too =)

How do I Format Table Borders in Header DW-CS5

I am building a website with DWCS5 and I can not find where to format the borders of the tables in my header.
The page is here
http://www.bountifulspinweave.com/aaaa_copy.htm
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Lois

First you would remove 'border="10" from the html table code. Then you would add some css to style ALL the table borders inside the .header1 <div>:
<style type="text/css">
.header1 table {
border: 10px solid #0C3;
</style>
Below is the complete html code and css:

In APEX 4.0, question on formating bold and underline in a table

I am using APEX 4.0,
I see I can format Bold and underline in a textbox using a control but when I save this to a clob in the database, it using the command punctuation and not really the underline or the bold.
I am using a word doc to display the contents of the clob but I just get the command punctuation and not the real underline or bold, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help,
Doug

Custom Report Template Issue

Hi,
I have a Custom Report Template, it is a Named Column(Row) Report that I have created. It seems I can get the look and feel I want on a per row basis. But when I try and convert it to be able to loop through for a specific type, like a break on the first column, it gets all messed up. I was wondering if someone might be able to shed some light for me on this I have tried everything

Thanks for the input! Yeah it is based on a query from a collection as all this data is summations that i am pre-populating.
Yes this html is probably from 1998 or 1999 I think they told me actually lol
So there is no way to accomplish what I am trying to do then?
There is no way I could use a break on first column and modify the header info to get the same sort of look and feel?Still not really clear what you are trying to accomplish, and in my view there are so many problems with the "look and feel" that it's not worth perpetuating.
Making a lot of assumptions, I've come up with the kind of HTML structure I'd use when marking up this kind of data. I added a page 2 to your example on apex.oracle.com, showing a basic presentation of this structure alongside the original for comparison, and another styled using the default theme L&F.
<li>Given the requirement to use multi-level headers (and because I prefer to have total control over the HTML), I stayed with a custom report template rather than trying to utilise column breaking with a generic column report template. This also permits use of more advanced table structures than can be supported by standard templates, such as s<tt>colgroup</tt>s to organize the table columns as well as the rows:
Before Rows
<table cellpadding="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" #REPORT_ATTRIBUTES# id="report_#REGION_STATIC_ID#">
#TOP_PAGINATION#
<tr>
    <td>
      <table class="fish">
        <caption>Some fishy summaries</caption>
        <colgroup span="1"></colgroup>
        <colgroup span="4" class="evaluation-trips" align="right"></colgroup>
        <colgroup span="4" class="other-trips" align="right"></colgroup>
After Rows
      </table>
    </td>
</tr>
#PAGINATION#
</table><li>Rather than separate tables, the report is contained in one HTML table, utilizing the <tt>tbody</tt> element to subdivide this into separate row groups to meet the "break on first column" requirement. This is achieved using conditional row templates, with PL/SQL Expressions based on the values of metadata columns added to the query:
Row Template 1
Header rows and first data row for each row group. <tt>scope</tt> attributes are added to multi-column headers for improved accessibility:
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th colspan="9" scope="rowgroup">#C1#</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th></th>
      <th colspan="4" scope="colgroup">Evaluation Trips</th>
      <th colspan="4" scope="colgroup">All Other Trips</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th>#C2#</th>
      <th>#C4#</th>
      <th>#C5#</th>
      <th>#C6#</th>
      <th>#C7#</th>
      <th>#C4#</th>
      <th>#C5#</th>
      <th>#C6#</th>
      <th>#C7#</th>
    </tr>
    <tr class="#ALT#">
      <td class="desc">#C8#</td>
      <td>#C9#</td>
      <td>#C10#</td>
      <td>#C11#</td>
      <td>#C12#</td>
      <td>#C13#</td>
      <td>#C14#</td>
      <td>#C15#</td>
      <td>#C16#</td>
    </tr>
#CLOSE_ROW_GROUP#
Row Template 1 Expression
This template is used when the row metadata shows that the current row is in a different row group from the previous row:
#ROW_GROUP# != #PREVIOUS_ROW_GROUP#
Row Template 2
This is the "default" template, used for any subsequent data rows in the row group:
    <tr class="#ALT#">
      <td class="desc">#C8#</td>
      <td>#C9#</td>
      <td>#C10#</td>
      <td>#C11#</td>
      <td>#C12#</td>
      <td>#C13#</td>
      <td>#C14#</td>
      <td>#C15#</td>
      <td>#C16#</td>
    </tr>
#CLOSE_ROW_GROUP#Both templates make use of a <tt>#CLOSE_ROW_GROUP#</tt> column value conditionally generated in the query that returns a <tt></tbody></tt> tag if the current row is the last data row in the row group. (Mixing logic and structure in this way is not good practice, but APEX only allows up to 4 conditional row templates, which is completely insufficient for any moderately complex structure.)
<li>Several metadata columns (incorporating heavy use of analytic functions) are added to the report query for use in the report template or CSS presentation:

border-collapse: collapse;
.fish tbody tr:first-child th {
border-top: 1px solid #fff;
font-weight: bold;
.fish th,
.fish td {
padding: 3px 6px;
.fish th {
border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;
border-left: 1px solid #fff;
background-color: #275096;
color: #fff;
font-weight: 300;
text-align: left;
.fish td {
text-align: right;
.fish tr.\30 td {
    background-color: #dde;
.fish td:first-child {
    text-align: left;
</style>The default theme L&F report adds vertical borders to separate columns and column groups (latter may not be fully effective on IE: I'm not wasting my time on quirks mode fixes for that).
The resulting report uses 60% less vertical space, and 87% less HTML code[1] than the original. Usability and accessibility are improved by eliminating nested tables and useless table cells and shim images, increasing the contrast between text and background colours, and using alternating row backgrounds for better visual tracking.

Report Template, Column Template, Column Template Condition

I have a template, Standard Revenue from Standard, I have cloned for a Classic report.
Application ###>Shared Componets>Templates>Edit Report Template
Column Template 1 looks like:
<td#ALIGNMENT# headers="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#" class="t1data_revenue">#COLUMN_VALUE#</td>
I have set Column Template 1 Condition to:
"Use based on PL/SQL expresiion"
I have tried several expression in "Column Template 1 Expression" - last one is:
case
when #COLNUM# <= 2 then false
when #COLUMN_VALUE# < 0 then true
else false
end case;
I am trying to use the value in "Column Template 2" when to value of the #COLUMN_VALUE# < 0
where "Column Template 2" is :
<td#ALIGNMENT# headers="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#" class="t1data_revenue_negative">#COLUMN_VALUE#</td>
I get the following error when I run the page:
ORA-01403: no data found
and
ERR-1025 Error processing PLSQL expression. case when #COLNUM# <= 2 then false when #COLUMN_VALUE# < 0 then true else false end case;
Any help will be appreciated.
thank you,

Hi,
That's actually easier. See: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:60]
The SQL for both reports is:
SELECT EMPNO, ENAME, NVL(SAL,0) SAL, NVL(COMM,0) COMM
FROM EMP
ORDER BY EMPNOThe SAL and COMM columns have been formatted using:
999G999G999G999G990D00For the Row Template, the Row Template 1 setting contains an empty space (you have to have something in there otherwise Apex adds back in a default row containing five cells!). The condition for this is:
TO_NUMBER('#COMM#','999G999G999G999G990D00') < 100The template will see the data as a string, so we use the same number format to convert that string back into a number and compare this to 100. If we didn't use formatting on the numbers and we are sure that every row contained a number (hence the use of NVL()), then you could use:
#COMM# < 100Row Template 2 contains the format for the rows that need displaying:
<tr>
<td class="t18Data">#1#</td>
<td class="t18Data">#2#</td>
<td class="t18Data" style="text-align:right">#3#</td>
<td class="t18Data" style="text-align:right">#4#</td>
</tr>and is unconditional.
The only other settings on the Row Template are the Before Rows:
<table class="t18Standard" style="border-collapse:collapse; border:1px solid black;">
<tr>
<th class="t18ReportHeader">Empno</th>
<th class="t18ReportHeader">Ename</th>
<th class="t18ReportHeader" style="text-align:right">Sal</th>
<th class="t18ReportHeader" style="text-align:right">Comm</th>
</tr>and After Rows:
</table>Of course, you will note that the record counters at the bottom still show the number of records in both reports - as the SQL still outputs the same data, this doesn't change.

Report template - How to reference COLNUM in the col template condition?

Hi,
I have a query with 4 columns. based on this query I would like to make a report with a row layout that looks something like this:
| column1 value |
| column2 value | column3 value | column4 value |
I created a report template, four column templates: one for column 1, one for the following columns and one for the las column of the report.
My problem is that when I reference *#COLNUM#* like mod(#COLNUM#,4) = 1 in the Column Template condition fields, then I get *'ORA-06550: line 1, column 34: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "#" when expecting one of the following: ( ) - +....'*
Is referencing COLNUM not allowed in the Column Template Condition field?

Before Rows
<table class="foo">
Row Template 1
<tr>
<td colspan="3">#1#</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>#2#</td>
<td>#3#</td>
<td>#4#</td>
</tr>
After Rows
</table>No conditions.
What about table headers?
My problem is that when I reference *#COLNUM#* like mod(#COLNUM#,4) = 1 in the Column Template condition fields, then I get *'ORA-06550: line 1, column 34: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "#" when expecting one of the following: ( ) - +....'*
Is referencing COLNUM not allowed in the Column Template Condition field?I suspect not. Only <tt>#ROWNUM#</tt> is mentioned in the online help for Column/Row Template Expressions. <tt>#COLNUM#</tt> is only indicated in the Column/Row Templates themselves.
(Always post sample layouts using \...\ and/or {noformat }...{noformat } tags to preserve formatting/stop Jive from turning it into something else.)

Customised Report Template - URL Issue

Hi,
I have customized report template to change the look and feel of the report table. Following are css class definitions and row templates:
.c1 {border:1px solid black; background-color:#; text-align:center; padding:2px;}
.c2 {border:1px solid black; background-color:#; text-align:center; padding:2px;}
<tr>
<td class="c1">#1#</td>
<td class="c2">Click Here</td>
</tr>
I want the value in the table to be URLs which will point to pages in the same application (when '#1#' or 'Click Here' is clicked.) Currently, it's not working properly.
What should I assign to "a href=" sothat it works properly?
Thanks,
Rahul

APEX URL syntax:
<tt>f?p=App:Page:Session:Request:Debug:ClearCache:itemNames:itemValues:PrinterFriendly</tt>
Like most information about APEX, it is freely available in the documentation.
(Please post code wrapped in \...\wrapped in <tt>\...\</tt> tags to preserve formatting and stop the forum software from interpreting HTML/CSS/JavaScript.)

HTML Display without Report Templates

Hi all
I am saving html page (with all data and formats) in a table. On next step I will query this table and will display this column and will disply it on the region. But I dont want to use HTMLDB report templates. Because I want to control the formatting (like color change, background color, fonts). Is there some way to gain control on this ?
Here is my homework. While creating the region, I tried PL/SQL and Reports. Is there some option where I can override everything with my html implementation (which is coming from the table). I tried HTML, but there you cant query the table.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

How to setup the email service & report template with BO XI3

Hi,
I'm new to BOBJ. Can anyone share your experience and guidelines on setting up the email server? I tried to do it in CMC, yet it doesn't works.
My requirement is that :
1. I need to send the WebI report to a group of users in a specific datetime(scheduler). Can BO XI3 works in this way?If yes,then how?
2. Is there a way to configure the WebI report with Company Logo and Company Name? Maybe we can called it as a report template, so the Company Logo and Company Name will appear whenever the user create any new report. How should I handle this?
Please advise.
Much appreciation for your help!
Best regards,
Tee

1. There are a few steps to set up an email server. The best guide to this is the BOE administrators guide, which you can access at help.sap.com or try this link http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_bip_admin_en.pdf
You will want to go the section on Email destination properties.
Basically you will need the details of your SMTP server, and enter details for the appropriate job server(s).
2. To setup a Webi template you create a report off of a Universe, format it so it displays your company logo in your header (look at the properties tab), and hard-code your company name, or use a dimension object with your company name in the query.
Do your formatting on this simple report how you want it, i.e. fonts, borders, shading, page margins etc. Then in your query strip out all query objects apart from at least one, which is common between all your universes (i..e you could define a dummy variable like Today's date in all your universes).
Save this report as 'Template Report' or similar, and ask all your users to use that as the starting point. So they would edit the template report, re-point the report to whatever universe they wanted then save it as a different name. Make sure they don't overwrite the template report.
Good luck!

Newbie Question - Creating a table layout in a report

Post Author: TomBrowning
CA Forum: General
(Crystal Reports Version XI 11.0.0.2495 )
Hi,
I have created a table/grid in the report details section by using the "Outside Borders" tool to surround the report fields then moved them around in order to join them to each other in a row. This appears to show the data as if in a table/grid when viewed in preview; this is also fine when I print the report out. However if I export to a PDF using the "Export Report" tool; the table is displayed with white space between the rows, breaking the table up.
I'm sure there must be a better way of creating a table that would get around this problem and I just can't see it for looking?
Thanks for your help
Tom

Hey Tom,
Try rt clicking on "Details"/"Section Expert" and click on "Format Multiple Columns".
Keep the boxes you made around the fields as they'll be duplicated too. Play around with
it and look at the help files.
Hope this helps,

#REGION_STATIC_ID# does not work in report template for PPR

I was hoping to use the new substitution string #REGION_STATIC_ID# for a PPR report, because when we do Export/Import of the app the Region ID changes and we have to manually change the Pager Header Javascript to get the PPR to work. A real pain.
So I changed the Region template to use #REGION_STATIC_ID# and set the Static id in the region definition - this worked fine. Next, I modified the Report template for PPR to use #REGION_STATIC_ID#, but at runtime this resolves to a blank! I assumed it would pick up the static ID for the region it was in. Is this a bug or am I just not understanding the way it is supposed to work?
Regards,
Steve

Hello,
#REGION_STATIC_ID# is available in some places in the report template. But the PPR javascript uses the APEX engine created ID get into the fast track report engine so it's not going to work that way.
But you can still do what you want to do what you want to do. Use the #REGION_STATIC_ID# in your region say something like this #REGION_STATIC_ID#_body the use the javascript to get that element and then use that element
along with getElementsByClass(searchClass,node,tag)
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=38704:2:::NO::P2_ID1:22
to grab the report table and then it's ID which you can then feed into your javascript. It will only be 2-3 more lines of javascript.

Report template enhancement? no data found message

I have a layout in which I want to show the excel export link in the same html table as a logo, so that code needs to be placed in the report template, but when no data is found I still want to show the logo and so all my reports have the same html code in the "no data found" field. Whenever I want to change this I have to change my template as well as all of my reports.
Wouldn't it be a nice idea to provide for a "no data found" message in the report template instead of the report itself? I can imagine you would want to show the same "no data found" message anyway for all reports so the template would be a logical place to put this.

There are known issues with Interactive Reports referencing :REQUEST value, probably due to some inner logic that also handles it simultaneously - potentially causing malfunction or deadlocks.
One workaround I've learned is to create a computation to assign :REQUEST to a temporary item (a PXX_REQUEST, for instance) and reference it in the query, instead of :REQUEST. This has worked fine for me in my experience.
Let me know if that helps - pls sign the thread as 'Useful' or 'Correct' if so, hence more people can benefit.
