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 - 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,
''||substr(facility_desc,0,50)||decode(sign(length( facility_desc)-50),1,' (More...)',NULL)||'' facility_desc,
equipment_id,
equipment_name,
''||substr(equipment_desc,0,50)||decode(sign(length( equipment_desc)-50),1,' (More...)',NULL)||'' 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

Download in Interactive Report Attributes

Hi, all --
I am using APEX 3.1. In the Interactive Report Attributes, I added the filename: status.csv. I apply the change, but I don't see any change on the page. I was expecting a link at the bottom of the report to invoke the download. If my expectation is wrong, how do I invoke the download?
Thanks,
Yivon

The Gear Icon is the Actions Menu. To see the Download function, you need to have it enabled. Edit your page, click on Interactive Report, scroll down to the Search Bar region and make sure that 'Download' is checked. For more information about how to develop IRRs, check out this OBE - http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/apex/apex31nf/apex31irr.htm I would also suggest that you run your IRR and select Help from the Actions Menu - that will explain about what each option does.

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

Reorder Interactive Report Attributes

I'm having the silliest problem:
I want to reorder attributes displayed on an interactive report.
On the Page Edit, I click the "Interactive Report" link or my region. I have reordered the attributes, but the rendering doesn't show the update. What am I missing??
Thanks,
Lau
Edited by: Laurence on Mar 20, 2009 9:12 AM

The "magic gear" is the wheel with all the options (Calculations, Highlight etc) that shows uop when you run the report (so you do have to run the page, can't do it from within "APEX Developer").

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.

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]

Hello,
We have requirement to disable editing in case that status of field is 1 (1=Closed).

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.

Interactive Report Chart Missing Labels

I have a simple horizontal bar chart on an Interactive Report... There are 22 bars but only half of them (11) have labels. Bars 1, 3, 5, 7, etc have labels. If I click on the other bars I can see their labels but this is of no use when printing. The same issue happens frequently in various other charts whenever there are more than a few items to display. Our users have to download the reports to Excel and create the charts there in order to print or make presentations.

Hi Rick,
The behaviour you are seeing, where not all labels are displayed, is expected given the size of the region the chart is being displayed in and the number of labels you wish to display. AnyChart will automatically handle the display of the labels in this case, and it is not possible to customise an Interactive Report chart to override this behaviour. My suggestion would be that you create a new Chart region, where you have more control over the chart you generate. Please refer to the section Creating Charts - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15517/app_comp.htm#CHDFEJAB - in Chapter 8 - Adding Application Components of the APEX User's Guide for more information. Once you have generated your chart, you can increase the height of your chart on the Chart Attributes page, and this will allow for the display of additional labels on the X-axis of your chart. Alternatively, you could look at the option of using the AnyChart axis label Stager mode, as outlined in the online AnyChart documentation here: http://anychart.com/products/anychart/docs/users-guide/axes-labels-text-formatting.html#stager. As the mode name suggests, the positioning of the axis labels will be staggered, which will allow for the display of all of your labels without having to adjust the chart height. For your presentations, you can easily create the chart regions on the same page as your existing Interactive Reports, and you'll also have the ability to print the charts, save them as an image or as PDF.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Hilary

Reporting Excel missing clast column

Interactive Report Subscription - missing search functionality

Hi,
when receiving the output of a report subscription in Apex 4.1.1, the search Box is missing, only the Text string 'Suche:' is displayed.
If i download the report as Email or html, the search box is there and usable.
Maybe i'm wrong, but this was not under Apex 4.0.2.
Has anyone the same disfunction?
regards,
Wolfgang

Hi Christina,
i have a smilar problem with Email subscriptions, i don't use items, but i use collections in the where clause!
Example:
select * from PUMA_MMRDB_GSM_LB a
where
case
when (select C001 from APEX_COLLECTIONS where COLLECTION_NAME = 'TMP_SELECTION') = 'BRD' then 1
when (select C001 from APEX_COLLECTIONS where COLLECTION_NAME = 'TMP_SELECTION') = 'REGION' and (a.Region in (select C001 FROM APEX_COLLECTIONS WHERE COLLECTION_NAME = 'REGION_M')) then 1
when (select C001 from APEX_COLLECTIONS where COLLECTION_NAME = 'TMP_SELECTION') = 'NL' and (a.NL in (select C001 FROM APEX_COLLECTIONS WHERE COLLECTION_NAME = 'NLK')) then 1
end = 1
Sometimes i see the Errror ORA-01722 in the 'error message' field of the apex_application_page_ir_sub view. I don't know if this related to the above.
Can you point me in the right direction?
thanks,
Wolfgang

Filter Interactive Report by a Hidden Column

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

Edward_MX wrote:
Hi, I would like to know if you can filter an IR by a hidden column?Ok, this works (for want of a better solution). I ended up adding a field to the report called HIDDEN_DETAILS. Then just hide that column with javascript/css using a live scope dynamic action on region refresh and on page load.
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.

HELP: Column not shown in Interactive Report

I have an Interactive Report setup, I have added a new column to the report.
But the new column doesn't show by default, for anyone to view this new column they need to use the GUI click the gear... and then click columns and add the column to the view.
I noticed that "default report settings" under "interactive report attributes" the new column isnt listed in "Selected Columns section"
is that the problem? how do I update this list without rebuilding the report from scratch.
Thanks Jade
Edited by: user13002266 on 29-Jun-2010 16:22

sure, so there actuall instructions in the item half way down the page of the item configuration.
anyways so what you do it log into the application as the devloper login, so if you have a custon autorisation scheme you will need to set it back to apex, then when your logged in to you app... goto the page with the report, click the cog icon and there is a selext/adjust columns option... when you have finished click cog and save report... you will have an option to save as default... when you save the report your done, and all users will see you changed, remeber to change autorisation back to you custom one if you changed it.
sorry im on my phone so spelling is prob bad and I dont have apex handy so I have to do it from memory. :)
thanks jade, hope this helps... should work mint... ask again if you have problem's and I will update this when I have a pc and apex around.
