Interactive Report Customization

Hello,
I need help in customizing the interactive report.
for example: my report IR shows the data as below:
Department Name Department Number
sales 10
service 20
HR 30
Finance 40
I would like to customize the report such that the report shows the data as follows:
Total count of Sales Department: 1 Total Count of Service Department: 1
Total Count of HR Department: 1 Total Count of Finance Department :1
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

That was the requirement.
I am able to show the report close to the requirement. Need some help.
I did control break on department such that it shows as below:
deptno:10
xxxxxxxxxx
deptno:20
xxxxxxxxxxx
Now i want to show the counts for each department, i tried using aggregate, but it is not showing.
my question is, shall I do the control break and get the counts for each department.
thank you.

How to customize an interactive report PDF using a BI Publisher template

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to get an interactive report to work with BI Publisher. I want it so that I can create a custom RTF template with custom headings, and then apply this for the interactive report.
On the front end, when a user runs an interactive report, they are able to hide and show columns, and then click on Actions > Download > PDF. I want this to access the custom template and return a PDF based on this template, and also showing the columns that the user has selected in the interactive report.
I have already created a custom RTF Word Doc in BI Publisher, and have uploaded it into a report query created in Apex. I am not sure though how to apply this report query to an interactive report, or if that’s even what I’m supposed to do to get it to work the way I want it to.
When editing the Report Attributes, under Print Attributes, there is a section called Printing.
Under this, there is a "Print Server Overwrite". I thought this is where you can specify your report query. But I am not sure if I even need a report query because I don't understand why you have a report query that is based on a static query, when in an Interactive Report, the user can hide columns.
I have Apex 4.0.1.00.03 and Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.0d installed.
Thanks,
Gage

Hi Gage,
Custom RTF and XSL-FO templates are currently only supported with classic report regions and report queries, but not with interactive reports. So you would need to create a report query based on the SQL statement you used for your interactive report and then associated your template with that report query. Unfortunately you won't be able to use any of your customizations, filters, or column selections this way. We're planing to support report layouts with interactive reports in the future.

Hello Tony,
Your suggestion on the other thread is interesting and will be helpful on some other reporting I am doing. However, I am still running into an issue. I am unable to get the 2nd interactive report query below 114 columns since I have to keep those fields together so they can look at those fields when they make computations.
I never did say 100 + columns is "Always" needed. However, it is still a needed feature in my opinion. I been using APEX for 2 years. This is the first time I needed this many columns. I am currently working with Institutional Advancement, which by next month will want to have over 200 columns available to them since not only will they be looking at constituents but, they will want to look at corporations as well. Discover isn't an option at this time.
"Maybe someone can build an ad-hoc report builder for APEX applications that can be attached to applications? We have such items in Oracle Forms application I maintain now.."
That would be delightful...

Kelly

Interactive report run pl/sql by clicking on link column

Hi!
How can I run pl/sql script by clicking on a link column of an interactive report?
Andras

EDIT : Oh sorry don't saw the date, I'm a little late...
Hi,
if you want a link for each row, an other solution is to include the link column in your query, which would be more customizable, ie :
select
COLUMN1,
COLUMN2,
'<ahref="f?p=&APP_ID.:6:&APP_SESSION.::NO::" onclick="your_function('||YOUR_ID_COLUMN||');return false;">link or picture</a>' as "link",
COLUMN3;
from
...As you see, you will have to include the ID (primary key) column to your report ("hidden") to identify the row clicked when calling your function.
If you want to use the Link Column property in the report attributes, you will have to call you js function in the "URL" field like that :
javascript:your_function('#YOUR_ID_COLUMN#');

Can I link from Interactive report Page 1 to Master Detail page 2?

Hi folks-
I know how to create a Page as an Interactive Report; it creates 2 pages automatically (primary page with the great interactive bar) and a 2nd page that's a single record.
I know how to create a Page as Master Detail, whereby I get a tabular list without the super interactive bar, and I can select a record, and get transported to a nice page with 2 regions (master on top, detail on bottom).
I want to have the First page from the Interactive Report, select the record, and go to the 2nd page of a MasterDetail.
Do I create the Interactive Report, and customize the 2nd page, to add a region?
Or, do I create both page types, and redirect from the 1st page of the Interactive Report to the DML Form from the MD report? I tried that, re-assigning the link from the Interactive Report to be a Link to Custom Target, and specify the page # of the Master-Detail page. And it is taking me to the right page, but the data from the selected row is not coming with me, and the detail in the bottom region is not appearing at all.
Can someone please give me a nudge as to the sequence I should be doing?
(As you can tell, I'm new to Apex.... I'm trying to use it to create a prototype or proof-of-concept for a database driven web application)
Thank you
Marion

Yes, I tried that after I wrote to you - and it's fine, but not what I'm after; it's only based on 1 table and I'm working with 2 tables.
Perhaps I can explain in better.
I want one page as an interactive tabular report (of the master records)
I want to select a row, and transfer to a page that has the corresponding row on top (as a form), and a tabular region below of records from a related detail table.
ie, I want page 1 from the Interactive Report, and page 2 of the Master Detail report.
OK - I just took the form page, and added a region below in a tabular report. And I'm getting the data, but I'm getting all the records (not just the ones associated with the single record on top. I figure I need to edit the Region Definition->Source (to specify that the id numbers need to match), but the code is not editable.....
So I am in Structured Query Attributes, and I've Modified the Join Conditions - but I still get all the detail records in the bottom region. I''m trying to add in the ( + ) qualifier, but it doesn't affect anything...
I'm soo close to what i'm trying to do!
Thank you for your continued patience and assistance
Marion
here's the Source I have for the region..... (I'm including the excess ID columns just for learning purposes)
SELECT
"PHONENUMBERS"."PHONE_ENTITY_ID" "PHONE_ENTITY_ID",
"ENTITIES"."ENTITY_ID" "ENTITY_ID",
"ENTITIES"."FIRSTNAME" "FIRSTNAME",
"ENTITIES"."LASTNAME" "LASTNAME",
"ENTITIES"."COMPANY" "COMPANY",
"PHONENUMBERS"."PHONE_ID" "PHONE_ID",
"PHONENUMBERS"."PHONETYPE" "PHONETYPE",
"PHONENUMBERS"."PHONENUMBER" "PHONENUMBER",
"PHONENUMBERS"."PHONECOMMENT" "PHONECOMMENT"
FROM
"PHONENUMBERS",
"ENTITIES"
WHERE ENTITIES.ENTITY_ID = PHONENUMBERS.PHONE_ENTITY_ID

Order by not working on Interactive Report

I have created an Interactive Report. My select statement contains an ORDER BY. When the report displays it is not in the correct order. How can I control the display order of an Interactive Report?

hi Alfred,
Where can I define the sorting order ? I would like the first call of the report already have a sort.
I know the user can customize the sorting in the report but not at the first call!
I hope it is understandable ;-)i think when the page upload u want to sort the report.
then
in report attributes>column attributes >edit the each column>column definition>remove the tick on sort all >apply changes and give order by i n your query

Saving Interactive reports in a SaaS context an issue?

Hi,
at the company I'm working for, we have an application that is used by different client. Each client uses the same application but they all have different CSS and they can customize things like they want. To diffentiate each client, obviously we use different ID.
Now, we haven't move to 3.1 yet (still 3.0) and we find the interactive report interesting. But when it comes to the "save report" function. That's where using the same application for different clients becomes an issue. Each user can save their own report with their own filters. But since, APEX recognize the user only by it's username, if 2 users from 2 different clients share the same username, the changes made by user 1 will be seen by user 2 and vice versa.
We have a 3.1 environment and I've tested the above and indeed, that is the case. Could we find a workaround? Where are the reports information saved?
Thanks, Reginald

Now here's something that was pointed out to me : What happens when you change username? By the way things are working, I would think that you automatically lose your saved reports right?
Now, I was wondering if there could be a way to override the APP_USER value, or if it can only be modified by the APEX login API? Because, I thought, that maybe I could put the userid instead of the username in the APP_USER, so that even if the user changes his username, he would still have all his saved reports.
Now I thought about puting the username entered in an application item, then passing the userid in the login API, but that wouldn't make a lot of sense, because it would mean that I would go get the userid before the person is not even validated to the system. It would probably work, but I don't think it's a clean way of doing things. So the best would be to actually override the APP_USER while IN my custom login function that is called by the API.
If I'm correct, the p_password parameter of my custom function is assigned to APP_USER once that function returns true, right?
I know that is a lot of questions! So, thanks a lot for your time!

Save Interactive Reports in Apex 4.0 for a specific user

Hello all
Here's the setup: I have APEX 4.0.1 running on Oracle EE 10.2.0.5 on Windows 2003.
I built a GPS application which allows users to see their vehicles on a google map...but this is beside the point.
My problem is that when a user saves a specific Interactive Report (after having done some customization as to columns & computaitons etc) the report is visible to any one that connects to the application.
I am using a custom made authentication (in Apex I use no authentication and have a function validate the user logon before he is taken to the main page). this is because users are divided into companies, sub companies and departments and each user is granted access to a page in function of his presence in this hierarchy.
My question is: how can I implement the feature whereby saved interactive reports are visible to only those users that saved them?
Thanks in advance

Hi "user12045065" (please change your forum handler),
what does APP_USER show for you? Is it the same for all users?
I'm not sure if I fully understood your sentence "in Apex I use no authentication and have a function validate the user logon".
Does that mean you are NOT using a "custom authentication scheme" for that? If you answer that question with yes, how should APEX be able to distinguish the different users? And I still don't understand why you don't use it, because also with a "custom authentication scheme" you can redirect the user to the page he is privileged for.

Patrick

Variable or Substitution String in Interactive Report Filter

Background: I have an application that has a number of customized Interactive Reports where the Filter on the reports is set to a custom company name. When I install the application, I do not want to go through the reports and change the filter for the new company's name. The filters I need to change are all set by LOVs.
Question: Is there a way that I can do one of the following:
- associate a Filter with a Variable or Substitution String such that I can set that variable or string on login and then the user always sees the correct Filter displayed in the Interactive Report?
- or is there a code method to update a sql apex table behind the scenes to reset the Filter to the new value. So that I could run that after installation as part of a customization / set-up time?
System Info: 4.1.0.00.32
Thanks,
Stephen
I used the IR_FILTER function, and while it allowed for a new filter to be set. It did not save the filter after logout or for other users accessing the Primary report. I could not find a SAVE Interactive Report function. So, my question still stands on looking for a method to set and save Filters programatically.
Edited by: slsmith on Apr 19, 2012 8:07 PM

Hi,
I don't have access to an Apex 3 environment to check this, but I think that the Apex 4 Interactive Reports save the filters slightly differently and an attempt to mimic that functionality using IR conditions would fail.
The only alternative I can think of right now is to have an additional column that returns 0 or 1 - eg:
SELECT FIELD1,
FIELD2,
FIELD3,
CASE WHEN (FIELD1 IS NULL OR FIELD2 IS NULL OR FIELD3 IS NULL) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END INCLUDE_NULLS
FROM YOURTABLEand then apply a filter to INCLUDE_NULLS = 1

Interactive report messages - translation

Hello,
I'm trying to translate all of the interactive report messages, on Apex 4.2.
I'm using this [http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35125/global_messages.htm] as a reference.
I have several problems translating the help section of the interactive report.
First of all, I can't seem to find all of the message names. The ones I couldn't find were:
Sets the number of records to display per page.(regarding displaying certain number of rows per page)
Format enable you to customize the display of the report. Format contains the following submenu:
    Sort
    Control Break
    Highlight
    Compute
    Aggregate
    Chart
    Group By(regarding format)
You can define one Group By report per saved report. Once defined, you can switch between the group by and report views using links below the Search bar. To create a Group By report, you select:
    the columns on which to group (up to 3 columns can be selected)
    the columns to aggregate along with the function to be performed (average, sum, count, etc.)
    the columns to use for sorting (up to 3 columns can be selected along with direction and null sorting options)(regarding group by)
And secondly, I have translated this message
    Select columns icon enables you to identify which column to search (or all).
    Text area enables you to enter case insensitive search criteria (wild card characters are implied).
    Go button executes the search.
    Reports displays alternate default and saved private or public reports.
    Actions Menu enables you to customize a report. See the sections that follow.using this message name: APEXIR_HELP_SEARCH_BAR.
However, now I have two messages shown in that section: the original one, in English, and the translated one.
Could someone please help me out?
Thank you!

Making raw breakes in Interactive report

Hello
I have build an application, which is a grading system - it is going to be used for a competition.
In the main page of the application, I have an interactive report with all of the competitors, which are ordered by the highest marks they get.
The top six competitors are going to the next round of the competition.
I need to separate the first 6 rows of the report, from the rest of the report.
Is it possible to make a break after the first 6 records of the interactive report? May be by modifying a select statement?
Thank you for consideration.

Wow, it's getting harder and harder to read posts here. People seem to be very casual with their writing. I don't know if it's because the forum is multi-national or people have gotten used to "IM-speak" or what.
I'm just saying... How do people expect others to want to answer their question if they don't put in the time to ask it so it can be comprehended?
Sorry, that was my rant for the day.
As for answering your question, you would need to change your report query to add a column like this:
row_number() OVER(ORDER BY competitor_score DESC) AS score_rank
If you simply want to highlight those who go to the next round, customize the Interactive report to highlight rows where the score_rank <= 6.
If you want the IR to to Group By, customize the IR to create a calculation, where if the score_rank <= 6, then "Move Forward", otherwise "Going Home". Then have the IR group by that new column. Or enhance your SQL query to do it. Something like this should work:
SELECT d.*,
CASE
WHEN d.score_rank <= 6 THEN
'Move Forward'
ELSE
'Going Home'
END AS progress_groups
FROM (SELECT ...,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY competitor_score DESC) AS score_rank
FROM ...) d;
Good luck,
Stew

Interactive reports vs BW reports

Hello Friends,
Please provide me the clarification for the below things.
1. Limitations on CRM Interactive reports (I know it is used for realtime OLTP reporting, uses BW client).
2. Can we customize and enhance BW reports or objects in the BW client ?
3. Can we use BW system (separate) use for Interactive reports as well as general BW system

Ravi

CRM Interactive Reports Activation

Hi All
We need to activate de Interactive Reports in CRM But we don't know what to do with the BI Client.
BI Cliente is a BI product Installed in the Same Sever, but in different Client? Or we just have to customize the the Analytics part in CRM?
Our Basis consultant is lost about it.
Best Reagrds and thanks for any info.

Hello Luis,
The BI Report reuse component can be used to display any BI report based on the BW 3.x Template technology inside of the CRM 2006s UI Framework. As any other reuse component it can be embedded in a viewset or navigated to the components window. It can be used in workcenter pages and overview pages.
The Customizing is maintained in view cluster CRMVC_GEN_UI_BE.
Use transaction CRMC_UI_BI to call the customizing. This should give an fair idea about your question.

Interactive Report - make primary report unmodfiable

Hi,
I have customised an interactive report with some row coloring.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=33803:1
and want to ensure that end- user are unable to customize it. Is there a way I can make it unmodifiable by end users by removing the option to hide that checkbox and image with red-cross for saved primary report?
Basically I don't want users to change the row-coloring as currently set in primary report.
Cheers.

Hi, same problem here. Did you find a solution?

Using XSL-FO for Interactive Report PDF printout

I am using XSL-FO, Apache FOP and use FO Designer to produce a PDF from SQL Based Report (not IR). This is working fine.
How can use the same concept for Interactive Report. I can not see how to make IR to use XSL-FO and Apache FOP.
It looks that IR is only working for BI Publisher. Am I right?

Interactive Reports currently only support the built-in default XSL-FO layout, i.e. there are only limited customization options available. Report Queries (see Shared Components) and Classic Reports can either use the default XSL-FO Layout, or can be associated with RTF or XSL-FO based templates. We plan to extend printing support for Interactive Reports in a future version of Oracle Application Express to provide similar features as is currently available for Report Queries and Classic Reports.

Marc
