Interactive Report - Layout

Hi,
     I have got an interactive report which runs based on PL/SQL query.
Now, I would like to get the interactive report in vertical layouts.
Eg: Columns names are EMP_ID,EMP_NAME,DESIGNATION
Now the interactive report is like
EMP_ID          EMP_NAME          DESIGNATION
1                    Anu                       Lead
I would like to change the above interactive report as,
EMP_ID                    1
EMP_NAME              Anu
DESIGNATION           Lead.
How can I achieve this?
Pls help me out.
Thanks in advance

There is a built-in feature of interactive reports that does this: Detail View. Simply follow the instructions in the documentation to enable detail view, and enter the HTML structure required to render the detail report.

Changing fonts and layout of Interactive Report

Can we change the layout and fonts and colors in an INteractive report?
Can we apply a report template to an interactive report?
Edited by: SaintMahatma on Feb 23, 2009 1:48 PM

I did it like this and it worked.

It's a hard to read the apex_3_1.css because it's all written in one line. So it's a good way to copy the file into an Editor and add additional breaks after each ";"

Assign report layout to Interactive report

Is it possible to link a Report Layout to an Interactive query so that downloads to pdf will pick up the new format.

I understand what you are saying.
Leave this first date column as it is but create a third column to the left of the first date column. And put a MIN(promotion date) formula on this. Now your new column will pull a single date for the combination of the 03 GHI. We still need the original promotion date column for our promotion date2 column to work correctly. but we dont have to show it. so adjust the format of this column (white on white) so that its hidden.

Pagination on interactive report - how to move it on my layout

okay, I am working with the basic interactive report, no tweaks. My end user doesn't seem to worry about much horizontal scrolling, although it goes against my personal web dev standards to do that without significant necessity. But with the templates as they are, the pagination for the next/prev set of records is WAAAY over to the right. I find this bothersome, and for the benefit of my user, I would like to left-align this. I've looked on Google, done a search in this forum, and checked the APEX docs, not much leaping out at me. I suspect I can tweak a div class on some template, not having an easy time finding that.
helpful thoughts on this? TYIA, and points for a working idea.

Hi,
Have you try change "Pagination Display Position" from Interactive Report Attributes?

Interactive Report Region Layout

I created an interactive report, but it can have many records (close to 1000), and my customer needs to print it.
Let's assume 4 records A,B,C,D
when displaying, the report shows as
A
B
C
D
I have enough room on the page to get it to go horizontally
and I'd like my report to show as
A B
C D
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Scott

I'm seeing this is not really possible in interactive reports...
I am ok doing this in standard reports, but I need the condition.
basically 2 Rows Across in each row. this will make my report look nicer... I really don't want to write an HTML script to output this as it is very slow.
Does anyone have any suggestions for this?

Unable to open PDF output (PDF downloaded from Interactive Report--APEX)

Hi,
I'm getting below error while opening a PDF file downloaded from an interactive report (APEX).
Adobe reader cound not open "TEST.pdf"because it is either not supportd file or because the file has been damaged.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramamuni.

Steps of pdf Printing of Report from FOP:
1) Download and unzip the following needed files in D:\Apex_fop directory.
2) Open your command prompt .
Change the directory to D:\Apex_fop\cocoon-2.1.11.
Set the Java_Home environment variable as: set JAVA_HOME= C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_21
then type build war
3) After getting the prompt back as D:>Apex_fop>cocoon-2.1.11>
Copy coocon.war file from the folder D:\Apex_fop\cocoon-2.1.11\build\cocoon.
Paste this file into webapps subdirectory in main tomcat directory having path as D:\APEX_FOP\apache-tomcat-6.0.26\webapps.....place it in the top
level of webapps directory.
4) Now just startup tomcat as D:>APEX_FOP>apache-tomcat-6.0.26>bin>startup.bat
The cocoon.war file will automatically uncompressed as directory.
5) To change the port of apache tomcat , edit apache-tomcat-6.0.26\conf\server.xml & change port attribute of Connector element from 8080 to 8181.
Just check whether Tomcat is running or not as http://localhost:8181/
& to check cocoon type http://localhost:8181/cocoon/
6) Now copy fop_post directory & paste it undes new cocoon directory in webapps having path as D:\APEX_FOP\apache-tomcat-6.0.26\webapps
\cocoon.
7) Now you need to do some apex settings as follows:
In APEX, just log in as ADMIN into apex/apex_admin and went to Instance Settings and did the following:
- Print Serverr: Standard Support
- Print Server Protocol: HTTP
- Print Server Host Address:localhost
- Print Server Port: 8181
- Print Server Script: /cocoon/fop_post
In your APEX application, in the Regions section, Click on the Print link next to your report and do the following settings:
- Enable Report Printing: Yes
- Link Label: Print
- Response Header: Report Settings
- View File As: Attachment
- Output Format: PDF
- Report Layout: Default Report Layout
- Print URL: f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&SESSION.:FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R1063230002781575
8) Open up the Report Page and click Print , You will get the pdf report.
I am sure this will help you

Print page items on Interactive Report

Hello,
I have an interactive report showing employees detail for the department number passed in as parameter.
On interactive report, I have page items showing department name and location on the top under report title.
When I print or export the report, it just exports the data rows, not the report title and department name and location.
Is it possible to include the report title, department name and location as well in the export file?
Thanks.

Sum on Interactive Report.

Hello, I've created an Interactive Report the contains a colummun whith hours like that "15:00"

and I'm having a problem to sum this on the end of report. APEX does not support INTERVAL data types in either standard or interactive reports.
Someone have any ideia how i can do that?For an interactive report all I can suggest is converting the interval to decimal in the query and using that column in the IR sum, which will lose the interval formatting.
It's possible to create a user-defined aggregate function to sum intervals, and use this in a standard APEX report: +{message:id=9371014}+
When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.

Attribute "Report Layout" is missing in the "Print Attributes" tab for IR

Hallo,
The attribute “Report Layout” is missing in the “Print Attributes” tab for an interactive report?
How to alter the report layout (xsl-fo) of an interactive report?
Has someone any idea where to configure this?
Btw, for the "classic" SQL Report the XSL-FO "Report Layout" can be cahnged in "Print Attributes" and this works fine for me. But I want to change the xsl-fo for the interactive report.
"If you do not select a report layout, a default XSL-FO layout is used. The default XSL-FO layout is always used for rendering Interactive Report regions. ... Unlike classic reports, the Interactive Report Print Attributes can only utilize the default XSL-FO layout and is initiated from the Report Attributes, Download section rather than directly from this screen. Once configured, these attributes only apply only to the current region and cannot be used outside the context of the region."
http://apex.oracle.com/i/doc/bldapp_rpt_print.htm
How can the "default XSL-FO layout" be changed?
Changing is necessary because the Apache FOP 1.0 reports the following error (for the transmitted default XSL-FO):
"fo:simple-page-master", "fo:region-body" must be declared before "fo:region-before"
http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/#fo_region-before
The default report layout is not saved in:
select * from APEX_040000.WWV_FLOW_REPORT_LAYOUTS
Thx, Willi

I've found two workaround for getting Apache FOP 1.0 to work with Oracle Apex 4.0 for PDF printing of interactive reports:
1, Use an application process to set your custom layout for interactive reports:
[ ] grant all on APEX_040000.WWV_RENDER_REPORT3 to {YOUR_SCHEMA_NAME};
[ ] Create an Application Process e.g. "Custom Report Layout" with constraint for request 'PDF' and Process Text:
declare
v_xsl varchar2(32767);
begin
v_xsl := '<?xml version = ''1.0'' encoding = ''utf-8''?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
<fo:region-body region-name="region-body" margin-top="54.0pt" margin-bottom="54.0pt"/>
<fo:region-before region-name="region-header" extent="54.0pt"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>';
APEX_040000.WWV_RENDER_REPORT3.g_prn_template := v_xsl;
end;2, If you have some knowlege in Java change the sequnce of the the nodes in the apex_fop.jsp (or servlet), ie. changing the xsl before you use it for transformation.
The code depends on the solution you are using to parse the xsl string.
Hope this may help someone,
Willi

Interactive Report (IR) column heading: filtered items number & flashlight

Hello everyone
several hours of searching through the forum did not provide me with leads or answers to 2 questions. Both are related to the IR column heading menu and options. Let's start with a copy of the relevant portion of the interactive report help screen:
Column Heading Menu
Clicking on any column heading exposes a column heading menu.
[snip]
Text Area is used to enter case insensitive search criteria (no need for wild cards). Entering a value will reduce the list of values at the bottom of the menu. You can then select a value from the bottom and the selected value will be created as a filter using '=' (e.g. column = 'ABC'). Alternatively, you can click the flashlight icon and the entered value will be created as a filter with the 'LIKE' modifier (e.g. column LIKE '%ABC%').
List of Unique Values contains the first 500 unique values that meet your filters. If the column is a date, a list of date ranges is displayed instead. If you select a value, a filter will be created using '=' (e.g. column = 'ABC').
Q1: Why do I not see a flashlight icon? I looked everywhere in the report definition to "enable" it, to no avail.
Q2: Although we've found IRs to be incredibly useful and embraced by end users, we are having issues when dealing with large datasets. Let's look at searching for people's first/last name in our CONTACTS table. The table is ~28,000 names long. If one attempts to use Column Heading menu to "filter" for any name outside the first 500 unique values, the search does not work. Yes, I know that a workaround is to use Actions Menu icon filter... but, it sure is misleading to have a search which does not go beyond letter B in the list of last names. Furthermore, I do not see a way to DISABLE Column Heading Text Area, and avoid user confusion.
I suspect that "List of Unique Values contains the first 500 unique values" was set for the performance purposes. Is there a way to set that number anywhere? Have it customized for each column? (columns county and state could be <100, for example)
Thanks an advance to any advice.
Vojin

@Prabodh: what you say is only changing the default image for the column selector at the search bar level. What i think is being looked for is an icon on the popup when a column header is clicked in an IR. Don't bother: there is none.
@Vojin, Tonibony:
I also ran into this problem with IRs and the useless column header box. If you want to hide the unique values list, it is a bother. First of all, you can't disable the finding of values, this is embedded in the widget ajax code. Then if you want to just hide the list, there is no real event you can hook up to. The poping up of the box is an ajax callback, and is part of the IR javascript, but this callback does not trigger any event (no apexafterrefresh for example, which is understandable). I've worked around this by overriding/extending the method which is called when ajax is done loading within the IR code. Here is a piece of code which does this (call it on page load):
   // _Finished_Loading is called when the IR is done with a GET action
   // because the posts are synchronous in this report, and no events
   // or hooks are available, the best way to preserve functionality
   // yet extending it is to override the original function, yet
   // keep the base code
   // apexafterrefresh cant be used since it is not triggered after
   // the widget ajax
   var or_Finished_Loading = gReport._Finished_Loading;
   gReport._Finished_Loading = function(){
       //overriden, but still have to call orinigal!
      or_Finished_Loading();
      //SORT_WIDGET is the widget containing all the header elements
      if(gReport.current_control=='SORT_WIDGET'){
         // hide the original dropdown box
         $("#apexir_rollover_content").hide();
   };If you're interested, i've recently developed a plugin for use in my interactive reports which works around some of these limitations. For me, the headers are much more userfriendly than the actions > filter menu. So what i've done is: hide the orignal dropdown, and turn the searchfield into an autocompletion field, which will progressively search through the distinct column values in the IR with ajax. I've even made an option to have the searching behave like a "contains" or a "like". I'm working on a post about it, with background, documentation and source code. I'll add a post here when i finish it up, you can see if that helps you.
I also would like to add a button later on which will simply add the entered value as a "like %value%" filter. I know how to do this and what to do, i'm just a bit short on time at the moment. I actually think that adding the button in the layout may be the hardest part... :')

Display @ interactive Report

Hello All,
In my interactive Report, there is couple column in the “Do Not Display Column”.
I would like to display them as other default column.
Anyone can lead me about this issue ?
EB NY

Hi,
Login to the application, and run the report as developer account. After running the page, click on interactive report Action menu --> select columns. Select the columns which you want to display in report and move them to Display in Report list box, arrange the order of the columns as per your requirement. Now Click on Apply. Now you should be able to see the new columns on the report page.
To make this report setting available for all the users, you have to save this layout as default report setting. To do that, click on Action menu -> Save report . Select default report setting and then click on apply. This will save the current report as default report for all the users and they can see the newly added columns.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Manish

Interactive report - order column by other column values

Hi Oracle experts,
could you please advise how to order column A by values of column B in Interactive report ?
When clicking on header of "Countries" column in order to sort it acs/desc I would like to order it by values of column "Sort_order" which stores values from 1 to 100.
The goal is to order "Countries" not alphabetically, but according to values of "Sort_order" column.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Konrad

Any ideas?I'm not an expert on Interactive Reports, so there may be a less brute force method using the built-in features, but here's an approach that's worked in the past.
Modify the query to generate the column as:
'' || countryi.e. prefix the country name with an HTML comment containing the required ordinal number. This won't be visible in the report, but will be considered when sorting in SQL.
In the IR Column Attributes set the column's Display Text As property to Standard Report Column so APEX won't escape the HTML tags.
This method has side effects: some IR filters won't work; aggregate calculations can't be applied to the column; and report exports contain the HTML rather than the expected value.
Edited by: fac586 on 02-Oct-2012 13:28
From APEX 4.2 IR columns have support for HTML Expressions, so Re: Report formatting/sorting issue using a hidden column and HTML Expression should be used, as it's purely declarative and provides better separation of concerns. (Still a problem on report exports though. Whilst the sort column can be suppressed using a condition, the hidden column can't be "unhidden" to replace it.)

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.

Changing the default number of rows displayed in a interactive report

Hi,
I have a sql query based interactive report but i cant change the default number of pages i.e 15.
is there any way to change the number of rows displayed.
Thank you,
rakesh

Hi,
That was very useful document that you shared, yes that is correct we can so it this way but there is another way doing it where in if you go to the report attribute section and in that there is Layout and Pagination and under
that you can fix the number of rows, and over there we can also accept values from page item such as if the page item value changes the number of rows displayed in the report changes dynamically.
In my report i get only pagination but not a option for layout.
Any help will be appreciated.
And also where i can get the links to the similar document that you have shared ?
TY
rakesh
