Interactive Report's Column Definition - Single Row View Label Bug?

Hello,
I have an Interactive report that I've added a Blue background to certain column headings (done by giving Column Heading a background color), this works fine except for the Single Row view - it displays the <....> code I used to get the background color and the column heading. I've tried to change the Single Row View Label by unchecking the 'Use Same Text for Single Row View' on the Column Definition and giving a different label, it just ignores whatever I put in and shows the Column Heading with the < .... > code. Is this a Bug or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Anna

Hi Anna,
I believe that it is a bug.
If the 'Use Same Text for Single Row View' checkbox is unticked and some text is entered in the 'Single Row View Label' field it gets ignored completely when viewed in the single row view and the existing value in 'Column Heading' is used.
I wanted to do something similar to you, colouring some of the Interactive Report column headers, and it works fine in the IR report itself but shows the code (span style:color etc) in the single row query. I am using Apex 3.1.1 and the Sand Theme.
I created a simple application on apex.oracle.com using the red theme and in single row view it still ignores the 'Single Row View Label' but interestingly shows the Column Heading text without the code. This indicates that there could be a work-around by altering the theme.

Chris

Interactive report: Can I exclude a particular column from single row view?

Hi -- I posted on this yesterday (Possible to exclude interactive report column from single row display?
a bit anxious for suggestions, I guess!
I've added a column with edit-link functionality to my interactive report query (that is, the link
is not attached to the database data... it's an additional column and shows an icon). It's also
in addition to the default single row view link. (We need both.)
Unfortunately, the Edit link column shows up in the single row view. I've pared it down as much
as I can: the label is empty, and the null value shows as "-". But an extra row with "-" is pretty
ugly. Is there a way to always, completely exclude this column from the single row view?
I know I could put the edit link on a data column, but:
1) I want the link to always be to the left of the data (and the user can re-order columns)
2) when the user doesn't have edit privileges, the link will need to be disabled or just not
be displayed, and I think that would be a problem if the link were on the data. (true?)
Thanks,
Carol

Please disregard this thread, and the one it refers back to. I see a flaw in the design of what I was attempting to do! Creating the link for Editing as a column means the user could inadvertently not display it, or move it, or... any number of problematic scenarios.
Thanks,
Carol

Unable to reorder/change column names on interactive single row view

I have created an interactive report and grouped my columns to display nicely in a single row view report. However, once I initially add the columns to a group, I am unable to reorder them. I can move them up and down the list, but the changes don't save. Also, I have gone through column by column and unchecked the box that says Use Same Text for Single Row View and expanded the column name. However, the single row view still displays what is in the master report. I've tried closing out my browser completely and reopening, but I am still not seeing my changes. Any suggestions?

I also just stumbled about the "Use Same Text for Single Row View" option actually doing nothing - in Single Row View I still get the label text from "Column Heading", no matter what I enter in "Single Row View Label".
I had to adjust a column width using a span tag in the heading (as this seems to be the only way to do that - any other suggestions I found adding style information to the region header had no effect), and now that tag is displayed in the Single Row View label.
I can live with that for now, but it's not really nice.
Is this a known bug? Didn't find anything else in the forum regarding this problem so far.

Possible to exclude interactive report column from single row display?

hi -- I have an interactive report that I've added a column to (in addition to the table columns that are selected).
The added column is a link to a form for editing a single row. This column/link is in addition to the default link
that goes to a single row view. So, a row of the report has 1) the single row view link, 2) the Edit link,
3) the columns in the table.
The edit link column is named "Edit" (so Edit appears above the "pencil" link icon). Problem is that when the
user goes to the single row view, the Edit column is displayed. (I've set the label in the view to a blank space,
and the value is null (displayed as "-" in the single row view)... but it's generally ugly, and adds that nonsensical
line to the single row view.
Is there any way to never display that column in the single row view, but always display it in the report?
I've considered putting the edit link on the first column of the table... but I don't like that the link will move
if the user changes the column order. It seems it should always be at the left of the row, like the single row view
link.
Thanks,
Carol

Need to modify css for interactive report Single Row view

I've tried to go through and find the code for the Single Row View css in the interactive reports, but have been unsuccessful so far. I would like to change it so the Grouping headers are larger than the column names that are grouped under them. Does anyone know what style I would need to override in order to accomodate that?
Thanks!

Hi,
In the page's HTML Header, add in something like:
<style type="text/css">
.worksheet .worksheet_detail th.group, .worksheet_detail th.group {font-size:18px;}
</style>
If you use FireFox, I would recommend getting the FireBug add-in - this allows you to examine the contents of the page and shows the style class names used.

Shunt,
Does this happen on every record? Have you tried to recreate the IRR on another page as a test? Do a SELECT * FROM table...

Exclude column from ir in single row view

Hi Folks,
my prob: I have a very long long column (url) in my ir. In my report view I want to show it shortended and in my single row view I want to show the whole value.
So my query looks like:
select long_url, substr(long_url, 1, 30)||'...' short_url
from something;
Then I exclude the long_url column interactively with the "select columns" option in the Actions menu and save the report as standard.
Now my ir shows only the short_url in the report view, what is ok. But in the single report view it show both long_url AND short_url.
I want to get rid of the short_url in single row view. Is there any way without creating a custom form page?
Thanks!

same question in other words: is there an apex variable to distinguish the report view from the detail view?
please help!

Can i go straight to single row view of a report?

When I click on a link I would like to be able to go directly to a single row view on an interactive report - not to just select that row on the normal view. Anyone know how to do this?

Hi,
Actually you can go single row view of interactive report on page load.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=40323:48
And it is easy to do with dynamic action.
I did create Advanced dynamic action
Event "Page load"
Action "Execute javascript code"
Code gReport.controls.row('7369')-- this varies on your report . Just example for EMP table
Selection type "Region" and I did select region where is my IR
Instead hardcode primary key value to javascript, you can probably use item like
gReport.controls.row('&Px_MY_ITEM_FOR_PK')I can post how it can be done in Apex 3.2 if needed.

Set page item when going to single row view

Is there a possibility to set page items when going to single row view in an interactive report?
APEX 4.1
Edited by: Niels Delaere on Nov 21, 2011 4:59 AM

Thank you for your response, can you (or anyone else) give me a little more help? I can't seem to figure out how to get this working. The thing you are doing in your demo application is exactly what I want to do. Take two values of a certain row and set them in page items Where after in single row view users can see 3 additional regions with additional information based on these values.

Oracle APEX 4.0 - Interactive Report - Table Column Filter Issue

Environment: Oracle APEX 4.0 - Interactive Report - Table Column header Filter Issue
We have developed an interactive report using Oracle APEX 4.0, which contains a record count of around 3,000 Rows. All the rows values are unique in nature. When we try to filter the same with the help of column header filter option available in the interactive report,We get only 1000 records.
Could some one help us, why this behaviour under APEX Table Column Header Filter as if it does not display beyond 1000 distinct values.
Is there a way or workaround on how to get all the records in the column header filter?
Thanks in advance.

Krish,
Interactive report has hard coded limit to display 1000 rows of column filter LOV for performance. Unfortunately, the limit cannot be changed. The workaround is to define a Column Filter LOV for the column instead of using "Default Based on Column Type".

Next and Previous buttons in Single Row View

Hi All,
How can we add Javascript function call to Next and Previous buttons in IR Single Row View. Any ones help is much appreciated.
Thanks

They make a call to JavaScript, I'm guessing you knew that?
I'm 96.7% JS illiterate, so I'm incapable of explaining it.
You have to download the Spry Framework, unpackage it, look
in the Demos folder, then look in the Gallery folder. Gallery.js, i
think, is where that JS call goes to in order to switch out the
next/prev image.
the download is here:

How to convert single column into single row

I need to convert single column into single row having n no.of.values in a column. without using case or decode. I need a query to display as below.
emp_id
100
101
102
102
103
200
I need output like 100,101,102,103,104.........200.

I assume you want to convert 200 rows with one column into one row with 200 columns. If so, this is called pivot. If you know number of rows (max possible number of rows) and you are on 11G you can use PIVOT operator (on lower versions GROUP BY + CASE). Otherwise, if row number isn't known, you can use dynamic SQL or assemble select on clent side. Below is example emp_id = 1,2,..5 (to give you idea) and you are on 11G:
with emp as (
             select level emp_id
               from dual
               connect by level <= 5
select *
from emp
pivot(
        max(emp_id) for emp_id in (1 emp_id1,2 emp_id2,3 emp_id3,4 emp_id4,5 emp_id5)
   EMP_ID1    EMP_ID2    EMP_ID3    EMP_ID4    EMP_ID5
         1          2          3          4          5

How to edit "Single Row View" in Interactive Reports?

Hi,
When using Interactive Report when one clicks on the little page icon on the left on a gievn row - one is presented with a small output from all columns for that row.
For example login as demo/demo to:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=12988:1
And click on the first icon in the first row. You'll get an output like:
Empno     7839
Ename     KING
Job     PRESIDENT
Mgr     -
Hiredate     17-NOV-81
Sal     5000
Comm     -
Deptno     10
How (and where) can I modify the output of this?
Regards,
Pawel.

Thanks, for your responses.
In fact this is what I have done. What I am looking after is simply how to modify what is already there. That way, I don't need to create different pages with Next/Previous buttons etc... for every Interactive Report I have.

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... :')
