Interactive Report - Saved Filter

Have an Interactive Report which will include a column which containing the email address of an employee and would like to create a saved filter on the report to filter on this column and reference the currently logged in users username.
Owner =APEX_CUSTOM_AUTH.GET_USERNAME
Not sure of the syntax to reference the user id of the active user in the saved interactive report. I have done something similar with classic reports by storing the user_name in a page item and referencing the page item in the SQL. This is a little different with Interactive report as I want to provide a series of Saved Filter users can pick from to filter the date in various ways; including seeing only 'their data'.
Jason

Jason,
You could do this in the query:
SELECT ...
CASE WHEN UPPER(your_table.username) = :APP_USER THEN 'Y' ELSE 'N' END user_match
Then put a filter on user_match = 'Y'

Special character in interactive report using filter

Hi,
I created an interactive report and in this report there is a filter to search any row from specific value linked to a specific column.
As example this report displays a board with some columns like "SR number", "Status", "Description", ....
If I use this filter with standard character all works fine :
- in the filter's list of values I choose "Region" column
- in the search field I put "SE"
- click on go and the board is generated with all correct rows.
If I use this filter with special character (french character in my case), this filter changes this special character and the request doesn't return any row.
Example :
- in the filter's list of values I choose "Statut" column
- in the search field I put "Réception"
- the filter's expression is modified from "Réception" to "RÃ©ception" so no row is returned (filter - Statut contains 'RÃ©ception' - no data found)
I modified the character set used by the apex DAD changing the nls_lang parameter in the wdbsvr.app file from AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 (database character set) to AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
But when I check the apex DAD character set after the web server restart (about Application Express in my workspace) I get :
NLS_CHARACTERSET: WE8ISO8859P1
DAD CHARACTERSET: ISO-8859-1
No change.
I used the Application Express 3.2.0.00.27 with Oracle E-business Suite (11.5.10.2).
Any help will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Olivier

Hi,
Thank you for your answer.
But I already installed french language on apex.
Unfortunately issue occurs yet.
To install the french language I followed these steps :
- I set the NLS_LANG to American_America.AL32UTF8
- sqlplus sys/**** as sysdba
- ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = APEX_030200;
- and I executed the load_fr.sql script
Thank you for your help.

Link to interactive report with filter values containing : or %

Hi,
I have an application written in PL/SQL. The application takes input from users, and then constructs a URL for an interactive report, concatenating the user input as filter values for the report. Sometimes, the input values contain characters such as the colon (:) or the percent sign (%). In these instances, APEX appears to ignore the rest of the URL beyond the first colon or percent sign in the filter values. For example, in the following URL, the first filter value is "Oracle Database 11g: Workshop I":
http://abc.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=129:8::::8,CIR:IRC_TITLE,IR_PROJECT_STATUS:Oracle Database 11g: Workshop I,Completed
The Interactive Report displayed for this URL shows all courses whose title contains "Oracle Database 11g" -- in other words, more records are displayed than should have been if the complete set of filters were applied in the query (i.e., TITLE = Oracle Database 11g: Workshop I, and PROJECTS_STATUS = Completed).
How should I construct the URL so that the colons (:) and percent signs (%) which may be part of the filter values are treated correctly?
Thanks,
Jenny

Thanks to Joel Kallman, here's the answer:
The ‘f’ procedure has a parameter named p_sep. This is the separator used for the arguments in the ‘p’ parameter in the call to the ‘f’ procedure. The default value for this separator is ‘:’, obviously.
If you have data values that contain the separator, then you can use a different character for your separator (you may need to manually specify the URL instead of using the declarative link attributes of a column in a report).
Using the pipe symbol ‘|’, I was able to take:
http://st-curr.us.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=129:8::::8,CIR:IRC_ROWFILTER:Database 11g: Administration Workshop I
and change it to:
http://st-curr.us.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=129|8||||8,CIR|IRC_ROWFILTER|Database 11g: Administration Workshop I&p_sep=|
which now works.

Interactive Report uncheck Filter when adding new filter

Is there any possibliity to uncheck all Filters which are already defined in a interactive report when a new filter will be created?
My first approach started by adding a dynamic action which is related to the search field:
event = key_down
jQuery Selector = #apexir_SEARCH
event Scope = live
The Action contains:
$('input:checkbox').attr('checked', false);
There are 2 problems at the moment:
1. When the user hits "go" or "enter" the checkbox are checked again when the result is shown
2. If a filter is defined where the search field is not used, it doesn't work

Hi Oliver,
too much hassle I think. You can try to hijack any POST message, analyze it, and if it's about p_widget_action=FILTER you'd stop the action and interfere with an AJAX call to APEX_UTIL.IR_FILTER or IR_RESET. After the AJAX request has returnd (synchronously), you can fire the original POST again which sets the new filter.
Hmm. Sounds to me like you'd better ask the client if he is willing to pay for that sort of convenience.

Interactive Report row filter item aliases

When trying to use row filtering on an interactive report that selects over 100 items, the aliases are alphabetic for the report columns but once they get as high as FZ they stop and are all aliased as \\ and become unusable. Is this a limitation in the IR?? Has anyone gotten around this???
Thanks,
Andrew

Jeff,
Thanks again for the response and for looking into it. However, if I am not mistaken, the url in that excerpt does the same thing as the URL I posted except that you used IREQ_COLNAME instead of IR_COLNAME (which defaults to EQ I believe).
I want to see if a value is in column a OR column b, etc. The "OR" is the all important caveat.
I would settle for being able to pass a value to the IR's main search box (that searches all columns of all rows) if I cannot do a targeted row level filter on a few select columns.
If anyone knows how to do either of those things, that would be great information to have.
Thanks,

2 Bugs found in V4 Interactive report Date filter

I've noticed a couple of bugs when trying to create filter in an interactive report on a date column.
1) There is no "=" operator available for dates
2) There is no Year navigator for the date picker. This is essential for Date of Birth columns. I have to click the previous month button 12 times for each year...thats 720 times to get to 1950 !

Hi,
you could add new computation "Added This Week" (Format -> Compute), with Computation Expression:
case when sysdate- B < 7 then 'Y' else 'N' end
--B is my date column
Then you can add color highlight, with **Added This Week = Y
Additional you can even hide computed column (Action -> Select Columns)
You can check example on http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=60428:1

Interactive Report - Date Filter Color Highlight SYSDATE Calculation

I have APEX 4.1.0.00.32. Straight forward items report, with a date field for when the item was added. I want to create a highlight filter (color highlights) for items added within the last week, called New Items
When I create the filter, it allows me to specify the name, color, etc., but the highlight date condition of "Added_Item > " only seems to allow for a specific date chosen from the calendar, whereas I want it to be "Added_Item > sysdate-7"
I haven't had any luck with TO_CHAR / TO_DATE functions around the sysdate-7. The filter just indicates Date YYYY-MON-DD HH24:MI is the expected format.
date functions not allowed? alternative?

Interactive Report - default Filter

I'm trying to create a report which would have a default filter (filter users can uncheck) which would be based on logged user :APP_USER
in another words if user JIRI logs in and goes to a page, he can see by default all his records (one of my fields is called RECORD_OWNER), but he can also remove the filter and see all records if he wants to
is this possible to have filter based on :APP_USER ?
thank you
jiri

Jiri,
You could make a check box item on the page which says something like "only show your records". lets say that item is called P150_checkbox and returns Y or N. then in your SQL statement you could put
SELECT <columns>
FROM <table>
WHERE (RECORD_OWNER = :APP_USER AND :P150_checkbox = 'Y')
OR :P150_checkbox = 'N'
{code}
Is that What you are looking for?

Saved Interactive Reports after APEX Upgrade

Hi,
When you do an APEX Upgrade are saved interactive reports kept?
Martin

I have been experiencing lost saved "as Named Report" Interactive reports, whenever I migrate the application from test to prod.
To clarify how we operate.
We have a test APEX environment that is separate to production. The Test app has a different App_id but uses the same schema name. In test the application Id is 1xxx (eg 1201) and in test 2xxx (2201). I export Test 1201 and then import into Prod changing the App_id to overwrite 2201. I always lose the saved reports. I just tried an experiment of creating the saved report in Test and seeing if it migrates to prod, but of course it does not.
How should I operate the two different Test and Prod environment to be "best practice" and not lose "as Named Report" Interactive report saved by the end-user?
thanks Peter

it works fine, but maybe someone can help me to have more than one "filter", how should the link look? i tryed:

Link to Interactive Report Using Report Column as Parameter Value

I'm using Apex version 4.0.
I have an interactive report that I want to link to a second interactive report in order to create drill down functionality.
The user will click on a column in the main report called "Insurance Company Name" which will link to the second interactive report and filter for that Insurance Company.
I'm just trying to pass the Insurance Company Name to a Page 0 Item and use that value to filter the drill down report. Pretty simple. I don't want to create a declarative filter on the second IR, if that makes sense. My query for the drill down report is something like:
SELECT *
FROM MARKETS
WHERE INSURANCE_COMPANY_NAME = :P0_INSURANCE_COMPANY_NAME
I can't seem to get this to work-I've created the column link on the Insurance Company Name field in my main report.
The values I have are:
Link Text: #INSURANCE_COMPANY_NAME#
Target: URL
URL: f?p=&APP_ID.:5:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.::P0_INSURANCE_COMPANY_NAME:#INSURANCE_COMPANY_NAME#
It links to the drill down report but the drill down report is not filtering for the Insurance Company Name selected. It's not picking up the value for some reason.
Thanks for the help.

Possibly the value is NOT in session state when you call the dropdown.. Open up your session state menu option in the developer menu and see if there is a value in the Page 0 item..
Why don't you just create a page item on the second IR page and use that in your Select statement instead?
Thank you,

Button branch to filtered interactive report

Is it possible to have a button branch to an interactive report and filter it per click of the button rather than using the search bar? Basically my user wants the same action as the search bar but in button form on the previous page.
I know, I know...somoetimes you've just gotta say, "NO" to users, as well.
Edited by: userRRRYB on Apr 12, 2010 1:06 PM

You could reference your form fields in the where clause like this:
SELECT something
FROM some_table st
WHERE (:F100_FILTER_01 IS NULL OR st.col_name_01=:F100_FILTER_01)
AND (:F100_FILTER_02 IS NULL OR st.col_name_02=:F100_FILTER_02);You have to compare the filter to NULL as well. That way, if they don't enter anything in the form field, they will get all records. I've done this with one app, and the users really like it.

Interactive Report - Save Default Filter not Saving

In Apex 3.2 I have an Interactive report were a Filter I applied won't save to the report.
I applied the Filter and saved it as the default report for all users, but when I leave the page and come back the filter its gone.
The same application on different pages has interactive report with filters applied to the default report and they all work fine, it's just this one report that the filter won't stay.
First time I've every had this issue.
Any ideas?
The filter is pretty simply, I have a column that has codes of D, E, G,... and I apply the filter for CODE != D.

Hi,
I've just been trying the "in the last" option and had no problems for any number that I entered. Are you just entering 1 into the box? What error do you get?
I've loaded the page with Debug switched on, and get:
select
 null as apxws_row_pk,
 "DATE_ID",
 "ATD_DATE",
 "CHECK",
 count(*) over () as apxws_row_cnt
from (
select * from (
select
apex_item.checkbox(1, DATE_ID) "CHECK",
"DATE_ID",
"ATD_DATE"
from "#OWNER#"."ATD_DATES"
) r
where ("ATD_DATE" between systimestamp - (1 * :APXWS_EXPR_1) and systimestamp)
) r where rownum <= to_number(:APXWS_MAX_ROW_CNT):APXWS_EXPR_1 would contain the value 1 as that is what I've entered for the filter. My report's sql statement is just the innermost nested select statement, the rest has been added by the IR functionality and the filter.

Clear Filter on Interactive Report

I created an application in Application Express 4.2.0.00.27. Four of the pages have interactive reports. I applied the filter to the report on page 46 to show only rows with LAST_NAME LIKE ‘%JONES%’ and the rows are filtered correctly. When I navigate to the calling page 12 and then back to page 46 the filter is still in effect. The clear cache on the calling page 12 is checked. Is there a property of the page or report which will clear the filter on page 46?

See Linking to Interactive Report in the documentation.
To reset an interactive report in a link, use the string "RIR" in the Clear-Cache section of a URL. This is equivalent to the end user choosing the Reset option from the interactive report actions menu on the target page. The report is returned to the default report settings specified by the developer or saved by the user.

VERY STRANGE Interactive Report Filter Error

I have a very interesting problem happening with an interactive report in my APEX application. The report runs just fine and has been in use for about 6 months. Just recently, the users have begun to run into problems when using the filter capability within the report. There is a specific column heading (RH Analyst) that they typically click on and select a specific analyst name (the list contains 10 entries). Most selections from the filter list work fine. However, when one specific name is chosen, they get the dreaded ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small+* error.
I have been working to narrow the problem down and have found the following:
1. The filter error is related to the content of one specific column (not the one I am filtering on)
2. The column that is causing the error is a CLOB datatype
3. The data in the CLOB column was inserted into the database from a form utilizing an "HTML Editor Standard" type of item
4. The data in the CLOB column was copied and pasted from an email that was being viewed using Outlook 2007
5. If I try to recreate the problem with exactly the same information, but copied and pasted from Outlook 2003, I don't experience the problem.
6. The only people experiencing this problem are people who have upgraded their system from Microsoft Office 2003 to Microsoft Office 2007
7. When I try to load the form with the data that was stored in the database, I get a 404 page not found error. This is the same error that I get if more than 32k of data was saved into the CLOB.
The data pasted into the HTML editor from Outlook 2007 (_this is the data that causes problems_) and saved to the CLOB looks like this when I extract it in SQL Developer

Roel,
Hey there! Hope you enjoyed your time off ;) Thanks for having a look...
Yes, of course I "could" update the functions, but this is NOT something I want to do. I'm one of those people that subscribes to Coding by Contract and the assertion routines at the beginning and end of my subprograms are an important part of that.
This may be a lack of understanding on my part with regards to the order in which Oracle does it's thing - or a bug in Apex... I'm able to duplicate the problem on apex.oracle.com: dmcghan/test/test.
Log into the demo app with admin/dmcghan. The home page has an interactive report, filter the name and you should get the error. When you look at the query you'll see a filter in the where clause that goes against the apex_collections table. This is populated from the post-authentication procedure. Let me know if you have questions.
