Interactive Reports hooks

Hello!
Is there any way to hook to Interactive Reports to:
1) do select of an option item in a widget filter (table header) from JavaScript and submit the report request (usefull when comming to an IR page from another page and want to "pre-filter").
2) have a JavaScript code (function) executed before and after IR execution (say after selecting new filtering and after getting the data).
Haven't seen anything similar to this on the forum nor in the documentation. Any comments appreciated.

Hello,
Please check the following segment, in the documentation - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/appdev.310/e10499/app_comp.htm#sthref981 .
The f?p syntax can be used with JavaScript.

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.

@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... :')

Interactive Report Refresh and JQuery Plugin Issue

Hi,
I have Interactive report in my page. I am using jQuery context menu plugin , so when user right click on a column he get an option to add , delete , update and other option.
javascript pseude code for context menu
$(function(){
context_menu();
function context_menu(){
$('.Col1').contextMenu();
}Suppose User Selects Delete option. In this case jQuery popup appears and users enter the data which is saved to table using on demand process. After that using gReport.search('SEARCH') , I am refreshing the page...
Now the issue arises ------ Now when i right click the column my jQuery context menu is not working ...
Workaround used ----- I added onmouseover=context_menu() function to the column link... and it working fine..
Now my question is ... each time the user moves the mouse over column it will run context_menu() function ..... Will there be any adverse issue .. or memory leakage issue...
Please advice..
Thanks,
shijesh

Hi,
I think there should not be any issues to do that way. You need of course test it carefully.
You can run stuff after IR refresh also on Apex 3.2.
See e.g. this post
Apex 3.2 hook javascripts to IR and execute those when report is refreshed
I have included that to my jQuery "plugin" for Apex 3.2

Can i have more than 6 columns to sort in interactive reports in apex 4.1?

As of now on clicking on Actions->format->sort only a select list with six columns is displayed in an interactive report . Is there any possibility to add more number of columns in this ? Can anyone help?

Hey there. WELCOME to the world of Macintosh. You are in for a great ride with this machine and platform.
Some good news for you regarding cameras. The neat thing about iPhoto, and indeed, the Mac, is that there is no setup required for hooking your camera to iPhoto. In fact, ANY camera you plug into the Macintosh that it recognizes will automatically work with iPhoto!
I regularly use three different cameras with my iPhoto application. As soon as I plug into the USB port and power on my camera, the Mac figures out that it needs to start up iPhoto. iPhoto figures out how to talk to the camera, and gives me the option to import pictures from the memory card... no configuration, no extra software to install. I do this with a Canon camera, and two different Sony models.
It's painless!

Open document from interactive report

Application Express version 4.0.2.00.07.
In apex I am trying to accomplish the following:
1. create a link to a pdf or Word document stored on local network using the file browse button.
2. store the link to that file in my table but not store the actual document in the oracle table.
3. open the document from link in interactive report.
My dba does not want to store anymore documents into oracle because of performance issues we are experiencing with current applications that do this. Does anyone know the where to find sample code that will accomplish this task or will load the linked document into the oracle table but delete the document from the blob when the document is closed.

You're probably looking to use the BFILE functionality - a pointer to a LOB on the filesystem.
Try looking at some of the following sources for guidance

Questions on Interactive Report Icons

When I created an Interactive Report, rectangular icons have been automatically created on the left side of the report on every line.
When clicked one of the icons, it displays the details of the line in vertical order.
Here are my questions:
1. When I've hidden some columns in the interactive report and clicked the icon, it does not display hidden column details. But I want to hide those columns only in the report but displays all details when the icon is clicked. How can I do this?
2. How can I hide the icons?
3. How can I use the icons not to display line details but to direct to an editable page to edit the same details?
Thanks,
Guy

Hello
1. When I've hidden some columns in the interactive report and clicked the icon, it does not display hidden column details. But I want to hide those columns only in the report but displays all details when the icon is clicked. How can I do this?You can create another region, or page that will show your row description by identifier or rowid. You can do this by changing Link Column type to "Link to Custom Target"
2. How can I hide the icons?Go to Interactive Report -> Link Column -> Link Column change to (Exclude Link Column)
3. How can I use the icons not to display line details but to direct to an editable page to edit the same details?The same as answer 1.

Interactive Report view is empty

Hi,
I'm on CRM 7.0 EHP3. I'm encountering empty report criteria and display when open the Campaign effectiveness and all other interactive report page. Please see the screen shot below. There is no error message on the screen, as well as ST22.
I've configured the interactive report and ran the configuration wizard /CRMBW/CONFIG_WIZARD successfully and no error found.
Also the roles SAP_CRM_OR_ADMIN, SAP_CRM_OR_CONFIG and SAP_CRM_OR_USER and SAP_ALL are given to the user in both clients.
Please let me know what could be the causes.
Thanks in advance.
cheers,
julius

Okay, problem seems solved. I don't know if it is a bug or a feature... (: Anyway, this view selects data from threads that had been created from a portal application. And if you create threads from WC_Collaboration server admin console, there's no data will be selected with FORUMCRAWLER_VW view. Sorry, have no time to check SQL query for those DB view, may be this behaviour is reasonable.

Interactive report column filters to display differently than column values

Greetings...
We use images a lot in our interactive reports to provide a visual representation to a status, or something locked for update, or what-have-you. By default, when a user clicks the column heading of a column which contains images, the drop-down list that shows up displays the actual images, which is nice for the user to identify exactly which thing they want to filter on. The problem is when the user selects on of the options in the filtering drop-down, the resulting condition that is displayed under the interactive report search bar is the HTML code of the image. I'd like something else to display there because showing the user the HTML code is atrocious.
I didn't think what I want is possible, but then I came across the Page Locks page within ApEx (page 4000:291 in ApEx 4.0.1) which displays a list of all the pages of an application and whether they are locked or not. It also allows you to bulk lock or bulk unlock a bunch of pages. That page uses an interactive report with a column called "Status" which contains images that represent whether the page is locked or not. When you click the "Status" column heading to filter, instead of seeing the images of an open and closed lock, you see the words "Page Locked" and "Page Unlocked." And even better... when you select on of them, the condition that is displayed to the user is very user-friendly.
Can someone tell me how this is done so I can replicate it in my own apps?
Shane.

Why not create the IR using the text you require e.g. 'Lock', 'Unlock' and then use JQuery to replace the text in the report with the image you want. All the filters should then show the plain text and the report will display the image. e.g.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=46801:1
Here's what I did:
Firstly make sure the IR has a region template.
Then create a Dynamic Action with the following attributes:
1. Advanced
2. Event: After Refresh
3. Selection Type: Region
4. Region: [select the IR Region]
5. Action: Execute JS Code
6. Fire on page load: [checked]
7. Code:
$('td [headers="TEST"]').each(function(index) {
if ($(this).text() == 'Lock') {
$(this).empty().html('<img src="/i/htmldb/icons/locked_small.gif" alt="Lock" />');
else {
$(this).empty().html('<img src="/i/htmldb/icons/unlocked_small.gif" alt="Unlock" />');
});Where TEST is the column name.
That's it, this may also be of interest:

CRM Interactive reports not loading any data on WEB UI

CRM BI client is setup properly by following CRM IR config guide C41.
/CRMBW/CONFIG_WIZARD doesn't show any major errors. I am able to create
the custom interactive reports but when these reports are executed no
data shows up in the report.For example ,we are building interactive
reports under opportunities area for a user, who has opportunities in
the system.
Our CRM Sytem is on CRM7.0 EHP1 SPS3.
Thanks
Thirumala

Hi Thirumala,
if still relevant (sorry for the late reply): check if the user is assigned to a business partner (employee), which is assignet to a correct position in the CRM Org model, and that this business partner is the employee responsible of the sales documents you want him to see in the reports.
Alternatively, the user's business partner can be a manager of such an employee.
Best regards

Unique id in interactive report

Hello
how can I add unique id to interactive report? This id has to remain unchanged if I move application to other workspace. I know there is interactive_report_id, but I am not sure if it stays unchanged when I will move application to other workspace.

In the region definition.
Attributes - Static ID:
Enter value to identify this region. You can reference this value using the substitution string #REGION_STATIC_ID#. Referencing this value can be useful when developing custom JavaScript.http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15517/ui.htm#BABBEJJD
