Interactive Reports - how to add a link to a document?

Hi there,
I have an interactive report that displays a list of items, I would like to add a column which displays a link for each item in the report, the link should display the Word/Excel document which is located somewhere on our network. The path to the document is stored in the table along with the items. Does anybody know how I can do this?
Thanks...

I got an answer from the Edge Commons dream team and I am very grateful to them :
"The problem that you bumped into was that you hadn't included a valid URL so far. We weren't sure if you wanted to include them within the SVG file or if you wanted to implement the functionality within Edge Animate. We came up with a solution for the latter one, with a simple switch in the js code:
You have to type in the appropriate URL of course for all the cases."
I have to share the final result:

Interactive report performance problem over database link - Oracle Gateway

Hello all;
This is regarding a thread Interactive report performance problem over database link that was posted by Samo.
The issue that I am facing is when I use Oracle function like (apex_item.check_box) the query slow down by 45 seconds.
query like this: (due to sensitivity issue, I can not disclose real table name)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox(1,b.col3)
, a.col1
, a.col2
FROM table_one a
, table_two b
WHERE a.col3 = 12345
AND a.col4 = 100
AND b.col5 = a.col5
table_one and table_two are remote tables (non-oracle) which are connected using Oracle Gateway.
Now if I run above queries without apex_item.checkbox function the query return or response is less than a second but if I have apex_item.checkbox then the query run more than 30 seconds. I have resolved the issues by creating a collection but it’s not a good practice.
I would like to get ideas from people how to resolve or speed-up the query?
Any idea how to use sub-factoring for the above scenario? Or others method (creating view or materialized view are not an option).
Thank you.
Shaun S.

Hi Shaun
Okay, I have a million questions (could you tell me if both tables are from the same remote source, it looks like they're possibly not?), but let's just try some things first.
By now you should understand the idea of what I termed 'sub-factoring' in a previous post. This is to do with using the WITH blah AS (SELECT... syntax. Now in most circumstances this 'materialises' the results of the inner select statement. This means that we 'get' the results then do something with them afterwards. It's a handy trick when dealing with remote sites as sometimes you want the remote database to do the work. The reason that I ask you to use the MATERIALIZE hint for testing is just to force this, in 99.99% of cases this can be removed later. Using the WITH statement is also handled differently to inline view like SELECT * FROM (SELECT... but the same result can be mimicked with a NO_MERGE hint.
Looking at your case I would be interested to see what the explain plan and results would be for something like the following two statements (sorry - you're going have to check them, it's late!)
WITH a AS
(SELECT /*+ MATERIALIZE */ *
FROM table_one),
b AS
(SELECT /*+ MATERIALIZE */ *
FROM table_two),
sourceqry AS
(SELECT b.col3 x
       , a.col1 y
       , a.col2 z
FROM table_one a
    , table_two b
WHERE a.col3 = 12345
AND   a.col4 = 100
AND   b.col5 = a.col5)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox(1,x), y , z
FROM sourceqry
WITH a AS
(SELECT /*+ MATERIALIZE */ *
FROM table_one),
b AS
(SELECT /*+ MATERIALIZE */ *
FROM table_two)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox(1,x), y , z
FROM table_one a
    , table_two b
WHERE a.col3 = 12345
AND   a.col4 = 100
AND   b.col5 = a.col5If the remote tables are at the same site, then you should have the same results. If they aren't you should get the same results but different to the original query.
We aren't being told the real cardinality of the inners select here so the explain plan is distorted (this is normal for queries on remote and especially non-oracle sites). This hinders tuning normally but I don't think this is your problem at all. How many distinct values do you normally get of the column aliased 'x' and how many rows are normally returned in total? Also how are you testing response times, in APEX, SQL Developer, Toad SQLplus etc?
Sorry for all the questions but it helps to answer the question, if I can.
Cheers
Ben

How to add a link to your message

Does anyone know how to add a link to a message?

laptopman,
As Klaus1 posted, you can also use the Character Palette.
In the Palette, select View : Glyph > Glyph Catalog. You will find the , among others, there.
You can copy & paste, or position the cursor where you want the glyph in a document, highlight the glyph, and click on Insert with Font.
If the Character Palette is not in your Menubar, open System Preferences > International > Input Menu: Checkmark Show input menu in menubar.
To open the Palette, click on the Flag icon in the Menubar, and select Show Character Palette.

Hi,
We can add the "JS Link Property" in the “WebPart” node in the custom list form page through SharePoint designer 2013.
Here is an example for your reference:

How to add attachment (URL) to parked document inbackground?

Hi guys,
I wonder how it is possible to add the URL (of external document) to parked document in the background (with BAPI)?
After I park document (for example with transaction FV60 or MIR7) a small button (called Services for Object) appears in the left upper corner (on the left side of the transaction heading) and when I click on it I can select option (Create External Document URL). That way I can manually add the link to external document.
But the thing I need is to add that URL in the background (through BAPI).
Actually I am doing the following thing: In one other BAPI I need to call BAPI for parking incoming invoice, and in that same BAPI I need to add URL to external document.
So, what I would like to know is: which BAPI's, or API's or whatsoever are used for creating these attachments, so that I can call them in the background (with another BAPI).
I would appreciate any kind of help because the project is running, and I can't find any solution for this problem.
Thanks for help!

How to add a link to an interactive svg using edge commons library

Hi,
I've been playing around with this wonderful Edge Commons interactive SVG tutorial
My question is : How to add an external link "url" to an interactive svg using edge commons library ?
Edge commons example file :
http://edgedocks.com/market/interactive-svg-example-project-edge-commons
Edge commons video tutorial :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UEB6gaLKuw
I have adapted this tutorial to an interactive map, http://madudesign.com/works/france/ every thing is going fine until I couldn't figure out to link a particular url on each part of the region of the map.
I managed to figure out how to change colors on the different parts of the map on mouse over and mouse out but I'm not quite comfortable with JavaScript since I don't use it every day...
I have tryed to link to an url by passing it on the illustrator layer and via the onclick event (event.target.id) to a simple url
http://redpen.io/6svh5u
then working in Edge and publishing on the browser the link returns me a weird url line by replacing the original url slashes "//" by "_x2F_" and I must have misunderstood the proper JavaScript line to open that link from there...
for example on my actual exemple "http://madudesign.com/works/france/"
the first top region of France is normally a link to "http://www.google.com" and it returns "http:_x2F__x2F_www.google.com" plus the complete path to the file too...
I don't know how to get around this trick and have back for each region a particular clean link from the event target id of the svg...
thank-you for any help

How to add a link to a report inline image?

Hi,
I use apex 3.1.2
I have made a report where I show a small inline image. The image is stored as a blob in the db (IMAGE:XXSMALLPICS:PICTURE:ID::::::inline:Download). It works fine, but I would like to add a link to the small image so that if I click on the image a larger image shows in a popp up window.
How can that be done?
I don't succeed to add any type of link to the image.
/Erik

Hi Sam,
Firstly, you have an error in your SQL statement:
SELECT FILE_NAME,
'<img onclick="javascript:showImage(this);" >src="#OWNER#.DISPLAY_IMAGE?inID=' || NVL(IMAGE_ID, 0) || '" >height="50" width="50" />' IMAGE
FROM A_IMAGES
ORDER BY FILE_NAMEYou have an extra > - it should be:
SELECT FILE_NAME,
'<img onclick="javascript:showImage(this);" src="#OWNER#.DISPLAY_IMAGE?inID=' || NVL(IMAGE_ID, 0) || '" height="50" width="50" />' IMAGE
FROM A_IMAGES
ORDER BY FILE_NAMEFor the Region Header - I just click on the report in the page definition and scrolled down to the setting called "Region Header". Then I pasted in:
<div id="imagediv" style="display:none; position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px; height:0px; width:0px; margin:0px; padding:0px; border:0px; background-color:whitesmoke;" align="center" onclick="javascript:closediv();"><table style="border:0px; padding:0px; margin:0px; width:100%; height:100%;" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr><td style="vertical-align:middle; text-align:center">
<img id="largeimage" src="" style="border:3px double darkblue;">
</td></tr></table>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var iDIV = document.getElementById("imagediv");
var iIMG = document.getElementById("largeimage");
function showImage(i)
iIMG.src = i.src;
iDIV.style.width = document.body.clientWidth;
iDIV.style.height = document.body.clientHeight;
iDIV.style.display = "block";
function closediv()
iDIV.style.width = 0;
iDIV.style.height = 0;
iDIV.style.display = "none";
iIMG.src = "";
</script>If you go back to my page, you will see that I have added two screenshots (Page41ReportSource.gif and Page41RegionHeader.gif) that show you what I have done on my report.

Interactive Report: how to get value of given row/col cell in selected row

Hi -- I have an interactive report. Instead of the default behavior of the link going to a single row view, I want it to
go to a form for editing the row. This means I have to be able to populate the form w/ the correct row's information...
so need to get the value(s) for the PK column(s) in the selected row of the interactive report, so I can select the row
from the database.
How can I do this? I see in the report attributes, Link Column section, I can set Rows Uniquely Identified by, and a Unique
Column (though there could be more than one in a PK). I imagine I'd want to use the rowid, but I'm not sure how the
rowid of the selected IR row can be referenced. And at that point, I'm not sure how to get the IR column value for
that row. (Say I'm on the 8th row and I need the first column... How is the column referenced? By a number, it's name,
its heading?)
Or maybe I'm not on the right track at all...
Ideas?
Thanks,
Carol

Hi Carol,
What I´m trying to do is: defining a button such as when you click it a pl-sql procedure is called, which needs as an input parameter the id of the row selected in my form. what I need first, then, is to get the id of the selected row. how did you get it?
Thanks in advance

Interactive report: How to display "count" column on total data set?

Hi,
I'm a relative newbie to APEX and would appreciate some help with the following:
I have an interactive report that will usually contain around 8000 rows.
I need to report the total number of distinct values in one of the columns - but I need to get around the limitation of APEX where it only counts the number of rows displayed on the screen.
I thought to create a separate region and use a separate SQL query to show the full total regardless of the number of rows displayed - however, I've now got the problem of not being able to access the interactive report "query", so, for example, if someone running the report adds a filter, I need the total to report with this new filter applied.
Does anyone know if I can:
a) get around the the limitation of only counting the number of rows displayed?
or, if not,
b) how to access the interactive report "query" that is being run?
or
c) any other way of doing this!?
I do hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for any help....
Helen

Hi all,
Thanks for your responses. They really are much appreciated.
I had hoped to spend some time on this over the weekend - but haven't got round to it. I'll work on it again tomorrow and will certainly look at the thread you mentioned Tony.
Sorry I'm not being very clear about what I want. Why are these things always so hard to explain in words :o)
I'll have another go....
I have an interactive report that would report around, say, 8000 rows. Obviously I don't want to display all 8000 on the screen so I'll probably display them in chunks of 15 rows. If I use the aggregation function on the report, I can add a count of the distinct account numbers to the bottom of the display, but it will only count the ones displayed on the screen. I need the count to be of all the rows - so 8000 instead of 15 - but still displaying only 15 rows. When a user then applies a filter to the report, I need the count to change in accordance with the filter - so if the number of rows returned as a result of the filter is now 4000 instead of 8000, I need the count to now say 4000 instead of 8000 even though still only 15 rows are actually displayed on the screen.
I'll try and pre-empt the questions...
1) There will always be duplicate account numbers in there so the count will never be the actual number of rows - but I'm simplifying above to help explain the problem better
2) Why would they want 8000 rows? Don't ask. I'm sure it's something to do with exporting the lot into an excel spreadsheet but they'll never admit it :o)
I hope this makes more sense......
Thanks again!!
Helen
P.S. Almost forgot again... I'm using Apex 4.1 on the Oracle hosted environment which I assume is 11g.

Interactive report column with an external link - Sort, chart functions

interesting.... the message text did not make it into the post (twice). But edit seems to work.
Our problem....
We have an interactive report with a column that in some cases will contain information allowing us to build a link. We have updated the report query to return the data tagged with the <a href..... on rows that can be links. The links are displayed and function correctly. However, if we click on the column header so we do something like sort, the page hangs. If we try to create a report using this column we get an error.
We have also tried marking the column as a link in the IR definition. With that design, the sort and reporting isn't an issue, but all the rows are links, which is not what we need.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Thanks, Nann
Edited by: Nann on Feb 6, 2010 11:07 AM

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your suggestion. We ended up with a slight variation in the design that allowed us to mark the column as a link.
Basically we have a column just for the link.
In our query we now have 2 columns. One that builds the url, the other the text we want displayed as a link.
If that row should not have a link in it the query returns null for both columns.
We only display the link column in the report.
We use the url column in the link definition .
We've disabled the sort and other functions on this column.
All works as we wanted.
Thanks
Nann

Interactive report performance problem over database link

Hi gurus,
I have an interactive report that retrieves values from two joined tables both placed on the same remote database. It takes 45 seconds to populate (refresh) a page after issuing a search. If I catch the actual select that is generated by apex ( the one with count(*) over ()...) and run it from sql environment, it takes 1 or 2 seconds. What on earth does consume the rest of the time and how to speed this up? I would like to awoid creating and maintaining local materialized views if possible.
Regards
Samo

Hi
APEX normally needs to return the full result set for the purposes of pagination (where you have it set to something along the lines of show x-y of z), changing this or the max row count can affect performance greatly.
The driving site hint would need to refer to the name of the view, but can be a bit temperamental with this kind of thing. The materialize hint only works for sub-factored queries (in a 'WITH blah AS(SELECT /*+ MATERIALIZE */ * FROM etc. etc.)). They tend to materialize anyway and its best not to use hints like that for production code unless there is absolutely no other option, but just sub factoring without hints can often have a profound effect on performance. For instance
WITH a AS
SELECT c1,
        c2,
        c3,
        c4,
        c5
FROM schema1.view1)
, b AS
SELECT c1,
        c2,
        c3
FROM schema1.view2)
SELECT *
FROM a, b
WHERE a.c5 = b.c3May produce a different plan or even just sub factoring one of the external tables may have an effect.
You need to try things out here and experiment and keep looking at the execution plans. You should also change Toads row fetch setting to be all 9's to get a real idea of performance.
Let me know how you get on.
Cheers
Ben
