Report Template and Images

In my report(6i) template I would like to create an image object
that could be dynamically set depending on a user parameter. The
image object would be retrieved from a BLOB column in the
database. Is there any way this can be done?
Thanks in advance,
Kelly

Kelly,
We attempted the same thing, with no luck. Since there is no
data model to the template, we weren't able to drive the image
from a query. We also tried to do a database lookup in the
after parameter form trigger and store the values in
parameters. However, when you set a field in the layout editor
to a parameter, it takes away the option 'Read from File' (we
were storing our images on the file system) that you have with
data model objects. We resolved to adding the images at
development time.
Maybe someone else has come up with a solution.
Good luck,
Brett

  • Custom report template and URL links

    Hello,
    I have been working on this problem for some-time and it's starting to get frustrating. I am trying to 'mimic' the functionality of the 'people search' application and I am working on the hierarchy portion of it (page 3).
    I copied the (3) custom report templates (one for each level of the hierarchy) and I created three queries to go to each.
    My problem is that the links in the report template code keep getting mixed around -- the mgr_id is showing where the mgr_name should be, etc. In the example application the query has about 6 columns, and the template is only showing three (and the order of them in the report attributes doesn't seem to matter. But when I change the column order in my application, the data in the template changes??
    Here is an example query:
    select MGR_NAME, work_role,
    nvl(total_direct,0) Directs, nvl(total_reports,0) Reports
    from hr_orgchart_view
    where
    emp_id = :p3_emp_id
    And the matching report template:
    <tr align="center" valign="top">
    <td align="center"class="instructiontext">
    <b>#MGR_NAME#</b>
    <br><font size=-2>
    #WORK_ROLE#
    </font><br><FONT class="smallBlack">
    Directs: #DIRECTS#   Total: #REPORTS#</font></td></tr>
    Since the column name is being referenced as the link text, column order should not matter right?
    Please shed some light on this situation, as I am holding up development. I am using version 1.6
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Sorry, the code was messed up in previous post:
    Template:
    <tr align="center" valign="top">
    <td align="center"class="instructiontext">
    <b>#MGR_NAME#</b>
    <br><font size=-2>
    #WORK_ROLE#</font><br><FONT class="smallBlack">
    Directs: #DIRECTS#   Total: #REPORTS#</font></td></tr>

  • Difference Between Crystal Report Template and Sub Report

    I am not able to get the Report Template Option/menu.
    I am working with Visual Studio 2005 , Crystal Report Version 10.2
    Do i need to have Crystal Report Server in order to work with Template.
    Also i will like to know the diff. between Template and Sub Report?

    Hello,
    The Report Template Wizard is not part of Crystal in .NET. You need to upgrade to the full version of Crystal Reports.
    Template is a base report to work from. Subreport is another report object that can be inserted into a section of the main report.
    Thank you

  • Two naive questions: change report templates and customization.

    I searched the forum but didn't have the luck to find the exact answer.
    1) I've chosen the alternating row color template for one of my report, however I wanted to change it to another template, say standard. Is it possible, and where I may find the place to change?
    2) Is there a tutorial of how to customize the row color depends upon the value dynamically? Like an OBE. An elaborated example will be great!
    Thanks in advance.

    Radhika,
    Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, based on this statement from the one link:
    "Several macros in Sun ONE Studio IDE cannot be edited (for example, DATE, TIME, NAME of class, PACKAGE, etc.)."
    It would appear there is no way to alter the timestamp format.
    The question still remains of is there a way to access the year for a copyright stamp? If anyone else has any input, it would be appreciated.
    Thanks again Radhika for your assistance.

  • UIX Templates and images source

    My project structure is this:
    HTML sources
    images (folder)
    templates (folder)
    page.uix
    page.uix uses a template in the templates folder, which uses some of the images in the images folder. In the template, under <corporateBranding> I have an image with the source attribute set to "images/logo.jpg". In <globalButtons> I am databinding to a DataObjectList (albeit <inline>) and my source attributes for the buttons are set to "/images/imageName.gif" (note the leading "/"). I don't understand why these two attributes have to have different settings for the source as they're both getting their images from the same location. When I try the alternative source syntax the images aren't rendered. Anyone help?
    Thanks
    Ian

    The <image> inside <coporateBranding> is not processed any further and is
    converted directly into an HTML <img src=".."> tag.
    However, the source attribute of a <globalButton> indicates an image on the local file system that needs further processing. The image is colorized
    (depending on whether the globalButton is selected/disabled) and a border is
    drawn around it.
    Because of this difference, the relative root of the source of the globalButton is the servlet root, and not the current URL path.
    If the icon you want to use (as your globalButton) is already fully processed and does not need to be colorized (as described above), you may use the "icon" attribute (of globalButton) instead of the "source" attribute. The "icon" attribute is rooted exactly the same as the "source" attribute of an <image> tag.

  • Financial Report Templates - Creation and input of accounts

    Hi,
    At the time of creating Financial Report Templates, these templates can be very time consuming and tedious to create, as for the inputting of accounts within each account category - filling out one or more details...
    It would be helpful to have some kind of tool in which we could associate like in the GL all the sub accounts withing that account.
    I hope I have been clear enough,
    Regards
    Vivek Chand

    Hi:
    I'm agree with your post, all my customer are very angry with this functionality because the want use wildcards for input the account, if i input 71* the template will show all account which begin with 71.
    Now when they create a new account into the financial plan of accounts they must create also into the report templates and this work is hard and spend a lost time in it.
    Best Regards

  • Embedding DMS Documents within CG42 Report Template

    Hi All,
    We are using EH&S and DMS and would like to combine these two into a CG42 report template.  Through CG02, we have created specifications where we would like to have some value assignments instances take advantage of the user-defined text tab to pull in documents from DMS.  We have configured the system to successfully link in the DMS document info record into the user-defined tab within the value assignment area of CG02 and can view the DMS documents by double clicking on that reference.
    In taking this to the next step, we would like to embed this document into our report template definition.  Mind you that some of these documents are .pdf containing text and graphics.  Within CG42, we go to the specification symbol that we want and open the area called ADDITIONAL INFO, which then opens to other symbols, one of which is "ESTDF Additional Information - User-Defined Text".   When we open that node, it provides us with many attributes as options that we can embed within the report template.  The only one that relates to content is "GESTDHEADE HEADER Start of UD Text ".  It appears that all this does is just repeat the link that was specified in CG0 when we use the command to include that in the report template and then do a preview on the report.
    In reading some SAP Help Documentation in the section for user-defined text, I'm led to believe that you can embed these into the report template but I have not been able to do so thus far.  The only thing I can do is embed information about the user-defined text into the report template.
    Can someone shed some light if this is feasible?
    By the way, we are already embedding graphic logos by relating it to a phrase and keeping these images in a folder on a file server.  If we must, we can use that approach but I'd really lile to keep these documents in DMS as a controlled document.
    Thanks!

  • Report Template href with column value

    I have created a Report template and want to have a field that is a href with link to other page passing column value. I'm having trouble passing the column value. If I hard code the value the href code works. If I try to pass #1# or the column name with # surrounding the link doesn't work. Any ideas would be appreciated.
    This works:
    <td><img src="/i/edit.gif" border="0" alt="Edit Icon">
    </td>
    This doesn't:
    <td><img src="/i/edit.gif" border="0" alt="Edit Icon">
    </td>
    Thanks

    Hi Sergio, thanks I finally got it working using a call to javascript:popupURL.

  • Access to customizing default: report templates

    I seem to remember far back in the corners of my memory, someone here on the forum mentioning that although we didn't have access at the time (probably back at HTMLDB 2.0) to customize the default report templates, that there were plans to make this an option in a future version of Apex. Does anyone have any idea if this is something that is being planned, or better yet, available today?
    If you're not sure what I'm talking about I'm referring to the field that says 'Report Template' in the 'Layout and Pagination' section of the 'Report Attributes' page in the application builder.
    The problem I'm having is that I'm using the 'default: vertical report, look 2 (show null columns)' report template and I've got some long column headings that I want to include a line break between each word of the heading, so they're stacked vertical instead of wide horizontally. I've add HTML break tags to the headings but they're disappearing when the page is rendered.
    I've made sure to set the 'Strip HTML' setting to 'No', but whether it's set to yes or no doesn't matter, the headings display the same either way.
    BTW, doing the same thing in a template based multi-row report seems to work fine. However, trying to use/apply the 'Value Attribute Pairs' report template yields the same result as the default vertical look template.
    So I have 2 questions:
    1) anyone know how I can make these heading words stack up vertically, one word to a line?
    2) are we going to get access to customize the default report templates?
    Earl

    Hello,
    1) anyone know how I can make these heading wordsstack up vertically, one word to a line?
    Probably the best way to do this is to just hard code
    a &lt;br /&gt; between your words.That's exactly what I'm doing (and what I said in my original post), however those breaks are disappearing during page rendering when I choose the report templates I mentioned.
    I don't understand why this technique works in the multi-row report templates and not in these vertically oriented value/attribute report layouts.
    2) are we going to get access to customize thedefault report templates?
    No, you should just use a regular theme based
    template, the default report templates are there for
    backwards compatibility and well basically for people
    that don't care about the UI. Since your at the point
    it seems you do care about UI the proper thing to do
    is to move to a standard report template that you
    have full control over.Fair enough. I'll look into that, but I think there's still an open question here as to why the HTML breaks aren't being returned in the page markup for these report layouts.

  • Report Template - Standard, Alternating Row Colors

    I'm using APEX 4.1.0 and theme 22 on Oracle 10g.
    I have some tabular forms in my application. For 2 of those, row deletions are allowed and I have the usual select box column to manage the row deletions. Also my users like the "Standard, Alternating Row Colors" report template and would like to see the alternating row colors whenever possible. Unfortunately I get the "Error on page." browser error in IE when I check a row selector box using this template. When I use a different report template I don't get this error.
    The tabular form functions correctly so this error is harmless, but I would like to know what it is for. I'm sure my users would rather not see that error.
    By the way, in Firefox the firebug error count increases and I get the following error in the console:
    TypeError: can't convert undefined to object
    [Break On This Error]      
    ...ovedColor)}gLastRowMoved=b}function html_RowUp(e,d){var c=$x_UpTill(e,"TR");ie_R...
    apex_4_1.min.js (line 18)Because all of the whitespace has been helpfully removed :) it's hard to see which expression is undefined and why.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Jackie,
    There must be some issues the apex_4_1.min.js file, try to reload it. In apex.oracle.com the tabular form with "Standard, Alternating Row Colors" just works fine.

  • How to reference a customised report template

    Hi
    I've created a copy of the standard reports template and modified it so that it does conditional highlighting. I only want to reference this template in one instance in my application so I want to keep the standard template for the other reports.
    How do I reference the new template without disturbing the other report templates?
    Thanks
    Andrew

    Only works for classic reports, click on report that you want to change in the region area of the builder then Report Attributes then change the Report Template in the layout and pagination section and apply changes. for IR's you have to override the IR CSS definitions in your page template.

  • BI Publisher server vs. Siebel report templates

    I am investigating creating BI publisher reports using data from Siebel.
    Do you know what the advantage is of integrating BI Publisher with Siebel vs. using BI Publisher Desktop to create report templates and just adding these into a Siebel database to view the data that way?
    Putting this another way, are there any advantages to running reports in BI Publisher server vs. running them in Siebel?
    E.g. Is there anything else you can do with the data in BI Publisher server that you can’t do in Siebel?
    Thanks
    Steve

    Hi,
    The Main Difference is that reports in Siebel can Manipulate data, whereas BI publisher can only read data and publish processed output, it cannot Modify data in the Database.

  • EHS & WWI: Error creating Report Template

    Hi all,
    We have installed WWI for defining report templates and cannot create the templates from cg42.
    Let me try to reproduce my steps:
    1. Enter cg42 and create a new template, entering the name and descirption (i.e. TEST WWI, Report Template Example)
    2. Save the template
    3. Display the document (F7)
    4. Error message: "Cannot display document TEST_WWI vesion00" Message no. C$563
    But if I change to display mode then if I press  the Document button (F7) the report template is displayed.
    Do you know why this could be?
    Many thanks and regards,

  • I can't use my Report Template !!!

    Hi friends,
    I built my Report Template and saved it as Inatel.tdf, after this I created a report using the Inatel.tdf template and the Report Builder generated this code :
    <rw:style id="Inatel">
    <link rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" href="css/-B">
    </rw:style>
    In the second line : href="css/-B"> -B ????
    Is it a bug?
    If not, what am I missing to do?
    I think that I need to create the css file, but how can I create it?
    Is there some document about this? Where it is?

    Artur,
    tdf files are only usable with paper based reports, not web based as you seem to be attempting.
    Take a look at rwTemplates.xml (under orawin\reports\templates) and follow the examples there to create a web template (which you can then add to cauprefs.ora so that they show in the builder).
    For a web template you will need:
    a) An HTML file to act as the basis of the generated jsp.
    b) A css file that maps the class set used in the template to some styles (see examples in orawin\reports\docroot\css). Note that this css file will need to be available to the page after it's generated.
    There is a paper planned on this that's currently being written and will be published on OTN once complete.

  • #PAGINATION# in the report template

    Hi there,
    (Apex 4.0.1)
    I am modifying the Standard, Alternating Row Colors report template, and in the After Rows sections I put:
    <tr><td class="pwc_ReportHeader">#PAGINATION#</td></tr></table>
    </table>In other words, I want the pagination to be displayed in the last row in the table, using a specific style.
    However, this is what is generated in the page:
    <tr>
      <td class="pwc_ReportHeader">
        <tr>
          <td colspan="7" align="right" >
            <table summary="">
              <tr>
                <td class="pagination"></td>
                <td class="pagination"></td>
                <td nowrap="nowrap" class="pagination"><span>1 - 2</span></td>
                <td class="pagination"></td>
                <td class="pagination"></td>
              </tr>
            </table>
          </td>
        </tr>
      </td>
    </tr>As you can see, it replaced the #PAGINATION# placeholder with a table inside a tr, which completely messes up the layout I want. These tags don't even have IDs or classes associated to them so it is impossible to style them using CSS.
    Where did those tr and table come from? Is it possible to change what is generated?
    Thanks

    {thread:id=1047198}
    (I'm sure there are others.)
    Where did those tr and table come from?From the innards of APEX.
    Is it possible to change what is generated?Maybe. Never done this, nor seen it done:
    {thread:id=1025125}
    Another approach would be to use a Dynamic Action/JavaScript to modify the APEX-generated elements in the DOM.
    These tags don't even have IDs or classes associated to them so it is impossible to style them using CSS.IDs and classes are not the only CSS selectors. Unless you're stuck in quirks mode on IE6/7/8/(9?), you can use attribute, child, adjacent sibling and pseudo-class selectors to target those elements.
    If you post the complete report template we can try to identify possible selectors.

Maybe you are looking for
