Reports layout - how flexible?

As far as I can see when I'm creating reports there are two basic type of layouts - one is a table where the columns are one next to the other, and the other is a "form" where the fields are one is under the other.
Can I somehow get more flexible layouts?
For example be able to specify that some fields will be placed side by side and other in new lines?
Thanks,
Shay.

you'd want to use a report row template to achieve that kind of formatting. we talk about them in our current OTN technote at...
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/notes/technote_htmldb_format.html
...can you take a look there and let us know if you need further assistance?
thanks,

How to link PDF document in Report Layout??

I need to display the contents of PDF document after the form letter report. I tried OLE object but at the runtime it does not display the content. Does any one knows how to attach PDF document in reports layout?
Thanks
Ravindra

you will have to concatinate your report output with the static PDF document. in reprots 10g you can create a cusotm destination that could implement this functionality.
out of the box, reports does not provide the ability to add static content in PDF to reports' generated PDF output.
thanks,

How to add/create additional page in Crystal Report Layout SAP B1

I want when user print Purchase Order then on last page also print some page like Penalty Clause etc.
Pls help me to find the solution.

Hi,
In your report footer, set it to create a new page before it is printed (In 'Section Expert', select the Report Footer -> 'Paging' tab -> Check 'New Page Before' checkbox). Throw your Terms & Conditions into the Report Footer section.
If you already have a Report Footer that you want to keep, just split the footer into two sections (Right-click the Report Footer section -> 'Insert Section Below') and follow the same procedure for the newly created section.

How to get EBS Concurrent Request number (and more) into BIP Report Layout

hi,
I have been using BIP for 9 months but have several years experience of Reports 6i development (matrix, drill-thru etc). We are beginning to use BI Publisher with EBS and would like to be able to incorporate the Concurrent Request number into the report layout (preferably in the footer area). I have looked back over previous forum posts and have found mention of how to get the report parameters into the XML datastream and template, but nothing for the Concurrent Request number. I've also looked at the DevTools/Reports forum but cannot see anything similar there.
It would add a lot of value to generated output for end-users if this information (+ environment/instance name etc) can be put into the layout.

How do I set individual properties for a column in report layout at runtime

How do I set individual properties for a column in report layout at runtime? I need to change this based on a user's input. This is for v10g.
I need to change either the "Read from File" attribute or the "File Format" attribute for one column based on the user's input. IS this possible?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
define 2 columns and use format triggers to show the one or the other column.

How to separate report layout sections in one report

All,
I'm trying to determine how to separate report layout sections in one report using Report Builder 10g. My requirement is to provide a user the ability to display a report in PDF, excel, RTF formats. How can I assign LayoutA to 'PDF' and 'RTF', LayoutB to 'Spreadsheet'?
I've attempted to utilize the Header and Main sections in the paper layout, which contain unique layouts of the same report, but during generation, both sections are being displayed.
Thanks
Edited by: Jdavis on Apr 10, 2009 10:56 PM

Hi there,
How are you running the report? If you are selecting different types of output before calling the report then you could pass a parameter that is checked at runtime in the report and suppresses the layouts you do not want using format triggers.

How to embed placeholder from report layout editor in a link

I have created a report selecting the custom report layout option. Rather than using a link on the column, I would like to add different links in the footer section in the Report Layout Editor. My problem is trying to create a link and pass a value from the report to the next report. I have tried to use the placeholder #fieldname.field# in an attempt to pass the value in my call to the other report object but it is not working. My actual call is listed below:
Address
When I click on the link the other report returns "No row returned". If I substitue the placeholder with a value I know exists the link works correctly.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can embed the placeholder in the link command. Any help would be much appreciated.

How to change report layout to "Landscape"?

Hi,
I am using oracle 6i in window 98. I want to change my report layout to "Landscape"? How do I do it?

May I assume you're using Oracle Forms/ Reports 6i? If so, you probably want to post in the Forms or Reports forum.

How to edit report layout

I have a report layout and noticed there is 'Column Template Width'. The content of column Template width is '<fo:table-column column-width="#COLUMN_WIDTH#pt"/>'.
I think i can change column width by modifing the code here. Does anyone know how to do it? Can you share with me your sample?

If you modify an existing template, the changes will immediately go into effect across your application.
That being said..
1) Create a copy of the template.
2) Modify an existing report to use the template copy by setting the appropriate template in the drop-down selection.
3) Now you can start experimenting with individual settings.
In the report template, there is a section where you can alter individual column designs such as the width. Normally, HTML will variably size the width of columns in a table to "fit" the contents on one line (if possible) and so that the entire table width can be displayed in the browser. If this is not possible the browser selects some middle point. If you wish to override the browser and manually set the column widths, you can use the Column Template Width setting to designate this. Simply replace "#COLUMN_WIDTH#pt" with your value: "80pt" for a fixed, 80pt width column.
For more on column widths and other HTML standards, check out the w3schools.com site for great tutorials and demos.

Create Report Layout (Apex 3.2) - How can I set the substitution variables?

Hi,
I created a "Report Query" under "Shared Components". I now want to work on the corresponding "report layout". I created a "Generic Columns (XSL-FO)". I read the following in the documentation:
The following are valid substitution strings:
#PAGE_HEADER#
#PAGE_HEADERFONT_COLOR#
#PAGE_HEADER_FONT_FAMILY#
#PAGE_HEADER_FONT_SIZE#
#PAGE_HEADER_FONT_WEIGHT#
#PAGE_FOOTER#
#PAGE_FOOTER_FONT_COLOR#
#PAGE_FOOTER_FONT_FAMILY#
#PAGE_FOOTER_FONT_SIZE#
#PAGE_FOOTER_FONT_WEIGHT#
#PAGE_WIDTH#
#PAGE_HEIGHT#
#HEADER_BG_COLOR#
#HEADER_FONT_COLOR#
#HEADER_FONT_FAMILY#
#HEADER_FONT_SIZE#
#HEADER_FONT_WEIGHT#
#BODY_BG_COLOR#
#BODY_FONT_COLOR#
#BODY_FONT_FAMILY#
#BODY_FONT_SIZE#
#BODY_FONT_WEIGHT#
#BORDER_WIDTH#
Where can I set the values for these substitution variables in my "Report Layout"? Could someone give an example? I can't seem to find documentation on this.
Thanks!
Francois

Thanks for the tip however I'm not trying to do this through the print tab, I'm calling the report using the following get_print_document in pl/sql code:
l_report_blob := apex_util.get_print_document(
p_application_id => l_application_id,
p_report_layout_name => l_report,
p_report_query_name => l_report,
p_report_layout_type => l_output_format,
p_document_format => l_output_format,
p_print_server => null);
Where could I set these substitution variables ? I'm simply calling a report query and layout created under Shared Components.
Thanks
Francois

Oracle report-how to change report layout to landscape?

Hi,
I am using Oracle report 6i. I want to change the report layout to Landscape. I had tried to go to 'page setup' and changed to 'landscape', but when I print, I still got portait layout.
Can anyone help me? Thanks.
Jun

Hi,
Easiest method for changing your reports orientation to Landscape is
Go to object navigator->System parameters->Orientation.
Set value of this system parameter as Landscape. Thats all. You also can set this property using srw. features at runtime.

How generate a crystal reports layout for Batch Report

Dear Experts,
I want to create a crystal reports layout for Batch Report that appears when printing Delivery Note.
I've tried using DocKey@ token but it only works in the delivery note layout itself. The following code at the select expert for this crystal layout doesn't work:
{ODLN.DocEntry} = {?DocKey@}
Kindly guide me in the above issue. Thanks.

I am using version 8.8 SP.00 PL.10
It is very strange that I cannot get the layout connected to the database as I have followed the same steps for all layouts. It all works fine until I get to the invoice stage and then I cannot make the connection.
(I dont need to worry about the sales invoice as this was provided at installation point by our vendor)
