Setting hyperlink in paper layout

Let's say you have three long text data items in your group. A formula item is created to concatenate all of them. There is only one field on the paper layout to source this formula column. If you want to set a hyperlink to the middle text item, how can you do it. You cannot set a hyperlink to the data item itself in the Data Model and cannot set a hyperlink to the formula item. You can set hyperlink to the field level but don't want to set it to the whole field. Remember, I want that one to be set only to the middle item. I can break up the field into three separate fields but doesn't look feasible as they have to be seen continuos.
Any tips appreciated.

You can do this for HTML output but you need to take control of things yourself.
You need to set the "contains html" property against the field and then change your formula column to insert the desired ... tags. You will probably also need to set the font type/size & color attributes.
Ideally, at some point, reports would support some sort of meta-data markup or allow you to have three fields and then concatenate them using &<f_1>&<f_2>&<f_3> in boilerplate but until they do...

  • Help: How to set paper layout to Landscape

    Hi,
    I am working on a report and I am trying to set the paper layout to Landscape. I were able to set the width to 11' and length to 8.5' for header and trailer section, but I can't set made the same setting for the main section. Here is the message that I got when I attempted to set the height in the main section to 8.5':
    REP-801: Layout canvas must remain large enough to fit all layout objects.

    You obviously have objects lying outside of those dimensions. What I would do is this:
    1) save your report under a different name
    2) select all the objects in your main section, and do a cut.
    3) change the pagesize to your landscape dimensions
    4) paste back in the objects
    I think that should work.

  • Reports 9.0.2. How to dynamically set graphic/chart width in paper layout?

    Hi there,
    I have a graphic with vertical bars in paper layout. Its width ranges from quarter of a A4 page width to several ones spanned. I have made the page width large enough but can not control the graphic width dynamically and when too much data must be shown on the X axis the bars get too thick to read.
    Is there another way except of?:
    - making the graph middle-sized and hoping that the client will not notice the visual glitch when too much or less data is the case;
    - using JSP (this is not an option here).
    To make the things worse, when the graph is expanded beyond a A4 page width or something its border reflects the change, but its contents is ugly shrunk.
    As I browsed this forum, I got convinced that the only way to get the graph under control at some extend is to use JSP web report.
    Anyone with experience on this? 10x in advance folks.

  • Problem in displaying Arabic Character in Paper Layout

    Ranganath,
    That means subsetting is not happening. If subsetting had been successful, you would have seen in "Font properties", the type of font as Type 3 and name of the font as Fx, where x could be 0,1 etc.
    The things I suspect are: 1) your report definition has some other font associated which is not Arial.
    2) You are not specifying correctly the subset information in uifont.ali.
    Open your report in builder and check again, what font you are using to display the data. Open the report in paper layout and click on the data field and check in the font box, the font name that is displayed.
    In your uifont.ali, make sure that under [PDF:Subset] section, you specify (if you are using Arial font)
    Arial = "arial.ttf".
    If you have any other entry regarding Arial in other sections of uifont.ali, comment those for the time being by putting # before those.
    Let me know the font properties after these steps.

  • Print Button in paper Layout reports

    Hi All,
    I have created a paper layout report with desformat = html.Its working fine.
    Now my requirement is to print the report after the report is displayed on the browser.
    Can I keep print button in reports ?
    Please suggest me a solution.
    Regards
    Srini

    Add some javascript to your report to submit the page to the printer. Use one of the report escapes (look at the properties of the report...double click the report in the object navigator). You can actually add some javascript in one of those escapes to submit the print job after the page has been loaded. I have never used one of those report escapes but that should work.
    if you can do that, you should also be able to add an html button to the top of the page to accomplish the same thing or add a hyperlink to the report that submits another report with desformat = pdf which will probably print out much nicer. All of this should work with using report escapes.

  • How to dislay other language font in Report Builder paper layout?

    How to I display other language font (e.g. chinese) in Report Builder paper layout?
    I have no problem displaying Chinese characters in web layout.

    If your NLS_LANG is properly set to chinese character set and if you are choosing the right chinese fonts, in Reports builder, your report paper layout should display chinese characters properly.
    If you are generating to PDF, then you might want to use PDF subsetting to display the chinese characters properly.
    See the documentation on how to use PDF subsetting.

  • Report Designer - Formatting in paper layout

    Hello,
    I have been struggling with a request to develop a very detailed report in printed (paper Layout) format.
    I am OK with the data output, but spending too much time trying to get the graphical formatting to an acceptable level.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on my issue below?
    Or - does any one know of a source for online help/totorials specifically for graphical layout part of design in paper layout?
    My Project is a shipping document. It has address type information repeating at the top of every page, item details in the body, and static general information at the bottom of each page.
    My challenge is with the static information at the bottom of the page.
    - If the document contains only a few item detials, the bottom information should remain at the very bottom of the first page and not move upwards
    - If the document contains more than one page worth of detials, the bottom information should print at the bottom of every page.
    So far, I got it to stop moving upwards, but now it is missing on page 1 and only prints onto page 2
    next part. In the static information is space to include a total Qty (the total is easy). I need the total to print only on the last page, all previous pages should print text such as 'Continued on next page'
    If anyone could give me a push in the right direction, i would be very grateful.

    Hamid,
    To simplify, I have removed any repreating frame from the bottom leaving only a large fixed frame containing multiple fixed frames.
    On your first suggestion:
    If I change Print Obect On: to 'Last Page' as sugested, I get an error 'Obect M_1 has an illegal print condition'. If I leave it set to 'All Pages', it prints but moves up the page immediatly following the last record
    On your second suggestion:
    I moved the fixed frame outside of the margin. And received very simiar results.
    I had read that I might need to use an anchor to make the position releative to another object. Might this be the case?

    Kanish

    Thanks for the advice.
    I am trying to run any iViews that connect to the R/3 back end.  I have read that you have to first connect to the SLD, and then set up the JCO connections.  Correct?
    I have got the SLD running, but I can't connect to it.  I have supplied the required SLD Data Supplier information in the Content Administrator. 
    In the Visual Administrator, under the SLD Data Supplier, I enter the Host, Port, User, and Password, but when I hit the Trigger Data button I get an error saying "Operation Failed!  Failed to collect SLD data.  Failed to send HTTP data: 401: Unauthorized.  Please check if the target SLD system is available and the SLD bridge is started there."
    Any help?

  • Need help adding a second page on reports builder, paper layout.

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where I need to create a paper layout using Reports Builder (10.1.2.0.2). This report will print out the following:
    1) Invoice

    If you have created your own template (but it sounds like you haven't) you will need to 'capture' that page so it repeats on following pages.
    The whole process is described here:

  • Items Moving on Paper Layout When Other Items are Moved

    I am new to Oracle Reports development, so I apologize for the elementary question in advance. I could not find a solution searching the forum.
    When I am moving a text item on the paper layout editor to reposition it other items are moving along with that item. I have set both the confine and flex properties off. What am I missing here?
    Thanks in advance!
    Kyle

    Problem solved.
    I just realized that the flex should be turned off since this option is used to keep item relations together when one item moves.

  • Setting Hyperlinks in PDF Portfolio

    Hi all,
    I have the following question concering Acrobat Portfolios in Verion X on Windows:
    The Portfolio is used for large summaries with lots of documents and folders. I need to set hyperlinks from one document to another, which basically works, but I cannot set the hyperlink to a document in a different folder structure inside the Portfolio.
    Am I missing something or does it not work.
    Thanks for replies in advance

    Moving PDFs to a portfolio changes the directory structure between the PDFs, so you have to manually edit all of the links between the files within the portfolio.

  • How to call the JSP(Web layout) instead of paper layout...

    Hi,
    Iam using Reports 10g. I have created a simple employees report. I have added a listbox in the jsp page by adding small Html and javascript code like below.
    <form action="http://www.wwt.com/reports/rwservlet?10000_reports_listing&p_extranet=p_extranet" name="First" method="post">
    <select name="p_extranet" onChange="First.submit()" >
    <rw:foreach id="RGSOURCE" src="G_SOURCE">
    <rw:getValue id="mysource" src="SOURCE"/>
    <option value=""><%= mysource %>
    </rw:foreach>
    </select>
    </form>
    When I run this report in the report builder as Web layout, Listbox is displayed with values inside.
    But when I move it to Apps server and run it through URL,
    listbox is disappeared. I think report is running the Paper layout instead of weblayout ??????????
    Could you please tell me what is the problem and How to force the Weblayout or JSP to run ?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You are running a jsp report through rwservlet. In this case paper layout will be displayed. You have to deploy your jsp as web report to get the web layout. Please refer to the doc below, which describes how to deploy the web report.
    http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/B10314_01/pbr_run.htm#1011901
    To run the jsp report, URL may look like
    http://www.wwt.com/reports/<jsp name>?<parameter list>
    Hope this helps

  • How to refer a field created at the paper layout?

    Hi,
    I created a field for total pages of a report in the paper layout.
    How do I refer to it in the formattrigger since I don't want to show it if there is only 1 page.
    I tried putting & or : in front of the field name but it is not valid since the field is not created in data model.
    Thanks for any help in advanced.

    You can't reference the total number of pages in any way (an often heard complaint on this forum).
    The workaround is to use srw.get_page_num on a format trigger of a field that you put at the end of the report. Then you know you are at the end of the report. If the page number is 1, you know there is only 1 page. Still a bit tricky how to use this in your case, but you may find a solution.
    I knew I posted something about this before. Here it is:

  • Apex 4.0 Paper Layout Reports

    Hi All,
    I'm exploring Oracle Apex for the first time. I have just downloaded Apex 4.0 and would like to see if I can create a paper layout report. For example I would like to produce a Profit & Loss statement as well as a Balance Sheet from my existing database tables.
    I have done something similar in Oracle Reports 6i some years ago.
    In Apex I have managed to create an interactive report as well as a SQL report. However, these don't look anything like a plain A4 report. I'm guessing this is possible with Apex ?
    Do I need to change the default theme for the page I have created ?
    Any hints will be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Billy

    Hi Tony,
    Thanks for the prompt reply.
    I have had a quick look on the net about your proposed solution to use cocoon. Although, it seems as though this may work it appears to be quite a tedious way to go from a user point of view.
    As for BI Publisher, it's quite expensice the last time I looked.
    I would have thought Oracle Apex could do something so basic out of the box. Maybe not !
    Thanks
