Tabs vs Lists for Navigation

I have an application that includes several data entry screens, administrative functions, security, and lots of reports. So many reports that I can't fit them all into a standard navigation region.
I currently use the One Tab Set template, and there are nearly 200 pages in my application. The idea was brought up to add a second set of tabs to make report grouping more feasible. My own experiments with two tabs and many of the posts here on the forum lead me to believe that perhaps navigation lists are a better way to go. Can someone point me to a tutorial or thread that details this more? Are they talking about context menus where you click on a tab and you get a drop-down list of pages to navigate to? Are they referring to lists in the breadcrumbs (I'm already using breadcrumbs effectively in my application)?
I'm looking for some ideas. Thanks.

I can't point you to a reference but I can tell you that both options two level tabs and lists are doable. However, lists are easier to maintain than the two level tabs. Breadcrumbs are different than lists. The point is that you can display your pages similar to how I did it in the demo application:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:1
where I use second level tabs on the left side of the page. This could be replaced by lists at any time. The only point I see here is that tabs are created automatically and the lists need to be updated manually.

The option transport is missing in tab change list for both IR and ID. We have created the track, maintained the systems in the NWDI but still no luck.

How do I set numbered lists for headings in Pages 5.2, and keep that system of numbered lists saved?

I have tried to set numbered lists for headings in Pages 5.2 but have not succeeded. I have read similar questions concerning this but this has not helped me...
When I say numbered lists I mean something extremely important and simple, for instance:
1. Introduction
1.1. Background
1.2. Purpose and Questions
2. The Legality of Clause X
2.1. Legality under Article 101.1
2.2. Legality under Article 101.3
And so on...
Heading 1. is selected as "Heading", 1.1 is selected as "Heading 2", and if I had 1.1.1 it would be selected as "Heading 3" and so on...
I have navigated my way to the Format window, and under the tab "Style" and down to "Bullets & Lists". I have here selected the following: Numbered, Numbers, 1. 2. 3. 4., Tiered Numbers, Continue from previous.
There are several problems with this currently.
First, based on the example it becomes "2. Background" when it should be "1.1 Background" instead.
Second, after writing some body text between the headings and then select a new heading, all the previously selected settings I mentioned above in "Bullets & Lists" have to be reselected.
So, how do I set numbered lists for headings, or so called sub-headings, in Pages 5.2? And how do I keep that selected system of numbered lists saved so I don't have to retype it for every new heading I type? (e.g. so that Pages knows that every time I choose Heading 2, I want it to number the heading in the way selected)
Obviously, manually writing the numbers for every heading is not a viable option, as it makes table of contents problematic and is simply tedious. You need an automatic way of doing it, especially if you write long documents where keeping headings in order is absolutely essential.
Also, reverting back to previous Pages versions (like v. 9 I think?) is not an option as that does not exist on my recently purchased Macbook Pro.
I need to be able to do this on Pages 5.2 and do it automatically.
I appreciate any help with this.

iWork '09 is not "outdated" it still works and works extremely well and whilst not perfect with MsWord it is far far better than Pages 5.2 which has a stream of major issues with exporting. It is also way better and faster to use than Microsoft Office.
So what is your time and work actually worth? If it is less than $19.99 for 6 months, you may as well just chuck it in and take that job on minimum wages.
You are assuming things for Office 2014 with absolutely no inside knowledge. Much as we assumed Pages 5 was going to be the long awaited improvement, but ended up being a downgrade to match the iOS version, Microsoft is headed the same way with their mobile versions.
This is not like getting the "latest" pair of pants where you go with the crowd and throw out your cigarette legs which replaced the flares, which replaced your low cuts which replaced your cigarette legs, which replaced…
This is work.
If it does the job and does it well, use it. There is nothing out there to really match what Pages '09 does. Yet.
LibreOffice can do most but not all, but has a UI that only a mother could love. It's great redemption is that it uses both open formats and the standard Microsoft formats and is under active development. It also opens and saves to just about everything. When they finally work out the Pages formats, I'm sure they will open those as well.
I use a lot of professional software. Just because the publisher's marketing department says change the product so we can sell more, doesn't mean you have to pay any attention whatsoever. Adobe being a classical example. Most designers are just ignoring their latest subscription based bloatware and getting on with their work.

Trying to identify my tabs in my tree navigator sql

Hi
I have a similar probem as in the post of "how to reference current tab on page zero"
see url Re: How to reference current tab on page zero?
I have 4 tabs and many pages. I want each tab, when clicked, to show only the pages on my navigator/tree on the left that apply to that tab.
e.g. tab 1 has pages 4,5,6,7 that should be shown on the tree
tab 2 (when clicked) should show pages 8,9,10,11 only on the tree.
Also, I cant have multiple navigators on page 0 for each tab either.
Basically, I want my navigator on the left hand side should be dynamic, based on the tab I click.
I've gotten this far (select statement below), but I don't know how to reference the current tab that I've clicked on / the current tab is active (#TAB_NAME#)
select "MENU_CODE" id,
"PARENT_MENU_CODE" pid,
decode(menu_type,'FL','<img src="#APP_IMAGES#folder.png" border="0"
style="vertical-align:middle">&nbsp<b>' ||menu_description,
'PG','<img src="#APP_IMAGES#pgm.png" border="0"
style="vertical-align:middle">&nbsp<b>' ||menu_description,
'PG','<img src="#APP_IMAGES#tree_group.png" border="0"
style="vertical-align:middle">&nbsp<b>' ||menu_description) name,
decode(page_name,null,null,'f?p=&APP_ID.:'||page_name||':&SESSION.') link,
null a1,
null a2
from "CANELAB_NAVIGATOR" a, APEX_APPLICATION_TABS b
where b.display_sequence = a.menu_group
and b.application_id = :app_id
and b.tab_name = #TAB_NAME#
order by MENU_CODE
When I hard-code the tab name to be 'P_MANAGEMENT' (the name of one of my tabs), it works.
But when I put it in as in #TAB_NAME#, then I cannot see my tree and instead i see the error message
Warning: Tree root ID "10" not found.
Please help as urgently as possible?

Hi,
Firstly, :APP_PAGE_ID will tell you what page you are on, so you could use that to query the tabs table and/or style your list to show the "current page"
Secondly, the tabs are designed to issue a doSubmit('#TAB_NAME#') javascript call that triggers the submit of the page and passes whatever value #TAB_NAME# is as a request value. You can capture this, but this should be done outside of any page:
1 - Go to Shared Components, Application Items and create an item called, say, G_TAB
2 - Go to Shared Components, Application Processes and create a new computation. This should be PL/SQL and should be in the "On Submit: After Page Submission - Before Computations and Validations" process point. The code for this should be:
BEGIN
:G_TAB := APEX_APPLICATION.G_REQUEST;
END;Now, *:G_TAB* or v('G_TAB') is available to use wherever you need it.
Note, though, that this would be updated to any request value that triggers the submission of a page (including buttons) and would not have a value when the first page is loaded for the first time. You should, therefore, update the above code to only update the G_TAB value when APEX_APPLICATION.G_REQUEST is in a specific range of values - it would help here if your tab names followed a naming convention (perhaps, "T_.....") so that you could use LIKE. For the first page, you could create an Application Computation that sets G_TAB to a Static Assignment of whatever the tab name is for your first page.

Album list for iPhone in iTunes is missing albums from iTunes library

There are albums which appear in my iTunes library but do not appear in the album list for my iPhone while it is connected to iTunes. The albums were recently added by being imported from a CD.
In iTunes, I click on my iPhone to open the menus and options related to syncing the iPhone. Then, I click the tab for music. There are four large boxes: Playlists, Artists, Genres, and Albums. The albums for the CD that I recently imported is not listed in that box. I cannot check the box to have it added to my iPhone.
To circumvent this, I went to my iTunes library, selected the albums, and dragged them over to my iPhone.
While the problem is solved, I don't understand why the album was not listed where it was "supposed" to be.
Thanks,

Hi,
Sorry to learn your music lost, but let me be suspicious here; iTunes does not delete music by itself.
Given say that, you have lost music. First thing to verify is does your music is deleted from the iTunes Music Folder or is it just removed from the iTunes library.
You should do some search on your hardisk to see if you can actually found the music files. Depending of your iTunes setup, these files could be store at different location. Usually, they should be found in /User/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Artist Names. But your could use spotlight to do some research; tell us you could find on your disk any of your lost music!
Beside, there is also a feature in iTunes 7 that let you backup your music to disc if you have a DVD burner, it will take you a few minutes.

Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops?

Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops? I assume it would show the new price in the Wish List but does it inform you if the price drops?

The apps which show on the file sharing section on your iPad when connected to your computer's iTunes, you have exactly the same apps installed on your iPhone - they are not separate iPad and iPhone apps that you have installed on your iPad/iPhone, and only the iPad version supports file sharing ?
For iBooks, that won't show, it doesn't support file sharing. You can add ibooks / epubs / PDFs to your computer's iTunes library (the iBooks app if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it) via File > Add To Library, and you sync them to a device via its Books tab :
If you want to copy them off the device to your computer's iTunes (to the iBooks app on Mavericks) then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases will copy them over (that will copy PDFs and epubs from the iBooks app on your device, not just ibooks).

Check list for creating a cost element?

Hi,
Who can provide a check list for creating a cost element?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Linda

Hi,
Cost Elements are broadly of two categories - Primary and Secondary cost elements.
In case of primary cost element a GL Account should have been created and in case of secondary cost no corresponding GL account should exist. Secondary Cost Elements are used only in Controlling Module. The transaction codes are:
KA01 - Create Primary Cost Element.
KA06 - Create Secondary Cost Element.
KA02 - Change Cost Element
KA03 - Display Cost Element
KA04 - Delete Cost Element
KA05 - Display Changes
Once transaction data is posted Cost Element cannot be deleted.
Another point in Cost Elements is defining the Cost Element category. Cost Element category determines which Cost Element category can be used for which Business Purpose. For example cost element category 1 is used for primary costs and 11 is used for revenues.
In the default account assignment tab, we can define a cost center / internal order and always the postings for that cost element will be posted to that cost object.
Thanks
Murali.

Why PR department can see invited vendor list for RFQ

I found that PR department can see invited vendor list for RFQ in PR Document Status tab. In my company, invited vendor list should be kept confidential and only authorized persons can access. As PR authorizatin control is not down to PR creator, this information may be disclosed to other non-related persons wihtin same purhasing group. In SAP, I would like to know the rationale to let the PR department know the RFQ vendors. Moerover, I want to understand the current industrial practice on treating RFQ vendor list information so that I can make recommendation for senior review. Thanks in advance

Hi,
You issue well explained the 50% of solution. As you said importance for all organization to have secured and efficient authorization concept. Based on organizational structures and business processes an authorization matrix( is just working sheet) is very useful for to control all t.codes under Module / Business role specific.
For example:
Purchase Requisition (internal purchasing document) is a request by any department to purchasing department to supply material or provides service. Only here user(Mr.X) in department create PR(ME51N) and Department head (Mr.Y) release (ME54N)the Purchase Requisition(PR). For change PR , you can use Mr.X and you can have another User ID Mr.Z { Mr.X, Mr.Y & Mr.Z should not have access for RFQ or PO details}
Once Purchase Requisition released, then its responsibility purchasing organisation or respective purchasing group (buyer) , start work on determining source by sending Request for quotation(RFQ,ME41) to different vendors by Mr.A. Once all quotation received, you can maintain quotation in ME47 by user Mr.B. In vendor selection process, you can compare quotation in ME49 by user Mr.C.( also you can set approval process for Request for quotation ME45 by Mr.D) {Mr.A, Mr.B,Mr.C,Mr.D may have access on PR but no access on PO)
Once Vendor decided, user (Mr.E) can create Purchase Order (PO )and then it will be released by Mr.F, so then only PO print send to vendor. {Mr.E & Mr.F have access on PR & PO}
Likewise you should have different users for authorisation based on role in inventory management ( Mr. G can receive goods, Mr.H can have authorisation for Excises, Mr.J can have issuing goods)

What is the Home Videos tab within Movies for iTunes 11.0.1

What is the Home Videos tab within the Movies list for iTunes 11.0.1?
I can't find anything about it.

There is a simple solution to error code 3072 when installing upgrades.
Ensure all other users are logged out.
This fixes the problem. From my experience so far you do not have to reboot your mac.

"Tab Also Current for Pages" is automatically cleared when reusing page

I'd want to reuse a page, and include it in the "Tab Also Current for Pages" list of 2 standard tabs, that are displayed conditionally. But when I include it in the second tab, it is automatically cleared in the first. This only happens in the detail Tab edit screen, in the multi tab edit screen the pagenrs are not cleared. So I can achieve what I want, but for future maintanance this is very risky.
Is there any way to avoid this?

Hi Capt Egg
I didn't mean to say that there wasn't a case for a page being associated to more than one tab -- quite the opposite! More than once I wished that could be done...
But the fact is that currently in Apex we have:
- A tabular form that allows you associate the same page to multiple tabs (and worth mentioning, allows you to enter anything in the Also Current Pages column, not only a list of page numbers!)
- A form that doesn't allow you to do so, and validates if you entered a list of valid numbers in the Tab Also Current For Pages field.
Something needs fixing, and in my experience with Apex the forms I've seen seem to be much more strict in terms of validations than tabular forms for a number of reasons.
I am guessing that the form is the correct one and implements the intended rules. If that is true, the potential bug in the tabular form may be fixed in the future and the OP won't be able to maintain his applications that used this hack anymore.
Or maybe not, maybe the bug is in the form. But I would seek clarification on this before going down this route...
