Tabular form calculated summary row

Hopefully this may be a quick question with either a yes or a no
I have a tabular form with columns
Project Name , Wk1 , Wk2 , Wk3 etc ,
basically so PM's can track the hours against a project
I have used the sum checkboxes to create a summary row
but they also want a row that calculates how many hours remaining for each week under the week no cols , obviously subtracted ffrom the hours budget for each week assigned to the project and person
I've done the summary and calculation in a view but this isn't acceptable as a UNION query in a tabular form
I've also tried another region under the Tabular form but as the project name is a variable length its not easy keeping the Wk cols aligned
thanks in advance

Hi Gus/Paul,
I had the same requirements as you, resulting from the fact that newly added rows may not be visible to the user until he/she has scrolled down sufficiently, but, by lowering my standards (something I excel at :D ), I was able to find an acceptable compromise.
As you probably noticed yourselves, when you "edit" the ADD button, you can see that a call is made to the addRow() javascript function. I therefore took a look at the javascript code - foolish really as I am an oracle DBA from the Jurassic period. Needless to say it scared the pants off me... So, fuelled by cowardice, I snatched at an inferior-but-dead-easy-to-implement alternative solution whereby the page is automatically "scrolled" to the bottom of the form when the "ADD" button is clicked.
Should this "cop out" work for you, you can implement it in the following way:
1. Create a new HTML region immediately after the tabular form, containing the following source: <font color="blue"><a name="bottom_of_page"></a></font>
2. Amend the action when the "ADD" button is clicked to scroll down to the new region by doing the following:
- edit "ADD" button
- Go to "Action when button Clicked" section
- Amend "URL Target" from
<font color="blue">Javascript:addRow();</font>
<br>to
<font color="blue">Javascript:addRow();window.location='#bottom_of_page'</font>
<br>
<br>Regards,
Amr.

Custom Popup on a Tabular Form for Multi Row Operation

I am trying to implement a custom popup on a tabular form that I can pass a value typed in to a text item like âNameâ to the popup so it can filter a list of names on what was already typed in.
Once a selection is made I need to have the selected name passed back to the text item.
This is easily done when not using a Tabular Form. Any ideas would be great?

Can someone please help me with this?

Custom tabular form for multi-row not saving data

Ok, before anyone asks, yes, I did read the how-to:-)
I have a custom tabular form, which I did cause I need to use popups and the popups that you can use in the wizard tabular form does not display the text but rather the value underneath it.
It returns data rather nicely and when I go and update values I can tell it is changing the fields underneath. I put a process in that will display the values in text fields on the form (for one row only) and I see them changing from what is already there and with the proper values.
However, when I do that the data that is displayed then gets reverted back to what it was previous to the update but reports that the process was successful.
I have also tried to insert but that is basically doing the same thing. Can anyone guide me.

Florian,
Checkboxes are different from other HTML form items. When you have a text box for example, there's always a value send to the server when submitting. Even if that value is NULL. When you have a checkbox however, you only get the value if the checkbox is checked. It's not posted to the server when it is not checked. That's the general behavior of HTML forms and not specific to Oracle HTML DB.
When working with tabular forms in HTML DB, you can access your form values using the htmldb_application.g_f0x arrays. Now if you have for example 10 rows in your form, then you'll get ten elements in your array for text boxes, select lists, etc. For checkboxes however you'll only get as many elements as you have rows checked. If I read your update and insert code correctly, you're trying to use the checkbox arrays the same way you use the arrays based on other item types. My recommendation would be to use Yes/No select lists instead of checkboxes or at least use select lists initially to get it working and then work on properly processing the checkboxes.
Some general information about working with checkboxes in tabuar forms can be found here:

Hope this helps,

How to make a Tabular Form display NO rows until queried

I have a Tabular Form designed to displays rows according to user selections made in Page Items.
The Page for this Tabular Form is accessible from 2 origins.
1. Passes values into the Page Items. (I want all rows to display according to the values passed in)
2. A tab (Not the Standard Tab Set which allows selection of a values to pass to the page)
I can accomplish number (1) above,
But
Number (2) is the problem.
In the case of number (2) I don't want any rows displayed until the user selects the "Search" button.
Can someone help?

Hi,
You can make the report region conditional.
Display the region when
1) Seach box is not empty
or
2) Request = XYZ
when uses passes the value to page item , make sure it also passes REQUEST as XYZ..

Shijesh

Tabular form - adding new row

Hi,
I have a very simple table (5 rows, 1 of which is the primary key), and want to update the table using a tabular form. On initial display, the primary key column is protected (cannot be changed) which is ok for DELETE and UPDATE options, but when I come to ADD A NEW ROW, the new row has NULL defaulted as the primary key value, and will not let me update it !!
Does anyone know how I can leave the primary key column protected when UPDATING or DELETING, but allow a value to be entered when ADDING A NEW ROW ?
thanks
Tim

Andy,
Just made the following changes (to remove NARR1_CODE_DISPLAY and show and edit NARR1_CODE):
select
"NARR1_CODE",
--"NARR1_CODE" NARR1_CODE_DISPLAY,
"NARR1_LOWER_LIMIT",
"NARR1_UPPER_LIMIT",
"NARR1_RMP_MIDPOINT_1",
"NARR1_RMP_MIDPOINT_2"
from "#OWNER#"."DQ_PD_TRANS_DIST_BAND_NARR1"
where the column NARR1_CODE is my primary id, and in the report attributes, NARR1_CODE is now editable and shown as a "text field" . NARR1_CODE_DISPLAY has been removed.
However, when I go into my form screen, although the NARR1_CODE field is now editable, when I click ADD NEW ROW, enter the details for a new row, check the box alongside the new row and click SUBMIT, I get the following error message :
Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Error in MRU: row= 1, ORA-20001: ORA-20001: Current version of data in database has changed since user initiated update process. current checksum = "A884FA378C851786DDFE3A33709CB23C", item checksum = "F6395FDACE39D98E784F85C19D960620"., update "GRD_DD10_OWNER"."DQ_PD_TRANS_DIST_BAND_NARR1" set "NARR1_CODE" = :b1, "NARR1_LOWER_LIMIT" = :b2, "NARR1_UPPER_LIMIT" = :b3, "NARR1_RMP_MIDPOINT_1" = :b4, "NARR1_RMP_MIDPOINT_2" = :b5
sorry about this !
thanks

Not a tabular form, but getting row version identifier error.

APEX 4.1.0, Oracle 10g
Error is: Current version of data in database has changed since user initiated update process. current row version identifier = "47FAF7A2C1A5E49E0CF90D1320CCFC50" application row version identifier = "0"
I've seen this error in the forums for tabular forms, but my form is just a normal apex page with a standard fetch and a standard insert/update/delete process. It isn't a tabular form or a master/detail, just a simple form. There is not another person using the data. This happens on an update or delete and on several different pages for several different tables!
I've tried using debug, and from debug, I see that the error comes right after this:
...Execute Statement: begin begin select "NARR_ID","TEXT","PRJ_PROJ_ID","NARR_TYPE_PROJ"
into wwv_flow.g_column_values(1),wwv_flow.g_column_values(2),wwv_flow.g_column_values(3),wwv_flow.g_column_values(4)
from "BASIS"."NARRATIVES" where "NARR_ID" = :p_rowid for update ; end; end;
I more or less understand what the error is intended for. APEX produces a checksum of the table row values at some earlier point (maybe at the fetch?) and then produces another checksum of the table row values just before the update or delete. APEX then compares the two checksums.
Based on the error message, one of the checksums is "0". I'm not sure if the "application row version identifier" is the first checksum or the second checksum, but either way it shouldn't be zero. Right? So, why would this checksum be zero?

Tabular forms, referencing current row and using checkboxes

I've searched through the whole forum and read over 50 threads on referencing other columns in a tabular form only to find this impossible. Many of these threads were outdated so I would like to ask it again.
Can I use references between columns of tabular forms? So that value of one column equals the other's. (select a, b from c where d=othercolumn)
How can I get a workaround for lack of checkboxes in dynamically created tabular forms? (Standard tabular forms come with checkboxes for deleting multiple rows, can they be used in the same way but without writing manual reports?)
Please do not send me to
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=18326:54:17962256093711784584::::P54_ID:1282
I am looking for strictly dynamic, apex-like solution. Thanks in advance.

That supposed to be a query for LOV, should have mentioned that probably. By dynamically created tabular form I mean the wizard-created form which transforms query results into a form on the fly. I consider the HTMLDB_ITEM-style the manual way. After all, I'll probably stick to the manual method because I am creating this form on a view with INSTEAD OF triggers so the processing still needs to be done separately.
The question I asked referred to the internals of tabular forms' processing, behind the screen wizards there has to be some loop based on the query, I just wanted to reference other columns on the current iteration. (wwv.g_f01(0) ?...)

Once more - tabular form / update only rows that have changed

I know it's been asked before, but I haven't seen an answer I like. :-)
I have a query that includes a single column the user can update, using APEX_ITEM.TEXT(10, updateable_field, 10, 10)
I have an additional APEX_ITEM.HIDDEN(21) and APEX_ITEM.HIDDEN(22) that hold the two fields of the composite primary key. In order to track whether my updateable_field had changed, I created APEX_ITEM.HIDDEN(11, updateable_field), which I expected would hold the OLD value of the field. See where I'm going with this? :-)
I'm attempting to loop through apex_application.g_f21, get the values for F10 (new) and F11 (old) and compare them. If they're different, I'll do the update.
It works fine if the old value (F11) is empty and I plug in a new value (to F10).
But if I change a field that had already has a value (in F11) and make it NULL, I notice that F11(i) doesn't exist. In that case, I set the value to NULL, and the compare fails because it thinks the row is unchanged.
Can someone suggest or point me to an alternate method that works?
Thanks as always,
Stew

Mike,
Thanks for the suggestion, which is a good one. But I had that one covered.
I have it working now, and I believe the fix was that I moved the APEX_ITEM.HIDDEN that contained the old value in the query. I'd had it concatenated with the column for the new value (which used APEX_ITEM.ITEM). I changed it to concatenate to a plain string value. And now the array has values in it, which I can properly compare.
Thanks again. That was really driving me nuts!

Password Masking & Background Color for Multiple Rows in Tabular Form

Hi all,
I have a requirement of making a column in Tabular form, having multiple rows, masked(password field). I also want to give bg color to this field indicating that its a mandatory field.
I am unable to accomplish both at a time in my page. I am using Apex 3.2.
Waiting for your valuable comments. Thanks,
Regards,
Sandeep

APEX_ITEM API doesnot have a password function, but input fields of type password are available in HTML.
So you would have to change the field type to password in JS
That is from :
<input type="text" ...change it to
<input type="password" ...If you were using jQuery it would have been simpler, but to do it in native JS it is a bit more hard work.
Anyway here goes (a quick check in a tabular form seens to work fine)
var password_array=document.getElementsByName("f04");
for(var i=0;i<password_array.length;i++)
password_array.type = 'password';
password_array[i].style.backgroundColor = 'RED';
+Replace the "f04" with your password field's array name(use firebug to identify the field name)+
Does that solve your problem ?

Tabular Form - Setting a default value just on first row.

Hi all,
how to set a tabular form default value only in the first row?
When I click on "add row" I want the new row have a blank value.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
When you add a new row to the tabular form, any existing rows should be saved to the database. You can, therefore, check for the existence of such records and set the value of a hidden page item accordingly. The default value for a tabular form item can then be based on this hidden item.
This can be done by setting the Source Used to "Always, ..." on the hidden item called, say, P1_DEPTNO_DEFAULT, and the Source to something like:
DECLARE
X NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO X FROM EMP WHERE DEPTNO = :P1_DEPTNO;
IF X > 0 THEN
RETURN '';
ELSE
RETURN :P1_DEPTNO;
END IF;
END;This is a "PL/SQL Function Body" Source Type.
In this example, we are checking if there are any EMP records with a DEPTNO value that matches P1_DEPTNO. If there are, then the tabular form must contain at least one row already, so we return an empty string. If there are no records, the tabular form must be empty, so we return the P1_DEPTNO value.
The Default settings on the DEPTNO column in the tabular form would then be:
Default Type: Item (application or page item name)
Default: P1_DEPTNO_DEFAULT

How do I Create a Tabular Form for an Intersection Table

Situation
There are three tables involved (PROJECT, STAFF, TASK)
PROJECT(PROJECT_ID, PROJECT_NAME)
STAFF(STAFF_ID, STAFF_NAME)
TASK(PROJECT_ID, STAFF_ID, HOURS)
There is a many to many relationship between PROJECT and STAFF. The intersection table is TASK.
Issue
I would like to create a tabular form for the TASK table. I would like to be able to click on a button (Add Row) to add a row to the existing tabular form. The row will have a LOV for the PROJECT_ID (showing PROJECT_NAME) and one for the STAFF_ID (showing STAFF_NAME) and a free form text field for the hours.
I've tried a bunch of different ways but am unable to acheive this functionality. I must be doing something wrong. This sort of thing is trivial.
Any guidance/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Adding a new surrogate key column to an existing table is not that big a deal.
alter table t add (pk int primary key);
create a before-insert row-level trigger to populate the key;Other than that, you are out of luck w.r.t the wizards. Yes, you can define a 2nd PK column in the wizard, but then the 2 PK columns becomes read-only (but you want to update them).
You can write your own tabular form using htmldb_item APIs and your own after submit processes to process the updates. See the manual Tabular Form Howto in the documentation.
Thanks

Processing mutliple records on multiple pages in a tabular form

I'm a newbie to Apex (4.0). I have a tabular form displaying 500 rows records in multiple pages. The row selector is selected by defaulted ie. all rows have been checked. Upon unselecting items in multiple page, the Multi Row Delete (Post Processing Request) only deletes the records selected on the page. It seems like the ROW SELECTOR does not keep track of the checkboxes on other pages. Any thoughts on how to solve this would be helpful.
Thank you.
Ed.

Sybrand,
Thanks for the response. So in that case, how would I approach the following requirement:
Tabular form that displays 500 records each in multiple pages. The Row Selector column is selected by default. The user will uncheck certain rows in certain pages. I would like to perform a Multi Row Delete for alll the records that were selected.
Thanks,
Ed.

Creating a complex tabular form manually

Hi,
I am trying to create a tabular form manually. The tabular form consists of
rows , with each row containing
1. Select List (of employee names)
2. JOB (Text box)
3. Salary (text box)
I have a add button to add a row, a row similar in appearance to the above, i.e it consists of a select list of "employee names", "job" text box and "salary" text box.
I should to be able to specify the id for these items in each row that I add, I need to specify id for each item in each row that I add since, there is a lov image attached to each row, that would capture any data entered by the user in that row and take him to a popup page with the values specified in the main page.
Can anyone tell me how to specify id to the items I add (i.e when I create a new row).I also dont find any id created to the items in the form that I have created manually. Please note i am using the APEX_ITEM package to create the tabular form manually.

Hi Andy,
I would like to explain what I have done and kindly let me know if this is right.
I created a tabular multirow form using APEX built in component, since I wanted to add validations and I could not get a handle to UpdateMRU, I decided to create the tabular multirow forms manually using the example on the APEX howtos link.
I find that the multirow form which i created manually does not have any id associated with the items.
1. Please let me know if I need to add validations is there only one way i.e to create the multi row tabular form manually?
2.How do I specify the ids for each item. The APEX_ITEM APIs dont provide any way to add ids to items?
3.Is it possible to add validations to the multi row form generated using APEX wizard?In the sense , for eg, I have the employee table presented as multi row table, when a user adds a new row or modifies an existing row, he should not be allowed to add an employee with the same name, Now where do I do this valiation and how can I show the error against that row?
4. What I need to do further is. I have an image on each row (akin to a button) that would spring up a popup page with search options , so that I can repopulate values back into the parent page, to do this I need to pass the ids of the ITEMS to and fro from the parent to the child and back.
I would like to understand how to approach the above issues.
Would appreciate if you could let me know on the same.
Thanks.

Interactive report limits tabular form pagination.

Hey All,
I am running into a problem and I was unable to find an answer on the forum, however I did find that someone asked the same question but did not get any replies. So I will ask it again.
Pagination problem with interactive report and multi row update form
I created a page which contains both an IR and a tabular form. The IR behaves correctly and there are no issues. The tabular form on the other hand is not functioning properly. The problem I am having is that the tabular form will only paginate to the rows that are currently being displayed in the IR. For instance if I am viewing rows 6-10 on the interactive report the tabular form will start from row 6 even if my pagination scheme is set to view in increments of 20.
Another example is if the IR is is viewing rows 6-10 and the tabular form is viewing rows 1-2. If I paginate on the tabular form it will jump to rows 6-7 regardless of where its last position was.
So in short it appears that my tabular form always starts from the first row currently being viewed in the IR. Is there a work around for this or should I just ditch the interactive report?
http://tryapexnow.com/apex/f?p=700:2
I made a sample for you to check out.
Cheers,
Tyson Jouglet

Munky,
Thanks for the suggestion. It does indeed allow me to paginate but I hate the alert you get when PPR is enabled for a tabular form and unfortunately so do the users. :(
Cheers,
Tyson Jouglet
