I have a form on top of a report, and when the user updates values in the report, the form pops up, they make edits, and then click "Apply Changes". There are many rows in the report and right now I have pagination set per every 15 pages. The report is set to enable partial refreshes so the data updates right after the user clicks "Apply Changes". However, if I am on any page other than the first page of the report, it resets the pagination and brings me back to the first page. Is there a way to update the report but stay on the page I'm making the edit for? That way the user can immediately see the change they made through the form.
I was able to solve the issue by using a Dialog Closed dynamic action executing the following javascript:
window.location.reload(false);
It refreshes the browser after the user makes edits, and the pagination does not reset. This is a workaround because the Refresh dynamic action resets pagination. Again this is in APEX 5.1.3.
Which Apex version do you use? I've just tried it on apex.oracle.com which runs Apex 20 and - no problem at all. Once I edit some value in a form, branch returns me to interactive report, to exactly the same page which I left.
Check branch's Behavior - it is set to redirect to page or URL, target is page where the interactive report is; check other properties for the target. Its action should be set to "None" (offered are: clear regions, reset regions, reset pagination which might be set in your branch properties).

I am setting up dynamic filters for the IG using new APEX_IG package method add_filter. So from Page 1 I click oin the link to go to Page 2 where I have interactive grid. Through that link I set a couple of page items on page 2 and based on those items I create filters using APEX_IG.ADD_FILTER. So the setting of the filters has to be done on PAGE_LOAD.
On page load I use a DA that calls APEX_IG.ADD_FILTER if a specific page item is not null. When I open the page first time, I do not see the filters applied, they only show up after I manually refresh the page. I added a refresh action for the IG after executing ADD_FILTER but that does not do anything - in order to see the change I still have to manually refresh the page.
I cannot add any refresh action or submit page action under page load since that will refresh the page repeatedly. What is the best way to programmatically refresh the page after applying or removing the filters?
If the issue is just on page load, you could add the call to APEX_IG.ADD_FILTER in a pre-rendering page process instead of a dynamic action. This works fine for me. This blog also explains that a full page refresh is needed.
I have made a region containing 2 display only items and a button.
The button performs some dynamic action (execute pl/sql query) and the page is refreshed every time the button is pressed (submit page action) .
Is there any way that on click of the button only that particular region gets refreshed instead of the whole page?
Also for the display only items, lets say
item_label ==> item_display_value
how to add this (==>) symbol in between?
If the page is submitted, then it will refresh completely - that is how apex works. But if a submit is not needed, you can add an action of "refresh" to the dynamic action and remove the submit. Make sure the "Behaviour > Action" property of the button is set to "Defined by dynamic action".
Note that not all region types support refresh, but all report types do.
I am trying to refresh my page and after refreshing the data is still available where after refreshing I don't want data to be present on that page. How can I achieve this one?
NOTE: I have just created a blank page and not the page with form.
Can someone help me as I am new to APEX?
On click of the refresh button, the data shouldn't present. Kindly let me know how can I achieve it?
In apex your data is cached for performance reasons. If you refresh it just will pick up the data from the cache again. You can change this behaviour by clearing the cache for that page. That option is available from all the places where you link to another page (button, branch, link, list entries, etc).
I have a page Item on Apex 19.2
In page validation where i'm setting the value of the item : P1_MyItem. The value is set properly in session state. However it's not reflected immedialy in the html item. I still need to reload the page to get the right value in the item.
Is there any way to reflect it immediatly please ? (without reloading the page)
Thanks.
Cheers,
You need to ensure Items to Return lists any item that is updated within the PL/SQL, that you would also like updated within the web page once the dynamic action is completed.
As opposed to 'Items to Submit', which sends any information in pages items the browser is aware of to the database, before execution of the PL/SQL block.
Page processing now defaults to using Ajax. So, if a validation error occurs, the page is no longer re-rendered by default because the assumption is that validations will not change session state. If you want to see your changes, you'll need to locate the page property named Reload on Submit and set that to Always.
But, of course, that means the page will be re-rendered/re-loaded which is what you're trying to avoid.
Also, it's not possible to set the page property to Reload on Submit if you want to use an Interactive Grid on the same page. It requires the option Only for Success, so you have to refresh the page item somehow else.
I have a Submit Page button on my Apex page. If I click on it, it sets the values, sends the form and refresh my page.
Is it possible to keep field values, or repopulate them somehow after page refresh?
Thanks in advance
Yes, this is default behaviour unless something has been done to remove the session state data. Check your page processes for something that 'resets cache'.
Also check the branch to ensure it's not clearing cache for the page you're re-opening.
Also check the source of the items. Is it using source definition "Always", or "Only when session state is null". What's the source?
