I have an interactive report apex5.0 which contains several fields.
Would like to disable 'edit' pencil option link where payment_date & code is populated.
Link is to be enabled only where payment_date & code is null.
Disable the edit button for a particular row, based on a specific value in its column.
For ex. If a grid has 3 columns A,B,C and if B contains "Apple", and '01-jan-17', the edit button for that row must be disabled.
What are the different options to do this kind of functionality in apex5.0, enable & disable "EDIT" based on certain criteria?
You could also add a case statement to your report's query.
E.g.
(Case when [some logic] then
--display link
'<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#menu/pencil16x16.gif" alt="" />'
End) as col_link
The above example will only display a link if the case statement is met. The link will point to page 47 and we will pass the query's Id column to page 47's item P47_ID
In order to treat this new column as a link you must change the "display as text" property to "standard report column"; you can achieve this when editing the report attributes.
One way is to use JavaScript on page load:
Let's asume that first column is with ID and used to show edit link. Second column is your product name like Apple. Just disable click on this element(cell with ID) or change link, img etc.
var table = $(".a-IRR-table tbody");
table.find('tr').each(function (i, el) {
var $tds = $(this).find('td'),
productId = $tds.eq(0).text(), //first column with ID and edit link
product = $tds.eq(1).text(), //second column
Quantity = $tds.eq(2).text(); //third column
if (product == 'Apple'){
$tds.eq(0).click(false);
$tds.eq(0).replaceWith('');
}
});
Thanks to this answer for JavaScript: Loop Through Each HTML Table Column and Get the Data using jQuery
EDIT:
To hide value based on your Query use CASE. For example:
SELECT
CASE
WHEN B = 'Apple' THEN
'<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#edit.gif" alt="">'
ELSE ''
END edit_link,
A,B,C
FROM TABLE_NAME
Click on column edit_link and make it of type Link
Choose your target to edit page
For link text select #EDIT_LINK#
Escape special characters must be set to NO
On Report Atributes set **Link Column** to **Exclude Link Column** (you have custom link column so don't display original link)

I have a Select list filter on the top of the page. I want its return value to get into any column which I create in IG report automatic DML process.
Suppose, Select list has a value "Step", when I add a row in IG report, that value should be saved into DB for one column which is hidden on UI.
I tried but sometimes it stores the value which I selected in Select list item as my last selection not the current one. Do I need to create Application item for this? Please help. TIA
In this case there is a table ig_tickes with a status column. On the page there is a page item P131_STATUS (select list) with values "OPEN" and "CLOSED". There is an interactive grid on table ig_tickets with column STATUS hidden. Functionality is that user selects a value from the select list and then clicks "Add Row".
Give the interactive grid a static id of "tickets"
Create a dynamic action on change of P131_STATUS with a true action of type "execute javascript code" and code:
var model = apex.region("tickets").call("getViews").grid.model;
model.getOption("fields").STATUS.defaultValue = apex.item( "P131_STATUS" ).getValue();
That's all there is to it.
I have a Master Detial with 2 interactive grids.
I would like to be able to genrate a link based on user input....is that at all possible?
To give a simple example:
Lets say I have website like https://www.google.com/
I would like a user to enter anything...for example "Prague"
Once this is entered, I would like APEX to generate a URL from it to result in: https://www.google.com/Prague
Now I know that Google search does not work like that, but I need that sort of mechanism for our internal company app. Is this possible?
Ideally , once the grid is saved the link in the Interactive grid only said "Prague" but if I click it, it would direct me to https://www.google.com/Prague
This can be achieved using the "JavaScript Initialization Code" attribute of the column.
Example on the EMP sample table (*). Functionality is that when a user enters a value in the ENAME column, it is converted to a google search url.
Create an editable IG on table EMP
Set the type of column ENAME to "Text Field"
Set "Javascript Initialization Code" for column "ENAME" to
function(config) {
config.defaultGridColumnOptions = {
cellTemplate: '&ENAME.'
};
return config;
}
Notice that the column now is a link. A user will have to open in new window to get the actual link value, since clicking the column will active the edit mode.
(*) Sample dataset can be installed using SQL Workshop > UTILITIES > Sample Data Sets > EMP/DEPT
yes, you can let user enter the value and by creating a dynamic action(choose the when attribute as whatever suits you) you can take that value and on another column, use that column as &Columnvalue. for example and concatanate it by using to base url using ||
I understand that the default behavior of LOVs is the following:
SELECT business_desc as display_val,
business_id as return_val
FROM businesses
This attached to a select type page item P1_BUSINESS will display a list and when a list row is selected, then assign the business_id value to the page item P1_BUSINESS.
Is there a way to build a list of values to set the value of more than one page item that are not displayed? Using the below SQL:
SELECT business_desc as display_val,
business_id as return_val,
form_type,
individual_flag
FROM businesses
Where now when a user selects something from P1_BUSINESS it sets the values of that row/record as follows:
P1_BUSINESS = business_id (like it does by default)
P1_FORM_TYPE = form_type (P1_FORM_TYPE is a hidden page item)
P1_IND_FLAG = individual_flag (P1_IND_FLAG is a hidden page item)
I know I can do this with an onchange dynamic action, but just curious if can do inside the LOV or select page item (P1_BUSINESS) declaratively.
In Shared Components > List Of Values, there is an attribute "Additional Display Columns". The help text on that screen says it all Additional display columns can be defined for item types that support multiple display columns, for example the Popup LOV. For item types that do not support multiple columns, these will be ignored. If adding additional display columns ensure that the return column is included in the column list. The return column can be set to Visible No and Searchable No if you do not want it displayed to users.
Example using emp/dept sample data:
Create a list of values on table emp with return empno and display ename. Save.
Edit the LOV and click Additional Display Columns > Select Columns. Select job as additional column.
In the IG, set Visible and Searchable to "No" and Apply Changes.
On the page, create 2 page items: P1_EMPNO (type popup LOV) and P1_JOB (type Text Field)
For P1_EMPNO, pick the LOV created above as shared component > List Of Values and add JOB:P2_JOB under Settings > Additional Output. JOB is the additional column name/alias and P2_JOB is the item it should map to.
Now when you run the page, observe that P1_JOB is populated when you select a value for P1_EMPNO
I have a form with items P1_APP and P1_USER.
P.S. P1_USER is select list.
Display John
Return 1
Display Andy
Return 2
I need to disable when user selects John.
When P1_USER = 'John', P1_APP should get disabled which is a multi select list.
I created dynamic action on P1_APP, True Action= Disable,Affected element P1_APP
Client condition : Item =Value
Item= P1_USER
Value= John
However this is not working.
I have used similar logic to disable interactive grid items and was able to do so. Why is this not working for form?
EDIT: In Value now i am putting 1 which is return value for John.
However when i select John. It disables P1_App upon clicking. But remains disabled even when i choose Andy.
This works for me using the following configuration.
Create form and report on EMP - everyone has access to that sample data, it is a good idea to post questions based on that.
In the form P3_DEPTNO is a select list with source
SELECT d.dname, d.deptno FROM dept d
Add a page item to my form P3_APP. This is a select list with "Allow multi selection" enabled. Select list has 2 static values.
Create a dynamic action on change of P3_DEPTNO.
Client side condition: Item = Value
Item: P3_DEPTNO
Value: 30 (note that this is the return value for SALES, not display value)
add true action of "Disable", affected item P3_APP
Click true action and select "Create Opposite Action". Save.
When I run this it work. Selecting SALES in the select list disables the item P3_APP and selecting something else enables it.
I have a shuttle list that, depending on the selection of a previous form, may have between one and seven items. Is there any way for me to automatically move the entry to the right hand pane if there is only a single selection, just for the sake of long term optimization and user friendliness?
You can add a default Value to your shuttle item
SELECT YOUR_COLUMN_ID
FROM T0000_YOUR_TABLE
WHERE FILTER_COLUMN_ID = :P_FILTER_ITEM_PREV_FORM
GROUP BY YOUR_COLUMN_ID
HAVING COUNT(*) = 1
If there are more than 1 entries for your filter item the statement will return nothing, if there is exactly 1 entry the entry will be returned and set for your shuttle item
I like sim0n's answer. But here's another that uses JavaScript (you can choose which is best for your use case).
Create a Dynamic Action. Set Name to Page loaded and Event to Page Load.
Select the Action created by default. Set Action to Execute JavaScript Code, then enter the following code in Code.
var itemId = 'P1_ITEM_NAME';
var $opts = $('#' + itemId + ' select:eq(0) > option');
if ($opts.length === 1) {
$s(itemId, $opts.val());
}
Don't forget to change the name of the item to match the one on your page.
When the page loads, the JavaScript will check to see how many options are in the select element on the left. If there's just one, it will set the value of the item using the value to the value of the single option.
