Hello, I would like to understand the best practices for customizing interactive and classic reports in Oracle APEX to meet specific project requirements. For instance, I need to modify export functionality, or custom filtering options. Could you please clarify if there are any limitations or recommended approaches to implementing such customizations? Additionally, are there particular guidelines to ensure compatibility with future updates of APEX?

*Hi APEX fans,* I'm planning to split my app into multiple mini-apps for various reasons, guided in part by recommendations from the _apex-lifecycle-management_ document. I have a question about implementing a *Shared Navigation Menu*: What are the pros and cons of using a *static published list* versus a *dynamic published list* (based on table(s))? Looking forward to your insights!

In Apex 24.1.6 Ive got some questions about GANTT charts. 1. Im am always wanting the chart to display data between 7am and 7pm for today. This is easy enough in the where clause. However if no data is found for the chart, it shows the horizontal time axis of "now" to "now plus 24hrs". *** How can I configure this to default to "7am today" and "7pm today" in all cases, whether data is found or not? 2. What's the difference between the setting under "Series" for Timeline and the Viewport ? (tbh, Viewport setting doesnt really seem to do anything for me) 3. If I choose a "Start Date Source" of Item, what format should the "Start Date Item" be? ie if I am choosing a "Hidden" field, how do I ensure that I am putting a correctly formatted "date time" into this field? ie what format to use? 4. Is there any good documentation about all the "options" available to be set in "Initialization JavaScript Function" in Region Attributes for GANTT Charts?

Hello, I am struggling to find a proper formatting for the numbers. In my app, numbers can be very big (45) or very small (0.0345). I need to display numbers with the thousand separator and not mess around with the decimals. The numbers should display like this: 45 should display 45 0.0345 should display 0.0345 1234567.54 should display 1,234,567.54 So far the only options I found when I want to show the thousand separator is to SPECIFY the number of decimals. I want the decimals to be unaffected by the thousand separator. Is there something available. Thank you for your help! Happy New Year! All!

Hi everyone, I am currently replacing “confirmDelete” with “apex.confirm”. Is there a way to replace all of them at once?

Happy New Year everyone!! In Oracle Apex I have an Interactive Grid, which is created via a dynamic query. For a kind of matrix table, virtual columns are generated for the next 10 years. Last year it went from 2024 to 2034. Today the application returned an error that 2024 is an invalid ID. To fix the error, I had to reinitiate the dynamic query in the Page Designer. The columns were updated to 2025-2035. To get the years, I use in the code: “extract(year from sysdate)” My question would be whether there is a way to avoid such an error after a year change or to automate the re-initiation of the virtual columns?

Question.. I have a page with a parent grid (projects) and a child grid (project details) when I have a project row selected I am clicking a button to add a row to the project details grid. However when I close the modal for entering the project detail info, the row I was on in the project grid is deselected. I am capturing the id of the row in a page item, but need a way to reselect the row after closing the modal. Anyone have an idea on this?

I was thinking with the downtime of apex.oracle.com this weekend we would awake to 24.2?? :thinking_face:

Was wondering if it's worth adding another channel. Have some questions on the "AI Assistant", and feel with as big as that topic is, might be a separate channel. Anyways, my company is going to start Microsoft Copilot for Business, since MS already has all our data anyways. From what I have read, APEX 24.1 currently only supports OpenAI, and OCI Gen AI Service. Any plans for when other services will be supported? Or is there ability to add our own service somehow?

HOW would we know what code is behind that? the Oracle portion is just a wrapper to java code in the database, right?

Hello all, Where can I see the full code of the yellow highlighted Java procedure? It's meant to get file from sftp server and push into external table in oracle. I would like to see where is the code that's doing that. Any help?

Hello APEX Family, I know much has been written and said about this topic, but so far I haven't had the need to address it, and I would like to know if there is any option available from APEX itself or from any other approach: I need to be able to copy a private IR report from the owning user to another user. Alternatively, the option to "share" a private report from one user with selected other users would also be valid. *Ideally, a user would create a private report and share it with others of their choice in "read-only" mode.* As always, I appreciate your feedback and collaboration. Best regards, and thank you!

Hello team, I'm try to update multiple rows using interactive grid custom process.

I work on an app that I have to deploy to about 12 customers local environments, all difference workspace ids, etc. Once I deploy the app I drop in their themeroller json, logo file, etc Authentication is done from a component group I have in a different app BUT my biggest problem is deploying updates. I redeploy the app, and then have to remake the 3 items above (themeroller json, logo, authentication copy from the 'sso-tester' app I always do locally Is there an easier way to make localizations on authentication and themeroller. Logo seems like I could make it a workspace logo file and always have it the same name or something.

Hi, What are the tables and views associated with working copies feature of Oracle APEX?

Hi everyone! I have a question regarding to displaying running balance in accounting application using views table in oracle apex. is it possible that the application will slowdown in processing view tables?

Hello all, I have a requirement not to delete a row in a table for a specific value of a column (Call_ID), if the table contains only that single row for that value. But if we are inserting a new row (Same Call_ID), then we have to delete the old row, even if there is only that row. It seems a bit confusing or contradictory. In short the Call_ID is unique but once inserted, should no longer be deleted until further notice. Can only be updated, or replaced entirely... We can add a column to deactivate it if needed. I keep running into "_Mutating Table Error_" when I am trying to run a count on the table in a trigger before deleting. What's the way to handle this requirement in a trigger?

Hi guys! How are you doing today? :) Let me try to find out if someone else is facing this scenario... I have a region type URL. This region presents a form that belongs to other apps in the APEX solution created. For most of the cases, these forms are static, but I have one where the items are shown or hiddden based on selection of specific values. When using this region using prior versions of MS Edge / Chrome / Firefox, it works. However, on latest version of any browser the region doesn’t display correctly. I’m attaching a couple of screenshots to show the issue: a couple of them belong to Chrome, latest version of the browser, and a couple of them belong to Firefox v127 Any hints on a possible work around? Thanks in advance!!

Hi, I have a requirement to track which user has downloaded an interactive report. A quick search led me to this blog from 2018, is this still the best way to do it? https://spendolini.blogspot.com/2018/04/logging-apex-report-downloads.html

does apex restricts the developer with number of opened sessions or taps ? if yes , is there a way to increase this number ( number of opened tabs for the oracle apex developers )

All my google searches yield links that are 15+ years old and are stale/dead. Looking to see if anyone has ever created a serviceable wiki with APEX. I don’t have an immediate need but am curious.

Is it possible to hide the download button on reports for some users based on roles, or alternatively password protect the download button? The requirement is to have view only and view and download roles for certain reports.

Sounds like a dynamic action with a confirmation action, if it is confirmed, next action is fired, if not its completed..
