Hi guys , we would like to have regular Community Calls, let's say one per quarter? It should be an open discussion about everything APEX or apex.world related. Everybody can participate in the discussions. First one next week 22nd, 12-1pm ET. *Things we can talk about could be:* • What do you think of 24.2 • What do you like / dislike in APEX or apex.world • What would you like to see in the future • Are you happy with the general direction of APEX • Ideas for re-activating the community *Things we won't talk about are:* • How do I do this or that in APEX? • I encounter a bug, etc. you get the idea :wink: (You can ask these questions in our apex.world Slack Channel or on the Forum or the apex.world AI Assistant) *Nothing is recorded, No AI Companion, Everything is private, What happens in Zoom, stays in Zoom* :wink: • Means if somebody from the APEX team is joining, no Safe Harbour needed, they are private :wink: • To quote Joel in similar talks: "We are all friends here, let us know what you really think". *The whole point is to participate in discussions* (but of course you are also free to just listen) • We would promote you from attendee to panelist, then we ask you to turn in your video to participate • Zoom would quickly restart when you get promoted or demoted. It's supposed to do that :smirk: We schedule it for an hour, but we stay as long as there is a lively discussion going on. Feel free to share this invitation with others not on this platform. I think it's time we bring the community back together. I'm looking forward if you want to support this and participate :v: Find attached the invitation as .ics file and Google Calendar (.html)

Does anyone know how to connect to the upcoming office hour session, ‘What’s New in APEX 24.2 – Part 1’? I cannot find the link to zoom.

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!

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 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?
