Database Reference
In-Depth Information
To use the search field, type a string or phrase into it, and click the Go button. The
interactive report lists only results that match values you entered in the search field.
To use the Finder drop-down, click the arrow at the bottom-right of the magnifying
glass icon to the left of the Search Bar. This action opens a menu of the report column
names. Selecting a column name causes the search to be on the selected column only.
To use the Report select list, select one of the Report List options to navigate to the
selected report. To use the rows-per-page selector, select the desired number of rows
per page to display from the select list.
To use the Actions menu, click it to expand the menu of interactive reports actions,
and then select the desired action.
Restricting Functionality by Report
As the developer, you have control over what Actions menu options are available to the
end user. You can also control which of the preceding components are included on the
Search Bar. The Include Search Bar options, shown in
Figure 7-16
,
allow you to in-
clude the Search Bar or not and to elect which elements of the Search Bar are visible to
the user. This controls end-user functionality at the report level.
Figure 7-16.
Specifying Search Bar options
The Include in Actions Menu check boxes, shown in
Figure 7-17
, allow you to spe-
cify which Actions menu options are available to the user. Of these, the Save Report,
Save Public Report, and Subscription options are only available to authenticated pages.
This is because APEX needs to know information about the authenticated user to be
able to save reports and send subscriptions.
