This feature provides a visual representation of region positions to help you better understand where your
content will be displayed and how it will interact with other regions on the page. This feature is also very useful for
understanding how a template may need to be modified in order to support an application.
Lists of Values
One of the fundamental benefits of writing an application on top of a database architecture is the ability to enforce
data quality. LOVs are an APEX component that can be mapped to different item types including Select Lists, Multiple
Select Lists, Checkboxes, and Radio Groups. These types of structures help ensure that data collected through
transactions is consistent. There are two types of LOVs in APEX:
•
Static
: A set list of options in APEX
•
Dynamic
: Based on SQL against the database
