I want to remove specific pages in my birt report.
the reason is that I have 20 charts and some of them, sometimes, have no data.
so when I make it invisible, the page is shown empty. this why I want to remove it.
I can pass a parameter from the java file to tell the report which page to remove. but how do I remove it?
is there a way to do it? a script that I can add to my report?
thanks a lot,
Yoni.
You have make the element invisible that reserves the space for the chart. Mostly it is in a grid-cell where you have entered a specific height. If this is the case you have to set the entire row of the grid to invisible.

I have margin and inside it is a frame that contains a few lines for signatures, but I want it to only be visible on the last page.
So I set it to print on last page, horizontal to variable; but I thought I'd need to add a format trigger on the frame inside the margin. What should I write in pl/sql to achieve this?
If you want a frame to only print on the last page, don't put it in the margin. Instead, put it below all other frames and (as you already have) set it to print only on the last page.
Whatever you put in Margin is always displayed on all pages. Simply move your signature frame to the main layout, below your main group frame. And set it to display on last page only. I assume your signature query is separate query that may or may not be related to other queries... You may keep it inside the main group frame making signature frame variable, for example. It all depends on your design and requirements.
I get it now, there is button in toolbar edit margin, and u can edit everything inside margin. so i put frame inside it and in properties change last page and it worked as i wanted to work. THanks on your replies.

I am working on a report a previous employee created. I want to change one of the groups but the window size is too small to see the full field name and I don't see any way to resize it or to see the entire field name. Many of the groups are different only by the right most portion of the field name for example Here are groups 1-4:
SUMMARY_AGED_ACCOUNTS_RECIEVABLE_1
SUMMARY_AGED_ACCOUNTS_RECIEVABLE_2
SUMMARY_AGED_ACCOUNTS_RECIEVABLE_3
SUMMARY_AGED_ACCOUNTS_RECIEVABLE_4
Since I can't see all the way to the right it is an annoying process of trial and error.
Secondly in design and previous views the section chooser area to the left is too small and truncates the field name in a similar manner. Is there anyway to resize these portions of the program? Is there another area of the program where I can choose groups and see the entire field? You can see what I mean in the screenshot below.
Got this basic issue..
I have two tab navigation bar in Oracle APEX 4.0. The parent tab and the standard tab.
The standard tab which is below parent tab starting from left, I would like to put a text or image made of text on the right side which describes the overall application.
The Text or Image of made of text will be "BASIC PROGRAM" in a Green color with big font size.
Can anybody guide me how to proceed..
I was thinking using substitution strings such as #tab_cells# may work, but not sure where to put and how to do it?
appreciate your help..
Tabs are long due an overhaul, the customisation you can do on them is extremely limited. Short of completely overhauling your menu system, i'd alter this one tab through javascript/jquery.
Please take care with selectors for tabs. I have no idea which theme you are using, i did this for theme 21 with 2 level tabs, selecting a 2nd level tab. Inspect your HTML and adapt this to your requirement.
$("ul#tabs li").each(function(){
if($(this).text().indexOf('Maatregelen')!=-1){
$(this).children('a.tab_link').css(
{"background":'url()', "background-color":"green", "text-shadow":"none"}
);
};
});
I wouldn't change the template per se. There is not much you can do there to the tab generation, since you can not use plsql code. Rather, you could put the tab label in an attribute on a higher level than the a-tag, to have an easier jquery selector. Or you can put the javascript code in to run on-load. Or have a dynamic action on page zero to run on-load, and this will affect every tab in each page.
I have a datagrid with many columns. This makes it pretty wide. Now we want to add more information to the table. Aside from removing or shortening existing columns what are some ways we might be able to add additional information without adding new columnes.
The data we want to add would be one of several values. For example:
Projected
Actual
Other
For other cases when the value was an off/on or true/false we would change the color of the row. In this case that doesn't seem to be a good option.
Another thing we considered is using an icon to indicate the information.
Any other ways this could be done?
A solution i've seen implemented with grid components is to have a column chooser - some sort of popup dialog that lists the columns and you can select which ones you would like to see in the grid. You should be able to invoke this popup by triggering it from the grid, e.g. it might appear as an option when the user right clicks and causes the context menu to appear.
Can you group related information into tabs?
an overflow area? ie a number of fields underneath the table that populate based on the selected row.
or just only show the minimum needed info and the have full details in a popup when doble clicked or something..
1) Popup on row hover
2) Drop open inline in the grid with extra info on row click
One technique I've used in the past was to create a "container" type of class that has its own labels and textboxes, and you can arrange them however you want, then insert this class into a single grid column. You still have to do some tricks on binding multiple controls that are not native "grid column" controls, but should help you along. Then, you can actually have each row a single container control in a single grid column...
You can't add completely new data to a grid without reserving a column to display it. The best solution I've seen is to provide only the essential information in the grid displaying all records, and then create a drilldown view that shows all of the data for one row. The drilldown can either be a new view in the same form, a popup for an additional window, or perhaps a mouseover popup.
I've worked on systems that use all sorts of shortcuts to display every last bit of information on a single page, and I found that it just made everything more confusing and harder to use. "Oh, that little icon there means that <insert something totally unrelated to the icon picture>."
I'm just in the process of changing the SalesInvoice Report. One thing I'm trying to do is show the label of some items not left of the item value but above it instead.
Seems easy enough: just change the LabelPosition (for example from CustInvoiceJour_InvoiceId) setting from "left" to "above" and voila: the label has vanished. It is just shown nowhere at all.
Strange. I would have expected the label to show up, well, above the content. Not to vanish.
Am I missing something (there is no label height to set), or is this functionality broken?
I'm not sure if this functionality is broken. But in generated design, these elements will not show the label if it's set to above:
Prolog
PageHeader
Header
Footer
Epilog
ProgrammableSection
If the item you're trying to change is in one of those, then the label position above will, from my experience, not work.
My tip is to create a new control of the text type and then use the same label that the extended data type for the field uses under the "text" property and then adjust the position so it is positioned above the field you're trying to set a label on.
From what I have noticed for a ProgrammableSection the column name labels are not shown only on the first page of the report. The labels are shown on the next pages.
