APEX 4.2 - Using LOV with Interactive Report

1
votes

now I am using ApEx 4.2 and I want to update my form from Classic Report to Interactive Report.
I have a LOV for translating IDs to human readable labels. But with Interactive Report, I can't configure my form using my LOV.

with Classic Report I am successful with:

Column attributes for item IDTAXON_DISPLAY
Column attributes: Display as Text(based on LOV, does not save state)
List of Values: Named LOV - Select named LOV
List of values definition:
select artname as DISPLAY_VALUE, idtaxon as RETURN_VALUE from fischart

with Interactive Report using a new page I tried:

Column attributes for item Idtxon
Column Definition
Display Type: Display as Text(based on LOV, escape special characters)
Column Filter Type Use Defined List of Values to Filter Exact Match
Named List of Values - Select named LOV
List of values definition (Enter a SQL query that returns one column):
select artname as DISPLAY_VALUE, idtaxon as RETURN_VALUE from fischart

But I got following error:

Named List of Values must be entered for columns with a "Display Type" of
"Based on LOV" or a Column Filter Type which uses a named list of values.

I can't see what is wrong. Any idea how to manage this? Thanks in advance.

If you create List of Values in Shared Components and then it should work. Details below.

  1. Go to Shared Components → List of Values → Create and create the following:

    • Create list of values: From Scratch
    • Name: Fischart
    • Type: Dynamic

    • Query:

      select artname as DISPLAY_VALUE, idtaxon as RETURN_VALUE from fischart;

  2. Go back to the interactive report and click on the idtaxon Column Attributes.

  3. Change the following properties:

    • Display Type: Display as Text (Based on LOV, escape special characters)
    • Column Filter Type: Use Named List of Values to Filter Exact Match
    • Named list of values: FISCHART
