Display Checkmarks for Yes values in APEX report.

Working with Apex report, I have a table with an "active" flag column that generally stores values in either Y or N.In an Apex report, its better if it displays as green checkmark for Y & X for N, instead of displaying the literal letter. So here it is I am gonna show you how you can implement all this. I wrote few couple of custom classes utilizing the Font Awesome icon library.

I implement these two CSS classes into my global CSS file:

.check-Y:before {

 content: "\f00c";

 color: green;

}

.check-N:before {

 content: "\f00d";

 color: red;

}

The values for the content attributes can be gotten from the Font Awesome cheatsheet (ignore the &#X characters).

 You can see in image shown below. I added the following HTML expression in my APEX report ACTIVE coloumn:

When the report executes, the HTML expression will return either check-Y or check-N, thus referencing the classes with the green check mark or the red X.

Building an Apex 5 Search Screen

APEX - explore the possibilities...

Building an Apex 5 Search Screen 

Search screens have always been a main feature of APEX applications, & there are many ways they can be implemented. Designing an interactive report gives the user a large amount of search & filter options, but can be slow & all the features many not be required. If you create a classic report page, you can mention that you would like a search bar. This is a much execution which obtains a text field page item and then uses the value entered into it in LIKE clause in the query. Second option is to make a search bar from start. Close to the one generated by the classic report wizard, but now you have full control over which columns are already searched & can also easily add any other filters you like.

Few days back I was asked to create Google Search by a user.  This is a very common request for me & mostly comes from users being used to the fast, predictive searching available on Search Engine Google.com. It could be tough to explain to the users that Google took many years & huge amount of money to develop their search tools and this is not possible for a small organization.

Predictive search bars

The main feature to duplicate is the predictive issue in the search bar and I didn’t have to do much work to get this working. By using a Text field with autocomplete item and supplying the database column you are searching. The field will predict what you are searching for based on what you have already typed.

As you type, the results are reduced on what you have entered.

Refresh Results

Another great feature we might want to duplicate from Google search is the automatically updating results set. Using dynamic actions we can make something similar in APEX.

A dynamic action with an event ‘Key Release’ should be attached to your autocompleting text field. This will fire every time a character is typed into the field. Just add a refresh true action that refreshes a classic report region containing the results. You may also need to upper the text entered so that the search brings back all the expected results. 

Further typing into the search field cut the number of results displayed. Now there is no need to show ‘search’ as now that the report refreshes automatically.

We can take this significantly further and add more filters to our search page which also cause the report to refresh when changed, giving the user a way to search data that feels a bit more modern than a regular search bar.
