Support for Environment Banner in Runtime as well as Development

Idea Summary
The APEX Instance setting for Environment banner is most welcome so you can see if you are logged onto APEX Builder on Development, Integration, Test etc.

I would love for the same feature to be available in front end, run time applications so end users can visually see which environment they are on. Currently, I have several theme styles defined and these are set on logon to show the correct style. Support for runtime banners would reduce the overhead of supporting multiple theme styles used to colour code the environment you are on.

The existing Global Notification function is ok, but pretty basic and does not render on the left hand side, from top to bottom.

Use Case
I want an environment banner that colour codes each of my environments from DEV to PROD that I can turn on an off programatically that renders in run time applications so that end users can visually see which environment they are on, much like how the APEX Builder environment banner works.

Preferred Solution (Optional)
Within the APEX Builder for an application, allow me to define an environment banner with a label and colour (and support substitution strings here) as position. It should also allow me to turn this on and off programmatically i.e. apex_util.enable_banner so I can turn this on for Development but disable for Production.

This request is likely a duplicate of FR-2682.

    This sounds like a useful feature.

    I’d like to see this implemented.

    So would I, but Oracle do not: FR-2682

    Great idea and feature. I hope to see this discussed and pushed through for development.

    @fac586 Let's hope they have a rethink :)

  • aaron OP 1.2 years ago

    I think this can be done by adding a static region to the global page 0.

    Unfortunately, this same idea was also rejected in FR-3497.
