Declarative way to add dropdown menu button to report & assign DA or Process to menu items

mike.mckenna Public · Oct 30 2021

This is my first crack at something like this as I am fairly new to APEX. Thanks for your consideration.

Idea Summary
Add the ability to add a dropdown menu button (menu popup) to a classic report row declaratively. Also, allow the ability to assign each menu item either a process or dynamic action when clicked or selected.

Use Case
I have an example or use case in this stackoverflow question that I asked not too long ago. 

Preferred Solution (Optional)
Could implement using a virtual column. The virtual column would have two new ‘types’ under Identification section: 1) button 2) menu button. There could also be a new ‘Behavior’ section added for a virtual column with type button or menu button. Here you can specify / map the process or dynamic action to the button or menu items. As well as, a Server-side condition and Security sections for each menu item.

This has been delivered in Oracle APEX 23.1!

    The new Cards region has something similar called Actions, they can be defined as buttons or simply enable areas to be clickable. Would be cool if this was extended to allow menu buttons and also implemented for Interactive Grids/Reports and Classic Reports.

    Agree, Actions added to Classic & Interactive Reports would be ideal and a helpful addition to APEX going forward.

    @mike.mckenna  This is now possible with the new Content Row template directive in APEX 23.1

  • jayson hanes Admin OP 2.1 years ago

    Per the 23.1 release, we do now support Content Row with Universal Theme, as @martin.mirenic points out - it's not 100% aligned with this idea and the identified duplicates, but it's really close, and APEX will continue to evolve this functionality with newer releases to come!

    I agree that the action is added to Interactive Reports but not in Classic. I use Apex 24.2 and I don't found this feature in classic Report. Can you confirm to me if this feature will be apply in the newer releases ?
