nicolas pilot Public · Oct 29 2021

Idea Summary
The idea is to provide tools for developers to easily add a context menu on some component.

  • IR/Classic Report row
  • Button
  • Apex Item
  • Any HTML Element…

Use Case
Very useful to add some actions on rows etc…

This request is likely a duplicate of FR-774.

    Emphasis on easy because it is currently possible but not easy. 
    A context menu depends on the context which could be a cell or a row or something else. The video above shows cell context. Most APEX regions don't have an explicit context; Exceptions include IG and Tree.
    This is related to or depends on a few other ideas:

    • https://apex.oracle.com/ideas/FR-2133 Declarative way to add dropdown menu button to report & assign DA or Process to menu items

    Not every user expects there to be a context menu so also having a button that opens the same menu is desired for accessibility and usability.

    • https://apex.oracle.com/ideas/FR-2126 Current Row Selection on Classic & Interactive Report

    This provides the context for the menu.

    I think this would be a very useful feature to have, but how would it be implemented on a mobile or touch device?

    On mobile we can Tap-and-hold (long press) to open the menu

    Duplicate of unpublished FR774, from the old ideas application, 7 years ago. Glad it's now in review.
