Enhancing UX: Add Rows at the Last Line of APEX Grids
Overview Enhancing the user experience by allowing users to insert rows at the end of an Oracle APEX Interactive Grid improves usability and efficiency by providing a clear and intuitive method for data entry. This involves adding an easily accessible “Add Row” button, automatically scrolling to the new row, pre-filling default values, and implementing real-time validation to ensure data integrity. By leveraging JavaScript, APEX APIs, and dynamic actions, the grid becomes more interactive and user-friendly, ultimately leading to a more streamlined and effective data management process. Technologies and Tools Used The following technology has been used to achieve the expected output. JavaScript PL/SQL Oracle Apex Use Case A common use case for allowing users to insert rows at the end of an Oracle APEX Interactive Grid is in a project management application where team members need to add new tasks to a project. Each task might include details such as the task name, assignee, due date, and priority. By enabling users to insert rows at the end of the grid, they can quickly add new tasks in a logical order without disrupting the existing data.

This document explains how to we can add new row at end of the existing rows. Architecture Following steps explains in detail, Step 1: Create the interactive grid report and enable the edit option in the attribute. Step 2: Please give static ID to the interactive grid region. Step 3: Create below functions in Function and Global variable Declaration in the page property. function remove_default_addrow_btn(p_toolbarData,p_toolbar_length) { var i, j, container, control, done = false; for (i = 0; i < p_toolbar_length; i++) { container = p_toolbarData[i]; for (j = 0; j < container.controls.length; j++) { control = container.controls[j]; if (control.action === “selection-add-row”) { container.controls.splice(j, 1); done = true; break;…
