Introduction: –
In Oracle APEX, the Interactive Grid (IG) is a powerful component that allows users to interact with and manage data dynamically. One common requirement when working with Interactive Grids is to capture and set the value of a selected row into a page item for further processing or display.Using the default Grid View Options configuration, developers can efficiently control grid behavior and capture selected row values. This approach not only simplifies the process but also enhances the user experience by seamlessly integrating grid data with page items.
The following technologies has been used to achieve the same.
- Oracle APEX
- Java script
Why we need to do: –
Data Synchronization: Capturing selected values allows we to synchronize data between the Interactive Grid and other page components.
Dynamic Actions: Selected grid values can trigger dynamic actions, such as filtering other regions, updating charts or populating forms based on the selected data.
User-Friendly Interaction: Displaying the selected value in a page item provides a visual cue to the user, making the application more interactive and user-friendly.
Ease of Processing: Once the value is in a page item, we can use it directly in validations, computations, or as input for PL/SQL processes.
Flexible Data Handling: Storing the selected value in a page item allows for advanced handling, such as passing the value to another page, saving it to a database, or using it as a parameter in a report or query.
How do we solve:-
Step 1: Create an Interactive Grid (IG) in Editable mode.
Step 2: Define a Primary Key for the Interactive Grid to uniquely identify rows.
Step 3:Create a Page Item to store the selected row’s primary key value.
Step 4: Go to the Interactive Grid’s Attributes section and paste the following code into the Initialization JavaScript Function:
Step 5: Save the changes and run the application
Conclusion:-
Using the default Grid View Options configuration, the solution ensures that any selection changes in the grid are automatically reflected in the page item, enabling further actions like validations, computations, or passing data across pages.This method is highly flexible, easy to implement, and integral to building dynamic and user-friendly applications in Oracle APEX.
