Managing Interactive Report Region Attributes

Each application page contains one or more regions. A region is an area on a page that serves as a container for content. Developers edit region attributes to alter the SQL source, change the region layout and appearance, define a region displays selector, and create region conditions.

Tip:

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) is used throughout interactive reports. Because Ajax is asynchronous, the value evaluated for conditional display must be in the session. To display an interactive report conditionally based on specified value, use a page item instead of using a :REQUEST value. Using :REQUEST in a conditional display causes the interactive report function incorrectly.
