You Asked

Hi,

May I know when the classic reports can have the same (or at least similar) pagination as in the interactive grid? The pagination in interactive grid looks so good.

Thank you.

Hi - thank you for your question regarding Classic Reports. There are no plans to support the same type of pagination with Classic Reports that is provided by Interactive Grids. Interactive Grids are the more modern reporting engine, and you should use Interactive Grids instead of Classic Reports if this type of pagination, or frozen headers, frozen columns, etc are needed.

Regards,
Marc

Faceted search?

The answer states "you should use Interactive Grids instead of Classic Reports..."

Then you (meaning APEX) should add faceted search to Interactive Grids.

Interactive Grids and faceted search are two killer features of APEX that I love to death, and I am not alone. It is a huge pain to have to choose between them.

Best regards,

This will be passed back to the APEX team for consideration

faceted search is great - its a real shame if it cannot be used with pagination!

Its odd that pagination used to be possible with the classic report!

Oops my misunderstanding. pagination is still possible in faceted search its just the same old pagination.
Where the attribute is set has moved...

Now at the top of the right pane there is a link to attributes where its set. Long ago attributes was accessed on the left most pane

It's a shame lazy loading etc isn't available given classic reports have been given a new lease of life by faceted reports using them....but its not a show stopped for me.
