Looking for advice on upgrading your APEX tabular forms to editable interactive grids? This is your stop. This session examines the functionality, structure and JavaScript APIs of Interactive Grids with a heavy focus on editable features and essential upgrade tactics. The presentation will:
- Compare editable interactive grid features with equivalent (and/or lacking) features in legacy and custom tabular forms.
- Review strategies for typical upgrade scenarios.
- Demonstrate how to implement common requirements—checklists, cascading select lists, interactions between columns, navigation between fields, dynamic actions—to see what can be achieved declaratively and where customizations via dynamic actions and/or the Interactive Grid APIs are required.
- Recommend strategy for and demonstrate how to achieve simple, complex and multi-row validations, client and server-side.
- Explain and show JavaScript methods to access/manipulate data and adjust the grid menus to meet typical tabular form (now Editable Grid) business requirements.
This session is essential for those who have existing tabular forms, plain or highly customized (with PL/SQL and/or JavaScript), and need advice on if, when, and how to replicate that tabular form functionality in an editable interactive grid.
