IR vs IG

drossoMar 7 2020 — edited Mar 7 2020

Hi,

I'm developing a POC in order to state if APEX is the right tool to build a web application for one of our clients.

I started building the application using Interactive Reports, but I got suck once I found that there was no way to customize the Actions menu (what if my client wants an "Upload" menu item after the "Download" item and not outside of the menu ?)

Then I moved to Interactive Grids, I changed all my pages to use IGs, I customized the Actions menu adding an "Upload" item, but I got stuck once again when I found that there was no way to set filters inside the URL (as happens with IR): thus, no chart drill-down is possible.

I tried using the undocumented Javascript functions (addFilter and deleteFilter) but if I add 2 filters the first one is added twice : this behavior has been reported in another thread but no answer was given (is it a bug ? is it just an incorrect usage of the functions ?)

So.. or I'm missing something, or IG, which I thought was an extension of IR, actually has no full coverage of the same functionalities of IR.

Please help me understand which is the right way to go.

Thank you
