Application Express 5.1.4.00.08
We have some pages in an app for which we'd like the end user to specify some query parameters before the report loads.
Imagine a drop down which provides a single input to the query. The end user does not want to wait for whichever item just happens to be first in the drop down to finish loading its associated report only to then pick the item for which they actually want the report data.
Currently, on page page in which a report is present, when the page loads, the report query is executed unconditionally. Is there ANY way to prevent this such that the report does not load automatically when the page loads? Rather, we'd want it to wait until the end user sets up the query criteria and then clicks the "Go" button for the report to load.
This is very similar to the Use Case for setting a report filter. The user sets criteria and then click go. The returned result set is then modified according to the user's selections. The only difference here is that we don't want to wait for the initial result set return before setting these selections.
Is this at all possible?
Thanks,
