A simple option is to create two buttons: APPROVE and REJECT.
Create two processes (one for updating a status to APPROVE, another for REJECT) which will fire when a BUTTON is pressed. The process would do the smart part:
-- Fire when APPROVE button is pressed
update leave_transaction set
  status = 'APPROVE'                  -- another process would set it to REJECT
  where leave_id = :P5_LEAVE_ID;


Another option is to create radio buttons, checkbox, text item or any other option you find appropriate.

Maybe, once you make it work (with these two buttons), you might try to make it fancy (i.e. do the same using what I suggested next. It'll teach you how to create lists of values and stuff).

Hi Littlefoot,
Thank you for your response,
actually where to create the buttons with particular leave_application report?
for example when the report page is opened if it as 10 reports(for leave approval)
where to create the button? on report page or for all report(for leave approval),
can you please explain?
Thank you.

Right, the report! Didn't read carefully enough your initial post, sorry.

My suggestion was based on a FORM, not a report. However, it is easy to create a LINK on a report column which would pass LEAVE_ID (or anything else you need) to another (FORM) page, which would do what I described. I suppose that supervisors wouldn't like it much (as they would need to navigate forth and back for every leave requirement).

Therefore, perhaps you should switch from a report to a tabular form (updateable report). In there, fetch all columns you fetch now, plus additional APPROVE checkbox. Supervisor would check these checkboxes (for people whose leave requests are approved), and it would require a single SUBMIT button whose process would loop through all records in a tabular form, check whether the checkbox is checked and UPDATE a record in a table.

If you didn't do that yet, here's how the loop looks like (excerpt from one of my tabular forms):
  for i in 1 .. apex_application.g_f01.count loop

    if apex_application.g_f02(i) = 1 then       -- g_f02 is a tabular form checkbox
       select p.naziv
         into l_naziv
         from dg_slike_popis p
         where p.id = apex_application.g_f01(i);

       utl_file.putf(file_handler, l_naziv || '\n');
    end if;

  end loop;

For more information about tabular forms items, see the documentation.

Hi Littlefoot,
as you told earlier, I created 2 buttons APPROVE and REJECT,
If the report have 2 rows,If I click the APPROVE then its setting status as APPROVE for both,
If I click the REJECT then its setting status as REJECT for both, Sad
Is it possible ,
when I press the APPROVE or REJECT button it has to ask Leave_id,
so that we can enter the leave_id from the report and the status has to be set based on the button and leave_id given.
Thank you. Smile

Re-read what I said previously.

As far as I know (which is not much, unfortunately), REPORT is not the way to do that. TABULAR FORM is.

As of SYSDATE question: SYSDATE function returns both date and TIME, so you probably need to TRUNC(SYSDATE) in your WHERE clause.

As of the second question: code I posted is just an example. You need to adjust it to your situation. Hint: apex_application.g_f0x items reference only EDITABLE items in a tabular form (the ones you chose to be editable, and now have a mark on the Report Attributes page). As far as I know, this property can't be set after the region is created so - choose them wisely (or you might need to do everything once again).

This is my region source query:
select 
  id,
  id id_display,
  naziv,
  cb_delete
from dg_slike_popis
order by 1

CB_DELETE is NUMBER(1).
It is displayed as a "Simple checkbox".
Its List of values definition is "1,0" (put 1,0 into that field, without quotes) (1 is checked value, 0 is unchecked).

(For you, it might be CB_APPROVE instead. I'm deleting records, so I named the column CB_DELETE).

This is how my report attributes look like. Pay attention to "Edit" check mark.
/forum/fa/10140/0/

It means that
- apex_application.g_f01 = ID => will be LEAVE_ID for you
- apex_application.g_f02 = CB_DELETE => will be CB_APPROVE for you

Process loops through all records in a tabular form ("for i in 1 .. apex_application.g_f01.count") and does *something* (I'm selecting, you'll be UPDATE-ing) IF a checkbox is checked ("if apex_application.g_f02(i) = 1" - as we said, g_f02 = CB_DELETE).

You'd do something like this:
update your_table set
  status = case when apex_application.g_f02(i) = 1 then 'APPROVED'
                else 'REJECTED'
           end
  where leave_id = apex_application.g_f01(i);

I told you (see message #553890): as far as I know, you MUST set editable items when you are creating a tabular form. This ("edit") property can't be modified later. In other words, don't just blindly click <Next> in Wizard - read what it says.

Which items should be editable? The ones you plan to edit, PLUS the ones you plan to reference later (using apex_application.g_fxx). I was editing CB_DELETE, and I was referencing ID. It is up to you to decide that.

Hi Littlefoot,
I put the following code in process,
DECLARE
   v_rowno NUMBER;
BEGIN
  for i in 1 .. apex_application.g_f01.count 
loop
v_rowno := apex_application.g_f01(i);
 if apex_application.g_f02(i) = 1 then       
update leave_transaction set status='Approved' where
leave_id=v_rowno;
else
update leave_transaction set status='Rejected' where
leave_id=v_rowno;
end if;
end loop;
end;

If i checked the status checkbox its updating status=1 if not checked its set to 0.
instead of reject or approve.
Thank you.

I told you what I did. I told you how to set up list of values. I provided sample code.

You decided to change it and use your own options and code.

That's OK, as far as I'm concerned. But, why do you expect me (us) to do your job from A to Z? Why would I debug your code? When do you plan to do something by yourself?
