IG Hack - #1, Add a custom action to the Actions Menu in Interactive Grid in Oracle APEX

-


Interactive Grid is the power house of Oracle APEX. It provides us with several out of the box features.

This blog explains how to add a custom action to the Actions Menu.

1) Create an Interactive Grid. 

2) Provide a Static ID to the Interactive Grid. (In this example it is emp).

3) Paste the below javaScript code in the Execute When Page Loads section.
     
$("#emp_ig_toolbar_actions_button_menu").menu("option").items.push({
            type: "action",
            id: "upload",
            hide: false,
            label: 'Show Alert',
            icon: 'fa fa-eye',
            action: function() {
                            alert('Alert Triggered Successfully');
            }       
});
     
    In the above code, emp must be replaced with the Static ID that you have provided.

    The values of id, label, icon can be replaced with any other text/icon, based on the requirement.

    As a result of the above code, an Alert pops up on click of the newly added action.  

    Code to show the alert can be replaced with any other javaScript code/function call, based on the requirement.

    Example: apex.event.trigger API can be used to call a custom Dynamic Action.
