5.9.3.1 Mobile Friendly Forms
Oracle APEX includes three mobile friendly reports and forms: List View, Column Toggle, and Reflow Report.
Although the Universal Theme is optimized to work well on mobile devices, not all components are mobile friendly. For example, interactive reports and interactive grids do not work well in mobile environments.
The following mobile friendly reports are optimized for mobile environments:
-
List View - A List view report features a responsive design to display data and provide easy navigation on Smartphones. A list view report contains the formatted result of a SQL query based on the data source (local or external) you specify and the table or SQL query you provide. Developers edit the report Attributes to determine the database columns that display, including the column used for List view entry.
-
Column Toggle Report - A column toggle report contains the formatted result of a SQL query based on the data source (local or external) you specify and the table or SQL query you provide. A column toggle report includes a Columns button which enables end users to select which columns they want to view.
-
Reflow Report - A reflow report contains the formatted result of a SQL query based on the data source (local or external) you specify and the table or SQL query you provide. When there is not enough space available to display the report horizontally, the report responds by collapsing the table columns into a vertical value pairs layout where each column displays on a separate row.

5.9.3.3 Creating a Column Toggle Report
Create a column toggle report in Page Designer.
A column toggle report contains the formatted result of a SQL query based on the data source (local or external) you specify and the table or SQL query you provide. A column toggle report includes a Columns button which enables end users to select which columns they want to view.
By default, column toggle reports are created with all columns set to the same priority. However, the developer can edit the report column attributes and rank columns by importance. Columns with a lesser priority (larger number) are hidden at narrower screen widths. The report includes a Columns button which enables end users to select which columns they want to view.
