The #1 Website for Oracle PL/SQL, OA Framework and HTML
The flexibleLayout region can be used to define a customizable layout, as flexibleLayout regions can be nested to form a customizable layout and can be positioned anywhere in the page.
A page can have a number of ‘top-level’ flexibleLayouts; they do not have to be nested.

In oracle application framework page the OAF DefaultStack region is used to hold buttons or images in a horizontal line.
Suppose you have a table or advancedTable in oracle application framework page and you want to define table actions to the table region, as soon as you create table action by default flowlayout gets created as a child of tableActions.
Region style can be changed to rowLayout or can have the same flowLayout attached to it.
In case you want table actions to be performed only by using buttons then it’s better to use flowLayout instead of rowLayout.
If table action involves other item style i.e. OAMessageChoiceBean or OAMessageTextBean then use rowLayout, because if you use flowLayout is used then Oracle BLAF (Browser Look and Feel) of UI will get hampered, i.e. alignment won’t be proper.
Whenever you create pageStatus region in pageLayout region flowLayout will also be get created automatically in it as a child.
In flowLayout region there can be any region or item attached to it as child of it.

How to create flowLayout Region in OAF page?
Creating a flowLayout region on an Oracle Apps Framework page is simple. Just follow the steps given below.
1. Create a region on an OAF page using JDeveloper
2. Set the style property to flowLayout.
3. Set the properties of the newly created flowLayout region according to the requirement and the standards of Oracle Apps Framework.
4. Create items or regions of any style as children in this region.
In oracle application framework page the OAF Footer region is used to hold links which are for top-level applications, buttons (global), copyright information, privacy information (optional) and About this page link (optional) components in it.
It is a child of pageLayout region.
It is shown at the end of the OA Framework page in the BLAF UI.
If we want to attach a “Return to?” link i.e. a back navigation it will also get added in the footer region.

In oracle application framework page the OAF Gantt region is used to hold create Gantt charts. It retrieves the data from the BC4J objects.
It is mostly used for the project planning and scheduling information.
It is like a matrix i.e. it is having a vertical axis and a horizontal axis.
Suppose you want to use Gantt for project planning then Project will be at the vertical axis and the time period will be placed in an horizontal axis.
It inherits the properties of the HGrid region by extending it, only the width property of HGrid we cannot change thru the Gantt region.

In oracle application framework page, through OAF GraphTable region you can draw graphs.
GraphTable may not use all the columns present in the GraphTable to plot the graph.
If there are multiple graphs depending on one GraphTable then each graph may use different set of columns to plot in the OAF page.
GraphTable is based on the tableLayout region and inherits all their property.
We need to set a property of GraphTable named as Graph Render Style property as either graph or both.
When we set the value as graph that time we can view one or more graph elements.
And when we set the property as both then we can view both the table data and the corresponding graph below the table, and if you have multiple graphs then below the table there will be poplist item in the OAF page from which we need to choose the graph which we want to display.
