How can I default a page item to the value of a column in the first row of an interactive report?

InoL,

I'm creating a wizard app. So, I can either save time using the page wizard to get the steps setup easily and in order or I can do it your way and use the page wizard to create each page in my wizard using the page wizard and then create the steps section on each page and link them manually.

At any rate. I tried to use the page wizard to create a master-detail/stacked page as you suggested and ran into a problem trying to select the master source. My view is not in the list for table/views. Only my tables are available.

If I try to add the view to a region manually the view is available, so it seems to be accessible to the app.

Since the master/detail wizard doesn't seem to work with views, I still need to know how to link 2 IR or IG manually.

My first page is a view only which is why I went with IR. The next step is an IG where the user can modify the records. There's some setup data creation going on after they view the selected records so the IG records are prepped. I thought about combining these steps, but this is a sensitive area of the project so I want to be extra careful.

Plus I may need to create entitlements for different users to view only and skip out of the wizard before the IG page in the future.

Yes, my views are in the same schema as the tables that show up.

I realize using a grid (IR or IG) in a wizard seems odd, but I've got a set of records that need to stay organized the same way. Plus, There are several similar updates that need to be made that are related to each other. It's hard to explain.

Imagine you were creating a spreadsheet (yes I know...Apex isn't a spreadsheet. I know this but I'm told to use Apex anyway.) You have a chart of accounts with 5 accounts where each account has a share % of the whole amount. The user needs to see all 5 accounts at the same time so they can see that the % overall is 100%. Plus, several other values for each account are the same so I don't want to force the user through a single step to complete the chart for each account.

I found using the page wizard to create the steps was faster than trying to do this in the pages separately. I'm being a bit of a control freak with this application forcing users to do things in order because I tried it as a free flowing application and ran into a lot of user related data errors. The validation seems to be much easier to manage using the wizard layout.

Nothing we do is "normal" for Apex. But someone said it "could" be done so here we are with a square peg and a round hole (again). I'm doing my best to use the built in functionality even if it may not be typical/traditional usage.

I saw the Master property in the IG but not in the IR. So I'm trying to control it manually. I guess I could change the IR's to IG's that aren't editable. I haven't had a lot of success with the IG though. I always seem to need something that isn't available yet. I know a lot was added in versions 20 & 21 but we're stuck on 19 until IE is officially dead.
