I have a report and i need to show the network alias of the user who printed the report and the PrimaryPhone of the connected person . How can i do that in D365 because display methods doesn't work. There is any expression who gave me the networkAlias based on UserId?
is an out of the box report created with a wizard or a custom Fetch Xml Report? if is the first case you don't have many options, if it's a fetch XML report you should be able to print the current user, and the phone number within the user. From D365 CE you don't have options to query AD in any way, you can write some custom code to move that data into CRM, and then read the data from the report. For anything more complicated it might be worth to look into power BI.

The Map polygon Action can launch another Report.
Is there a way to check that a particular report actually exists before blindly trying to launch it?
This would allow re-direction to an 'Oops!' dummy report instead of it erroring.
You can query the ReportServer database directly (It is called ReportServer by default, though this can be different).
All of your SSRS items - from reports to subscriptions - are held in here somewhere. If you want to check for a report, you can search the Catalog table on both Path and Name.
If you can build a dataset of the reports you want to link to, you can then replace the ones that have no match in Catalog with a link to your Oops! report.
I was going to ask this on the Splunk forums, but for some reason I haven't got a validation email after a few hours and multiple attempts, so I thought I would try here.
I create a search from a .csv data source and save a report from this search. I then selected the fields I want. Screenshot:
This works great. Then I send this report over to a dashboard so I can make some nice graphs and all the fields are gone and I have no option to map the fields.
(redacted some data)
As you can see there's no option to use the fields I selected in the report even though this is an import of that report. I tried manually mapping a field, and even that only shows up in the Reports view and not in any dashboards/panels. Is there something I'm missing here?
I suggest that you go to the report and choose the "Add to dashboard" option. Keep both the report and the dashboard in the same app. "Permanent" fields are defined within the context of an app. "Temporary" fields (created by the rex command, for example) exist only within the context of a report.
Using Business Intelligence Development Studio, I am creating a report for SSRS that requires the user to add a few notes before being printed. The notes do not need to be sent back to the SQL Server that the report is being generated from, they just need to be included when the report is printed or exported. I have some other solutions including:
Exporting to Word for edit, then the user can manually publish to pdf & send
Including parameters for the note fields which involves pulling the report, then adding in the notes and lastly re-pulling the report again to include the data
But I really don't want to add the extra steps to the user's process unless necessary. Has anyone tried this before? I've been tinkering and searching and have had no luck.
Thanks in advance.
Input to an SSRS report comes from data sources and the parameters. Some server settings are applied, but all the per-report stuff is from either of those two places.
Based on the OP comment, I would add a text parameter that allows blank values. You can set a default value of ="" so that the report will run on first access. Then any text the users adds can be inserted into the report simply by referring to the parameter's value.(=Parameters!MyParam1.Value)
user is pulling the report first to analyze the data. So they would pull it once, then add the notes, and then pull the report again with the parameters added.
I have a report in SSRS that I have in Dynamics CRM 2011 and when the report is run, in the url it passes the id like http://url&id=123-123-123-123. I am trying to make my report in ssrs to grab the id from the query string and use that in the parameters to determine which data to show. Is this possible and if so how would one go about doing it.
Thanks!
CRM actually sends a parameter which can be used to select the filtered view of data that the report was run on. See the report writers guide, and in particular, Using Filters in a Report.
In the simplest case, you would write your main data set to select like so: SELECT <column1>, <column2>, <columnN> FROM FilteredAccount AS CRMAF_FilteredAccount
If that doesn't answer answer your question... You could write an aspx page which embeds the report viewer control. From there you would read the query string, load the report, and then set some parameters based on the query string values. You'd have to have custom ribbon options to launch your custom page.
I had the same problem.
Here is the resolution which worked for me:
I need my reports to have dynamic connections strings. We have multiple database servers and catalogs and only want to maintain a single Report file. The only solution I could find that would let me do this programmatically was "Expression-based Connection Strings". Basically I programmatically pass in parameter values to the report for the ServerName and InitialCatalog.
This works for simple reports. Although not ideal as modifying the report requires changing the connection to a hardcoded connection string and then switch back to the expression-based one when I want to save and publish.
HOWEVER, this does not work for reports that have data-driven parameters. For example I have a report that filters data based on a "City" parameter that the user selects when they first open the report. The City parameter is feed data from a query. It seems that I can't just set the connection parameters and let reporting services query for the City parameter.
I'm open to ideas here other than "Expression-based connection strings".
Thanks.
I had the same problem. The solution was surprisingly simple - just move your "ServerName" and "InitialCatalog" to the top of parameter list.
A possible option is to create a deployment script(which uses rs.exe) and deploy multiple versions of the report. In the deployment script you can update the datasource of the report. Your source control would still only have one report and each time you released it you run the script to update the multiple copies you have in production.
