In SSRS, we have parameters and also DataSets in Report Data. I want to know whether or which parameters are hidden or not ( hide if it is any database key field ).
There are a few ways to see parameter settings in SSRS.
You can view them on the SSRS site by clicking on the report
drop down and going to manage then parameters. This has a limited amount of information about the parameters but will show if they are hidden or not.
If you want more information on the parameters open the report in
visual studio. Expand parameters in the report data pane. You should
see a list of your parameters. Just right click on one and click
parameter properties. This will give you everything configured for
that parameter.

I'm looking for a way to prevent the rendering of a SSRS report, while accessing it through URL access method.
I have report A, through while I drillthrough to another report (Report B) using URL access method, using a set of parameters.
Now I'm looking to prevent the rendering of report B (while is the default behavior it seems) i.e. as soon as user clicks on relevant field on report A, report B opens up with relevant parameters selected as passed through URL access but without the report being rendered, so as to give end user more flexibility if he/she wants to change the parameters of report B in some way.
I have removed the below code from URL access, however this is the default behavior of the report, so the report renders anyway.
&rs:command=render
Also, tried something like below. Didn't work.
&rs:command=norender
Would appreciate any pointers here, to get this done.
Regards.
I have an internal SSRS report that can be run against data for different clients. The report has just one parameter "Client" which is a drop-down menu populated by a DataSet which populates from essentially "select distinct Client from ClientStuff" which returns a short list of clients.
The user chooses a Client from the drop-down and hits View Report, report populates with data. Fine. But then, when user chooses a different client, the report contents remain up and showing until "View Report" button is hit.
So here is the question: How do we force report contents to clear out when a new value is chosen for the parameter? Too often, user selects a new client but forgets to hit View Report, thus looking at one client name but seeing data as another. I want a blank screen showing as soon as the user picks a new value for the parameter.
I've searched and searched on this problem, I've set parameter properties to "Always Refresh", I've deleted and re-deployed reports... nothing seems to make it happen.
The parameter properties options to "Always refresh", etc. have to do with cached data, not whether the report will refresh once a new value is selected (which I assumed was the case, too). Unfortunately, according to a few sources I've found (Such as this) indicate that refreshing the full report when changing a parameter value is not possible without user input (i.e. pressing the Apply button/the Enter key).
What I generally do is find somewhere on the report to display the parameter value that's currently chosen, so end-users will see what the report is displaying. Not nearly as good a solution, but that's what I've been stuck with.
I'm having an issue with the parameters whenever I use the Go back to Parent Report button.
I have multiple reports each one of then has different parameters with different names. When I use the drill through ability in a report and then I do some filters in the report and then I go back, the parameters shown in the report does not belong to the current report but to the last one, I want to point out that the parameters names are differents in the reports.
I appreciate your help.
I have a ssrs project made up of various reports and subreports, and when I preview it I simply select the parameter (unique ID) and it creates a report for this ID.
The parameter drop down is a list of about 100 different ID's and I just want to know how I can just make it create all 100 reports. I only know how to preview one at a time.
Do I need to set up a report server or something?
There are many ways to go about it. You don't provide much context or detail about your situation, but in general here are two options:
Create a master report that has a dataset with all 100 ID's. Include a subreport (your actual report) inside a list and pass each ID as a parameter.
Deploy the report to a report server and use data driven subscriptions.
Programmatically generate the reports, for example by pulling a report from a report server for each ID, possibly via the web service endpoint or report server URLs.
I have read of linked reports where the user has to click on an element in a report to call for the next one. I do NOT WANT any user reaction required.
My ERP system makes a BOL report. That report has all the params I need to pass to a second report the Certificate of Analysis.
To me a subreport is on the same report itself. What is the term for this second report?
TIA
SSRS offer drillthrough reports, which sound like what you're after.
Drillthrough Reports
A drillthrough report is a report that a user opens by clicking a link
within another report.
To set one up, right click on a report element and set Action -> Go To Report and set it to the required drillthrough report.
You can set up the drillthrough report to accept parameters or fields from a Dataset in the parent report as required.
