SSRS (2012) How can I keep Image Header visible while scrolling? - reporting-services

Observe! Not Tablix header or Matrix header in fact no header at all, I want a Image that is a report wide image at the top of the reports to be visible when scrolling.
How can I do that???

I've tried to do the same time ago but seems like its not achievable. It is not even possible to use an expression for location property: SSRS: Report label position dynamic

Could you add the image to part of the main tablix of the page, as another column header above the other columns, then set it to scrolling?

tool box Place Image item in designer header and near row group you can see a small triangle simble .Click it and go to the second option . Now you can see a new group in Column grouping. Select that particular group properties and you can see false in most of the places . Change each false -> true and go to preview and scroll down .
Happy designing ( SML scripting in backend...)

Is there a way to make a rectangle not appear in the first page in ssrs?

I am creating a report on ssrs.
I have a rectangle with a textbox inside of it, that I want to hide on the first page. This is because I have another description of the item, with an image next to it, that only appears in the first page. Below this there is a tablix with details of the item, it can contain a variable number of rows.
The problem is I'm not able to hide the rectangle with the textbox in the first page only. I tried using global variables like PageNumber but you can't use it in the report body ( I tried many workarounds for this but none worked). I also can't just place the two rectangles I need to show on the report header because that only shows the first item (can't link it to dataset).
So what I'm asking is how to hide the rectangle? In the Image I linked the rectangle I want to hide on the first page is the grey one and the one that only shows in the first page is the pink one.
Thank you for you replies.

How would you dynamically change an SSRS body background image based on field value that may change from page to page?

I have a SSRS report where I need a watermark to show only on certain pages. The field that the watermark is based on may be different from page to page or group to group. The problem I'm having is that whatever the watermark is set to the first page, it remains throughout the report since I am setting the body background image. Any idea how I can do this?
Body Background Image Value:
=IIF(Fields!MilitaryPartAlert.Value = "** Military Part **","MilitaryWatermark","")
I think you might want to set the background image elsewhere. I would suggest adding a list item to your report, stretching it across the entire report, and add all of your report items into the first cell. Apply your grouping to the list item and the expression you posted above, and it should apply to each group instance or page. Though, I might recommend a small adjustment to the expression.
=IIF(Fields!MilitaryPartAlert.Value = "** Military Part **","MilitaryWatermark", Nothing)

Print Layout not showing repeating table headers ssrs

I'm trying to show the tables' headers on every new page and it is working in the usual preview mode in reporting services but it isn't working when showing the report in print layout mode. It shows the headers on some of the pages but only when my parent group is at the top of the page which it rarely is cause of the other "child-tables" data that shows after.
I've been following some other SO-posts where they suggest going in to advanced mode by the column group, choose the static field belonging to the table headers, putting "KeepWithGroup"-property to AFTER and the "RepearOnNewPage"-property to TRUE and ofcourse in the tablix properties check the "Repeat header columns on each page"-box.
While doing everything that people are suggesting in other SO-posts I just can't get it to work.
The image below shows what the table looks like, where the yellow marked area is the header and the red is the "child-table" I put in after merging that row. Between the marked rows is the parent table which the child table is ordered by.
The layout of the table in the report.
Please help me, this is such an annoying problem!
EDIT ---
Okay, so I get that the headers follow the group and that the "KeepWithGroup" = After shows the headers only when the group starts at the top of the page.
Is there any workaround to make the header showing on every page without making it a page header?
Please follow all the other advice readily available on this topic:
RepeatOnNewPage property to **True**.
KeepWithGroup property to **After**.
But then, make sure your lowest level Group has the KeepTogether property set to True.
Otherwise, you'll just be hoping your data breaks on the page for the header to repeat.
After much pain with this exact issue, even setting RepeatOnNewPage to true and KeepWithGroup property to After...ultimately the fix was adjusting the top and bottom margins of the report.
The weird part is that the headers correctly repeat in the report preview, but not after clicking the print layout button.
changing the top and bottom margin from 0.25 to 1 fixes the repeating header issue, but then adds some white space. I'm still trying to figure out the causal relationship between margin and why it breaks the header repeating...but it does fix the problem for some reason.

Header repeat with each record in SSRS Report

I would like to repeat header row with each record fetched in SSRS report. Please help me with the way to achieve the functionality.
Thanks in advance.
On the bottom row of the designer which shows Row Groups and Column Groups, there is an arrow down logo at the right side. Click that then it will show Advanced Mode.
Then on the row groups. click the 1st (Static) then on the Properties pane. Make RepeatOnNewPage property into True. I also suggest FixedData property into true so even if you scroll down, the header still shows.
Instead of grouping on the row you view as the header simply move into the child group.

I want to Repeat Page Header on each Page for reports.Repeat on NewPage is not appearing in properties of Tablix member in SSRS 2008

How to Repeat Page Header on each Page.
Repeat on NewPage Property is not appearing in ssrs 2008 tablix memeber property
After a little experimentation, I figured out how to consistently get the table header to repeat on every page.
The setting of the RepeatColumnHeaders property on the tablix seems to have no effect on this behavior. Instead, we have to set it on a static member of the row groups.
To see the static members of the row groups, click on the small drop down arrow on the far right of the row groups/columns groups header. Then select Advanced Mode.
With the static members of the row group shown, select the first one in the list. The top left cell of the tablix should be selected in the designer.
Now open the property pane and find the property RepeatOnNewPage and set it to True.
Then find the property KeepWithGroup and make sure it's set to After. If it's not, set it to After.
Now your table header will repeat on every page.
Depending on how you created your new report, the Tablix xml may or may not have attached the correct properties to the "Header" row of the tablix.
Here is another thread on SQL Server Central with the fix:
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic593245-1063-1.aspx
Here is the important bit:
for SSRS 2008,
If a report with a table is created using the wizard feature (In Solution Explorer, right click on >Reports --> Add New Report) Table Headers will repeat on every page.
Instead if a report is created without using the wizard (In Solution Explorer, right click on Reports --> Add --> New Item) Table Headers will not repeat on every page. Setting Repeat Header (Rows/Columns) on each Page for the Tablix will not help either.
If you have already built the report and cannot rebuild using the steps above and if and only if you are comfortable altering the xml behind the rdl, do the following. (Save a Backup rdl first)
View Code.
Look for TablixRowHierarchy
Below that there will be a TablixMember that corresponds to the header row.
to that header and any other header rows ( Tablix Member) add the three element properties.
<TablixRowHierarchy>
<TablixMembers>
<TablixMember>
<KeepWithGroup>After</KeepWithGroup>
<RepeatOnNewPage>true</RepeatOnNewPage>
<KeepTogether>true</KeepTogether>
</TablixMember>
...
You should see the header rows repeating.
I tried this in my own Report and found it fixed the problem.
You could also turn on "Advanced Mode" in the Row/Column Groups window and then modify each Static Row entries "RepeatOnNewPage" setting. You'll probably have to set "KeepWithGroup" to "After" as well.
This works well if you utilize a subreport as your header.
You can repeat page headings on every page if your page breaks are due to breaks between groups (hard pagination). You cannot repeat page headings between pages if the pagination is due to a small interactive page size (soft pagination). To repeat page headers on each page between groups, make the headers of the tablix part of the group and under the General tab of the Tablix Properties window check Column Headers -> Repeat header rows on each page. You can also do this from the general properties window of the Tablix by using the RepeatcolumnHeaders = True.
Please note my comments are limited to developing SSRS 2008 reports in BIDS. I do not know if this functionality exists in Report Builder.
here the steps you can follow. this resolved the issue(column header on each page):
1) in design mode of rdl file, at bottom you will find "Row Groups" and "Column Groups" (left and right, respectively). Beside Column Groups you will find one arrow button.(this arrow button is right side of column groups protion). click on this arrow button.
2) Check the "Advanced Mode"
3) RowGroups section you will find "(static)" and "(Details)". click on static and press F4(to check it's properties.)
4) provide "Keep With Group" as "After"
5)Provide "Repeat On New Page" as "True"
6) Go back to table, Right click on row header, Go to tablix properties.
7) check on "repeat Header Column on each page" and "repeat Header column on each Rows"
Hope this will help you.
