I have created a report which contains a number of parameters so that the user can filter the data.
By default the show/hide paramters tab is closed.
To access these parameters the user needs to click on the usual button to expand the header area and view all the possible parameters.
This is all fine, I want the parameters to be hidden by default as it take up a large proportion of the report and not everyone wants to see them.
What I do want however is to create a text box called 'Use filtering' or something similar and create an 'action' so that when this box is clicked on the URL for the report with some sort of additional command on the end included so that it reloads the current page but with the command to show the parameter pane.
I have tried adding the following to the URL of the report page but it does not work:
&rc:HeaderArea=full&rc:Parameters=true
and also
&rv:HeaderArea=full&rc:Parameters=true
All it does it reload the page but with no changes to the parameter pane.
Can anyone point me in the right direction here.
If you want to use these parameters, you must load the report via the Web Service URL rather than the front end URL.
Typically on a standard install these are http://MyServer/Reports (Front end) and http://ReportServer (WebService). Only the WebService URL will accept the parameters you are trying to use, the other will just ignore them, hence why the report is loading but not observing the parameters your passing to it.

another way i have tried, used rs:Embed=true in dripthrough custum URL option but it's opening in different window. but i want in same window.
let me know if need more clarification
Take a look at the documentation here and search for rv:HeaderArea. It may lead to a workable solution. I would also be curious what rc:toolbar=false would look like in your situation.

If all else fails you can retrieve the raw report as html40 directly form the api, however, most of the navigational features will have to be re-implemented.
In my DB i have a table called "PrintList" populated with a random number of records and a report called "ReportList", which is linked to "PrintList", that is used to print all the records of the table above.
EDIT: I would let the user to see a print preview in Access to check the list and then choose if print it or not, so i prefer to avoid using code to print.
Is it possible to handle the "ReportList" print event and delete all "PrintList" records after the report is printed? Right now I use a button to empty the list via SQL, but it will be more useful to empty it after printing it.
Report/section events like On Format or On Print are fired both for Print Preview and for actual printing. So the report doesn't know, and thus can't handle your requirement.
I'd use a form with buttons for Preview and Print, and delete the records when the form is closed (because you can't prevent the user from printing from the preview).
The whole requirement looks a bit strange, TBH.
Open your report in design mode.
If the properties pane on the right isnt visible, press F4 to make it visible.
In the properties pane, click on the Events tab.
Find the OnPrint event and click the little ellipses to the right of it to open a VBA window ready to accept your code for that event.
My clients have upwards of 40 reports with very similar parameters. These are hosted on SharePoint, but are consumed by users through a web application, and so when a report is selected and the parameters are shown, the report's title is lost. My clients are irritated that they don't know, from the parameters page, which report is being displayed (many have very similar names and they are selected from a grid, and so mis-clicking is an issue)
Is there some trick to showing the report title on the parameters page?
Thanks
Edward
I will suggest to add an additional parameter and show the report name in that.
Some points to highlight in your question.
First, I don't know any trick for showing the title in the parameter pane, as a matter of fact, I don't believe it does exist. Showing it as a parameter is something that I wouldn't do as a solution for a customer.
Second, not showing the little line with the report's path is something that can be chosen when invoking the report (by means of url, see links below) and if they are accessing through another web application, this should be the one taking care of this matter. Note that if you show the url or the little line with the path, you can compromise security (access will depend on folders setup, but you leave a door open). This web application should know what is it showing and should display the right name (any the actual report's name or a custom name within the web app). This is what happens when you embed SSRS reports using a browser in an external app.
Third, the report itself should have a title displayed once the report is executed.
As a summary, I don't believe this issue's solution is under SSRS management/development scope.

As you can see, there are lots of things that you can do playing around with the url, such as:
Pass parameters
Hide path pane
Hide parameters pane
Render format, you can call an url asking for an excel or pdf render and you get the download dialog for the file.
Hope this helps.
Ive had a request from a client to make a popup box appear on the click of a databar within an SSRS report. Not had any luck with various Google Searches and just wanted to know if anybody has either got this work directly or has any suggestions for a workaround they have used?
Bit of background on the actual report itself, it simply contains a table with various stacked DataBars showing comparable data between multiple users in a system. The ability is needed to click a bar and see which User that bar relates to.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
It's not quite the same thing, but you can use the SSRS tooltips functionality to achieve something similar, i.e. a user will hover over a part of a chart and some contextual text information will be displayed.
Show ToolTips on a Series has some further information.
You can add an action to an object with a javascript popup which can show a specific URL or another report. In the action click on Fx to set an expression as follows:
I used a different script to popup a URL which contains an image url from the database:
="javascript:void(window.open('" + Fields!ImageURL.Value + "', null, 'width=800, height=500, status=no, toolbar=no, menubar=no, location=no'))"
( you can replace Fields!Image.Value with a url , this is the URL from a database field)
a
On a PC this will showup properly sized as a popup. On an iPad it will appear as a new tab.
Reporting Services
I need to jump to a specific report according to the value that takes a variable data set.
For example: If the variable has the value = 2, then go to the report 'Informe_1' but if the value is = 4, then go to the report 'Informe_2', this automatically without having to click anything. That is a generic type of report which determines which of the 2 reports must be charged according to the value of the variable.
Currently I have in the properties of the variable, in action, go to report, but I need to specify the condition to be 'Informe_1' or 'Informe_2' according to the value of that variable (2 or 4).
I'm not aware of a way to automatically go to a specific report without the user clicking something; however, you can specify an expression for the Action on something and that way the user will get the report specified by your variable when they do click.
In Design view, right-click the text box, image, or chart to which you want to add a link and then click Properties.
In the item's Properties dialog box, click Action.
Select Go to report. Additional sections appear in the dialog box for this option.
In Specify a report, click Browse to locate the report that you want to jump to, or type the name of the report. Alternatively, click the expression (fx) button to create an expression for the report name.
Also, see Expression Examples (Report Builder 3.0 and SSRS) for more information about expressions.
You can also alter the visibility of a linked item similarly. To give an example, in some of my own reports I have a hidden #ReportParameter that I use to pass the report to return to when a Back link is clicked. If that parameter is empty I hide the link. I use Go to report and specify =Parameters!ParentReport.Value in the expression for the Action. For Visibilty with show or hide based on an expression selected, visible is false and hidden is true. That makes my Visibility expression =Parameters!ParentReport.Value = "".
