SSRS Hide Description text in Report Manager

Hi
Does anyone know if you can hide the description text on report manager, this is populated in report properties > Description or can be updated direct in report manager.
I want to add a description but I do not want it displayed in report manager, is there a way of removing this?
Thanks

Hi Monkey14,
According to your description, you have a report with description. Now you just want to hide the description when accessing the report manager. Right?
In Reporting Services, we have a css file for Report Manager to set style. Now we just need to modify the style for description box. Please follow the steps below:
Go to Your Disk:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server[your MSRS instance]\Reporting Services\ReportManager\Styles\ReportingServices.css.
For your items, the style class name is "msrs-itemDescription":
p.msrs-itemDescription { white-space: nowrap; width: 250px; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-size:10pt; color:Gray; }
Add “display:none” in the style. It looks like below:
Save and preview.

SSRS 2012 SP2, Native / Report Manager, non-IE browsers show date parameters in US format MM/DD/YYYY, ignoring locale settings

I have a server running SSRS 2012 SP2, in Native / Report Manager mode. The server, reports, desktop etc are all set to en-AU.
Using IE, date parameters show as expected in DD/MM/YYYY format. However using Chrome or Firefox, they show in US format MM/DD/YYYY.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi Jiri,
Thanks for that speedy tip - that has solved it for Chrome.
I followed a similar path to get it fixed for Firefox - Settings / Content / Languages / add English/Australia [en-au] / Move Up to top spot.

SSRS 2012 - Multiple values for filtering (shown while editing in Report Builder) disappear in Report Manager view

Hi,
I have a multiple value parameter, with four specified default values (integers). When opening my report in Edit mode in the Report
Builder, and then pressing "run", I can see the default parameters in the upper section on the screen, and they are acting fine on the report. However, when opening the report from the Report
Manager (by double clicking it from there), the default values have disappeared and I have to fill them in manually. However, the values are not 100% forgotten, because when opening the "manage" section using the drop down
menu in the Report Manager, my default values are there, shown in the list.
Did I do something wrong? Is this a bug? What can I do to solve this?
Nb.:
I'm using SSRS 2012
Dataset created by the query "select parameterID from table group by parameterID"
The full set of parameters are collected by using the above dataset as input for "get values from a query" in "available values"
The default values are set by using the option "specify values" in "default values"
Hope one of you can help me out here!
Sietske
Nb.: For the time being I'm now using a hard coded workaround by adding "where parameterID ='4' or parameterID = '15'" to my select query.

Hi Sietske,
According to your description, there are several suggestions for your reference:
Based on the workaround query that “where parameterID ='4' or parameterID = '15'”, it seems that the parameterID and parameter is a string type field. So please make sure the default value of the parameter is Text data type, like below:
When you go to the Parameters tab after clicking the Manage option over the drop-down list, please enable ‘Has Default’ checkbox, and make sure the values in the ‘Default Value’ drop-down list are correct, then click Apply option.
If the report works well when you open the report in Report Builder, please click Save or (Ctrl+S) button to save the report to report server.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

SSRS 2012 - Groups in Report Manager aren't present when exported to Excel

Hi all, hope somebody can help with this issue, as I cant seem to find any other posts about it
I have a report in SSRS2012. It was copied from SSRS2005 quite recently, as we have upgraded. The SQL developer said that it didn't need any code changes, as he had some kind of tool to test code problems between the two versions.
The report has a table, with 5 row groups, and one detail row. The table is setup as follows:
Name                                         Sales
Costs       Profit
Group1
   Group2
      Group3
         Group4
            Group5
               DetailsRow
When I run this report using the Report Manager website from SSRS2005, and then export to Excel 2013, I get the 6 row groups in Excel, no problem whatsoever. I can drill into each group in Excel, using the group drilldown column on the left hand side. This
works the same as the Report Manager website.
If I run the exact same report from the Report Manager website in SSRS2012, the Report Manager result is the same as SSRS2005 - all the row groups are present, and the drilldown works fine. However, the export to Excel has issues with the groups. There are
only 3 row groups showing in Excel, along with a column group added for no apparent reason. Drilling into each group shows inconsistent details, and there is no apparent logic as to what is shown within each group.
Hopefully, someone has seen this issue before, and can help, because I have no idea what to do, having spent a couple of days trying to figure it out. I should also mention, that this issue with groups is seen on all my reports which have groups, not just
this report
Thanks for any and all help
Naz

Hi Naz,
According to your description, the report works correctly in SSRS 2005 while the same report doesn’t work in SSRS 2012 when exporting to a Excel file.
In your scenario, please make sure you are migrating the report from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2012 instead of copying the .rdl directly. Generally, we are using Reporting Services Migration Tool to migrate reports between report server. Please refer to this article:
SQL Server Reporting Services: Migrating SSRS reports, data sources and subscriptions from one server to another.
After migrating the report successfully, you should upgrade the report definition in SQL Server Data Tools to upgrade the .rdl file. Please refer to this article:
Upgrade Reports.
If you have upgraded the report but the issue still persists, please provide report design for our analysis. If possible, please provide some screenshots about the preview result and Excel render result.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Cannot download .rdl files in SSRS Report Manager 2012.

I am unable to download .rdl reports in report manager 2012.
I am able to create reports using report builder and I am able to run /view reports that I create.
However , the drop down box does not work work when I attempt to access drop down menu that is to the right of the report.
I am running this report manager on my local machine. I am an administrator on my local machine.
Under "site settings" I have set up my user account, which is administrator, I have checked the System Administrator box and System User box.
Under "folder settings" I have checked all of the boxes. for my user account, I have all of the boxes selected. Browser, Content Manager, My Reports, Publisher, Report Builder.
My account is also sysadmin on the database.
After checking all of this, I still cannot access the drop down menu in order to download .rdl files. The menu does not activate at all when I click it.
What are some things that I can further check/confirm?
[email protected]

Hi wayne,
According to your description, you are unable to access the dropdown menu of a report so that you can't download the .RDL file directly from Report Manager. Right?
In this scenario, it can be many reasons to cause this problem, even the current user has enough authority to do anything on Report Manager. Please try to do trouble shooting as below:
Run the browser as an Administrator.
Add the Report Manager URL as Compatibility View settings.
Use http://<servername>/reports instead of using Localhost.
If the steps above still can't make you see the dropdown menu, it might caused by corrupt reportingservices.js file. Please try to restore this file on server.

SSRS 2008 r2 - the Report Manager won't load unless "/Reports" is added to the DNS entry in address bar

Need some direction, please.
We are moving off SSRS 2005 to a new server with SSRS 2008R2. The old installation (2005) a DNS entry was created "reports" with the ip address and port number simple. In the Configuration manager the Report Manager Virtual Directory
is "Reports". Website is Default web site. Typing "reports" into the address bar opens up report manager. When this is done the address shows as reports/reports/pages/folder etc.
The new installation is configured the same(?). DNS entry "reports2" with new ip address and port number. In the Configuration manager the Report manager URL virtual directory is "Reports" URLs: =
http://servername:port/Reports. The issue is when typing "Reports2" into the address bar the report manager won't open unless "reports" is added to the dns name i.e. http://reports2/reports
is entered.
This thread took me to more like kind thread than my searches. Went into IIS in the default web site I added an htm file with a redirect. Then started it, it works. Maybe due to my inexperience but seems counter intuitive as I thought Reporting Services did
away with any reliance on IIS.

Hi Urquhart,
According to your description, if you type "Reports2" in the browser, then you want to redirect to the report manager homepage in SSRS 2008 R2, right?
In Reporting Services 2008 R2, it uses HTTP.SYS for HTTP access and it’s independent of Internet Information Server(IIS). The role for HTTP.sys in Reporting Services is that, HTTP.sys receive the user's request, and then send it to report server. Report
Server handle the request(e.g. authenticate the users), and then use HTTP.sys the send HTTP responses again. In a word, HTTP.sys is just a driver, which allow us to communicate the clients(browser) with Report Server without Microsoft Internet Information
Server(IIS).
So, since HTTP.SYS doesn’t provide URL redirection function, we are not able to redirect "Reports2" to report manager homepage by default. If we want to use redirect function, we should add a .html file in IIS to redirect the user to the report
manager.

SSRS user created on Report manager is different from ReportServer database userName

Hi All,
It will be quite helpful if someone can advice:
I created reporting services user on SSRS report manager as MeahK1 which is network username he was given. He is created succesfully but when he tries to access live reports, he is not able to see them because he does not have any access. When checked in
ReportServer db, this user is created as MeahK instead of MeahK1.
I am trying to see user details from the below query:
select *
FROM ReportServer.dbo.Catalog
INNER JOIN
ReportServer.dbo.Policies
ON Catalog.PolicyID
= Policies.PolicyID
INNER JOIN
ReportServer.dbo.PolicyUserRole
ON Policies.PolicyID
= PolicyUserRole.PolicyID
INNER JOIN
ReportServer.dbo.Users
ON PolicyUserRole.UserID = Users.UserID
where username like 'Meah%'
Do any one know what could be the problem as all other users apart from him are working fine and let's say if a user ID is Kh3R, then he also is user with same name in ReportServer db.
Can this problem be fixed?
Adnan

Hi Adnan,
According to your description, you want to grant a user to access report manager, right?
In Reporting Service, after installing a new report server, only users who are members of the Local Administrators group have permissions to access report manager. If we want to grant permissions for other users to access report manager, we should add users
to an item-level role and system-level role. Once the user account is added to an item-level role or system-level role, it will be added on the dbo.Users table within the ReportServer database. In your scenario, please check if "MeahK1" has been
added to an item-level role and system-level role. For more information, please refer to this article:
Grant User Access to a Report Server (Report Manager) .

How to enable document map in SSRS Report Manager

Hi Team,
How to enable Document Map in SSRS Report manager 2008 version.
laxman

Hi kumarj4009,
As per my understanding, you created a Document map, it works fine in Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS), but you could not view the report in report manager.
After we create a report in Visual Studio, we need to publish it to a report server to make it available to users. In Report Designer in Business Intelligence Development Studio, we must specify the report server as well as folders for reports and shared
data sources so that we can publish the items in a project. For detail information, please refer to the following steps:
Right-click the report project, and then click Properties.
In the Property Pages dialog box for the project, select a configuration to edit from the Configuration list.
In OverwriteDataSources, select True to overwrite the data source on the server each time reports are published, or select False to keep the data source on the server.
In the TargetDataSourceFolder text box, type the folder on the report server in which to place the published shared data sources.
In the TargetReportFolder text box, type the folder on the report server in which to place the published reports.
In the TargetServerURL text box, type the URL of the target report server, then click OK.
Right-click the report in the project, then click deploy, after the report is successfully deployed, you can preview the report in report manager.
For more information about Set Deployment Properties, please refer to the document:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155802(v=sql.100).aspx
If there is any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

How to show unhidden parameter in linked report in report manager in ssrs ?

Hi,
in my ssrs report1 i have added a image,if i click on that image it will redirect to report2 and it will take parameters from report1 automatically and all parameters are in report2 are hidden because it will consider report1 parameters,but here my requirement
is
in report2 i have total six parameters and all are hidden,i want to show the one of the hidden parameter(LOB) in report,so, i was set visibility property to visible, now i am able to see that one parameter(LOB).
but after deploying the report in report manager,when i click on the image it is not showing the parameter(LOB)
Do i need to change anything in image properties?please let me know
Please help me with this issue how to show the that one particular parameter(LOB) in report manager which is unhidden?, it is an urgent requirement.
here we are building reports on cube.
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks in advance,
Naveen

Hi Naveen,
As per my understanding, since the purpose of a drill-through report is to pass the parameters from main report to the details report, we wouldn't want users to see or modify the parameters in the details report. Therefore, by default, the parameter pane
is automatically hidden in the details report.
In this scenario, we can try to use “Go to URL” instead “Go to report” option to work around this issue. If the parameters are multi-value parameters, we can use the expression to like below:
="javascript:void(window.open('http://server_name/reportserver?/Report_folder/Report_name&A=" &Join(Parameters!B.Value,"&A=") & "','_blank'))"
If the three parameters are single-value parameters, we can use the expression to like below: ="javascript:void(window.open('http://server_name/reportserver?/Report_folder/Report_name&A=" & Parameters!B.Value & "','_blank'))"
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Need to display variable descriptive text in a report

Does anyone know of a way to display the descriptive text for user entry variables in Crystal Reports? I've tried a couple of methods in the past (a subreport going against master data and building an array of text valued from the data) but each has method has some significant drawbacks. How are customers dealing with this right now? I have been encouraging them to be satisfied with the technical names, but that doesn't go over very well.

Look like no one had any thoughts. I'll just close this one down for now.
