Question

Question:
The requirements is that when you click the report on report manager you will get an popup window with the disclaimer message, only after you read this message you can click the “Agree” button, then you can continue to read the content of the report, if you
disagree with it, you can click the “Disagree” button to back to the home or other path you want.

To achieve this goal, we can add some JS or JQuery code in the report.aspx file in the path like:”C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportManager\Pages”
Find the path of the report.aspx file and add these code in to it.
