Parameters
In Reporting Services, use parameters to:
- Specify the data to use in a report.
- Connect related reports.
- Vary report presentation.
To design a report that uses parameters effectively, determine:
- How parameters and dataset queries work together.
- How parameters and expressions work together.
- How parameters are managed on the report server for a published report.
- What questions a report answers.
The parameter choices affect the report's design and layout.
Add query parameters to a dataset query with the query designers or the
Dataset Properties
dialog box. After a query creates with parameters, Reporting Services automatically links query parameters to report parameters with the same name. Add and modify report parameters in the Report Data
pane.Provide Feedback
