is there a way to change the value of the built-in parameter: User ID? I don't need the name of the windows authenticated user, but the name that I pass in the url to open the web page containing the report.
i.e. http://servername/ReportList/Pages/Report.aspx?username=somename
I would like that User ID = username, so I can display it in the footer of the page.
Thank you
C.
You can't change the value of the built-in field but you can create a parameter, even calling it UserId or Username. (The built-in field is not really a parameter.)
Then you can assign a value to that parameter using URL Access:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155391.aspx (SQL 2016 link)
For example, to specify two parameters, “ReportMonth” and
“ReportYear”, defined in a report, use the following URL for a native
mode report server:
http://myrshost/ReportServer?/AdventureWorks2008R2/Employee_Sales_Summary_2008R2&ReportMonth=3&ReportYear=2008
For
example, to specify the same two parameters defined in a report, use
the following URL for a SharePoint integrated mode report server. Note
the /_vti_bin:
http://myspsite/subsite/_vti_bin/reportserver?http://myspsite/subsite/AdventureWorks 2008R2/Employee_Sales_Summary_2008R2.rdl&ReportMonth=3&ReportYear=2008
Note that you can't use URL access when running the report through the "Report Manager" interface which gives the title bar and the views to explore reports (usually at /reports/.) ReportServer is a different service that just sends the report itself.

I have created a report where I created one calculated column which holds the value of dynamic URL. It has ID as parameter and I want to slice the data based upon that after publishing. When I am publishing this report to powerbi.com and I am using this URL to filter out the data, it shows me all the data. The filters through URL is not working.
I just went through a blog and when publishing through query string parameter it says that it has a limitation that it doesn't work when it will be published to web. What does it mean?
Below is the calculated column:
https://app.powerbi.com/groups/ce347380-637d-4700-838f-f7b00294256c/reports/374c3b7b-18f0-46f6-b5ec-2c97cbb01611/ReportSection?filter=Append1/Append1[SIMPrjReqID] eq '"&Append1[SIMPrjReqID]&"'
where Append1 is table and SIMPrjReqID is a column on which I want to filter out the data dynamically.
Please advise!
it has a limitation that it doesn't work when it will be published to web. What does it mean?
This means that passing URL query string parameters to filter data works only when applied on the report's URL, as you see it in the browser's address bar when you open it in powerbi.com, and not on the URL that you get when you use Publish to web option to make it public:
This filter does not work, because you didn't specified the field name correctly:
?filter=Append1/Append1[SIMPrjReqID] eq '"&Append1[SIMPrjReqID]&"'
As noted in the official documentation, the filter is passed in this format URL?filter=Table/Field eq 'value', where Field is the name of the field. So your query string parameter should look like this:
?filter=Append1/SIMPrjReqID eq '"&Append1[SIMPrjReqID]&"'
I created two separate content types: "Clients" and "Injuries".
In "Clients" each record/node has a client_id (autoincrement by module Serial). In "Injuries" there is a field client which refers to client_id.
I created a (block) View for Injuries, with a contextual filter "Content: Client" so that I can filter out all the injuries of a specific client (for example: client_id = 3), just by typing the URI: /injuries/3.
Now I'm trying to create a link on the Client's page, which dynamically uses the client_id of that client. I tried the module "Linkit" and "D8 Editor Advanced Link".
Is there a way to get the client_id value of the node and use it in the URI?
I also try to make the link in a table view. Unlike the "edit-link" and the "view-link" which are in core, there's no way to customize the path in there.
Can anyone help pointing me in the right direction? Can I make it with the UI of Drupal 8 or do I have to dive into code?
You can create a token based field for your client content type using field_token_value module.
You create this field as usual and in the settings field value should be something like this
see all injuries
where [node:field_client_id] would be replaced with the appropriate client_id each time.
NOTE: There is also a link on the settings page that you can also display all available tokens
In the following URL, that unsubscribes a user from a list:
http://xxxxx.us2.list-manage.com/unsubscribe?
u=87f537bccxx35e53a1890e0d9&
id=40dcxx6cd6&
e=c4aaxx1dd6&
c=9a6xx11963
What does each parameter do?
Today I had to learn what each nondescript parameter means so that I could generate URLs for each email I send through Mandrill. It wasn't that easy to discover their meaning, but here are the one's I've come up with and how I found out what they are.
http://xxxxx.us2.list-manage.com/unsubscribe?
u=87f537bccxx35e53a1890e0d9&
id=40dcxx6cd6&
e=c4aaxx1dd6&
c=9a6xx11963
URL format:
Protocol can be http or https.
Your username comes next
In the example, us2 is the MailChimp datacenter where your account resides. That's different for each account. (https://apidocs.mailchimp.com/api/2.0/) It's good practice to specify a DC even though the documentation says that it isn't required. Specifying it will cut down on unnecessary latency.
list-manage[n].com can work with or without the number at the end of the domain, or it can have a 1 or a 2. Changing that doesn't appear to matter, but I think it has something to do with their load balancing.
/unsubscribe can also be /subscribe or /profile (The latter appears to be dependent on the "e" parameter. (See below) When you don't specify it, it states, "List member profiles cannot be updated from test campaigns or archive pages" and if you specify an invalid value, you get an error page.
u Is a unique identifier for your account. Every list on your account uses it. (See http://kb.mailchimp.com/lists/signup-forms/find-the-unsubscribe-link-for-your-list for how you can view the various URLs for your account.)
id is your list ID
e is the euid as documented on https://apidocs.mailchimp.com/api/2.0/lists/subscribe.php
c I haven't seen this one yet, but my guess is that it's the campaign ID.
Also, when you wish to prefill subscribe and unsubscribe forms, you can use the following GET params.
EMAIL Allows you to enter the subscriber's email
MERGE1 Allows you to enter the subscriber's first name
MERGE2 Allows you to enter the subscriber's last name
I have a report that is being passed parameters through the URL, but would like to have the report load by default before the user has to click the 'View Report' button. I have rs:Command=Render in the URL but this doesn't seem to be doing it. Is there another tag that I am missing here? The URL is currently as follows:
https://server/subfolder/viewreport.aspx?Report%Name&rs:Command=Render&Parameter1=Value1&Parameter2=Value2
The report comes up with the appropriate values selected by default, as passed above, but it does not run until I hit View Report. Do I need to specify all the other parameters in the report through the URL in order for it to run by default, even though those parameters already have default values?
Found it, the report renders automatically as long as all parameters have a 'Default' value specified. Two text parameters in the report needed to have their default expressions set to =""
I'm developing some reports for Main Page in Dynamics Ax, however the problem i've got is connected with SSRS. Typical scenario i have report A and report B, i need to open report A when clicking on report B. Opening report itself is correct, but passing parameters is more tricky. After some research i got to the point when I want to run report A in browser using the adress
http://(server address)/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=/Dynamics/Reports.VendorsOpenTransactionsCount.AutoDesign1&rs:Command=Render&VendOpenTrans_dataAreaID=dor&VendOpenTrans_p1=2011-07-21&VendOpenTrans_p2=2011-07-21
and then i get report displayed(main window) but non of the parameters are validated into proper textboxes, and changing the value of them doesn't have any impact.
can anyone here help me with that "challenge"
Actually, I believe the critical difference is whether you are passing parameters (via URL) to a report that is using database engine or the SSAS - the analytical engine as a data source.
If your data source is the analytical engine then your parameter should be given in the 'dimension format', rather than in the precise format, like &parmname=140, etc. Allow me to explain using specific example and using SSAS data source for this illustration (there is plenty of solutions available on the net for the database engine based solution, including Microsoft postings).
My server name is FRELASM.
So, I have SSAS data source called DealerSource (not visible here).
I have parameter defined in the parameter's section of the SSRS as: #DwDimDealerCorpDlrNbr
In SSAS I have the following dimension:
[Dw dim Dealer] that has attribute: [Corp Dlr Nbr] ==> giving: [Dw dim Dealer].[Corp Dlr nbr]
What I want is to show a report for a single dealer 'number' (but it is a text field, hence the leading zeros) equal to 00140. So, I am looking for Corporate dealer number=00140.
The parameter passing DOES NOT WORK if I use this [this would be find against database engine, but it does not work with SSAS).
What you need is this:
replace constant 00140 with [dimension].[attribute].[value]
do not use & character, rather replace it with: %26.
So, the working version is this.
Can you take a look at this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155391.aspx
It explains about when you can pass parameters via URL. Maybe your parameters are not set to Prompt for user input. HTH.
