SSRS BIDS 2008 Parameter drop down visible on report

votes

See attached, circled image.

In BIDS when i preview this report, the parameters drop down menu is visible straight away, however when i deploy it to the server and run the report, i have to click the circled button to show the parameter options.

This may be easily missed by the user, is it possible to set this to appear by default?

It sounds like the report parameters are configured to be hidden. In Business Intelligence Development Studio:

  • open the Report Data tab -> Parameters
  • right-click each of the parameters -> Parameter Properties
  • make sure Select parameter visbility is set to Visible.

Parameter selection for all my reports are shown by default unless this is checked.

If you're linking the report from another page (or from another report), add &rc:Parameters=true to the URL. Info on additional URL parameters here.
