Action Properties Dialog Box

The Action dialog box can be used to enable hyperlink options for placeholder text, a text box, image, or an element of a chart, gauge, or map that support links. To open this dialog box, select the item on the report design surface, and in the Properties pane, click the ellipsis (...) next to Action.

Options

  • Enable as a hyperlink
    Select an option to indicate the action to perform when the user clicks the item.

  • None
    Choose this option to indicate that the item has no action.

  • Go to report
    Choose this option to create a link to a drillthrough report that is located on a report server.

  • Select a report from the list
    Type or select the name of the report that you want to use as a drillthrough report. Drillthrough reports must be on the same report server as this report.

    For a report published to a report server configured for native mode, use a full or relative path without the file name extension. If the report is in the same folder as the current report, use the name of the report only. If the report is in a different folder on the same report server, use a relative path or a full path. A relative path starts from the current folder and moves up the folder hierarchy, for example, ../Folder2/Report1. A full path starts from /, the Home folder. For example, /Reports/Report1.

    For a report published to a report server configured in SharePoint integrated mode, use a fully qualified URL including the file name extension (.rdl). For example, http://<SharePointservername>/<site>/Documents/Report1.rdl. Relative paths are not supported.

    For more information, see Specifying Paths to External Items (Report Builder 3.0 and SSRS).
