Remarks

The UsedInQuery element must contain one of the following string values:

  • True
  • False
  • Auto

You use the UsedInQuery to determine whether queries containing parameters that are associated with the report parameter are executed if the report parameter changes. This impacts whether the parameter can be changed in snapshot reports. Setting the value to Auto indicates that the report server attempts to detect whether the parameter is used in a query.
