Report Navigation

Developers can add interactive features to navigate to related reports (jump to report or URL) or within a single report (find, go to page, jump to bookmark, and document map). Developers can add links to related reports, reports that have more details (drill down through or simply drill through), or, in general, to any web page. Bookmarks and document maps provide navigation within a large report.

For multipage reports, SSRS provides functionality to move through pages of the report, go to a specified page, and go to the beginning or the end of the report. In addition, users can search through a report for a string that they specify in search criteria.

If a report is too big or too small for a page, the zoom capability comes in handy. Users can zoom-in and zoom-out on the report's page when using web-oriented formats (HTML, HTMLOWA). Other formats such as PDF handle zoom through corresponding applications, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader.

After a user accesses the Reporting Services site, she can navigate a folder hierarchy to find reports and other items. In addition, reports can be added to a Favorites list in a web browser, presented via a web portal. Users can store and manage reports and other items in a personal workspace.

In addition, users can use an interactive sorting featurethe end users can sort rows in the table interactively by clicking on the column heading. Report developers can enable or disable this functionality.
