What is the meaning of several reports listed in a single SSRS report?

Question

I have one SSRS report as below (image)

I am new to SSRS; What does this report mean?

If I need to change any parameter value for this type of report, do I need to go to each report and change the parameter for them separately?

Answer 1

Question:
What does this SSRS report mean?

Answer:
Portfolio Control Panel = Main Report
Portfolio_XXX = all 8 are signatures.

Subreports may or may not be associated with the main report. To find the link for the report, you can right-click on the sub-report (gray) and then report the link.

Question:
Do I need to go to each report and change the parameter for them separately?

Answer:
If you change the parameter name / type, and the nested data is connected or use the parameter to filter the data, then yes, you must change the main report and subreport.

Answer 2

If all your reports use the same parameters, you only need to make changes to the main report, but if the auxiliary reports have their own parameters, you should change the parameters of the main report, as well as the parameters of the auxiliary reports.

Answer 3

You have two ways to change the parameter of any SSRS report .

During development . When you design your report, you can set the input parameters in the report. You can specify a default value, or you can leave this part if you do not want to provide default parameters.

At runtime:. When you are viewing a report or viewing a report in a browser, you can specify parameters if these reports are parametric. Here you can change the settings.

Please note that if you have provided default parameters and you are viewing the report in a browser / preview, then it shows the default parameters.

Answer 4

You can use subreports if all reports expect the same parameters. If not, it’s better to go the other way. I needed to use only one subheading for recent projects.

Answer 5

This is one of the main features of auxiliary reports in order to be able to use the same parameters for all of them, therefore, most likely, they are the same, but the final call must be made during full viewing, including any involved expressions. M
