Long reporting titles. Not fully readable due to tiles view

  • Hi

    Our report titles are quit long. Due to the tile view in rS2008 the titles are not fully readable. Can this page be adapted ? Or can the user immediately land on the detail page ?

    It's all what's keeping me from going live. Now running on 2005, but I know my users won't like this.

    Kind regards

  • nobody has any idea ?

  • dont know if you could do something fancy in dns, where if they go to

    http://servername/reports it forces them to http://servername/reports/pages/folder.aspx?ViewMode=Detail

    otherwise you could use something like group policy to push out a favourite link to the client machines which goes to the second link forcing the details mode.

  • yes, that works, but the users can see all the folders, reports, even if they are hidden.

    Or is this setup ?

  • no that is correct, you can only hide objects in tile view

  • if you dont want people to see things your going to have to start changing the security settings on the objects instead of just hiding the things you dont want them to see.

    i would recommend setting up a number of active directory groups and place the users who need access into these groups which will make user account management in SSRS a whole lot easier.

    e.g 3 report folders, one for sales, one for finance, one for warehouse, have 3 AD groups like SSRSSales, SSRSFinance, SSRSWarehouse, then set the right security at the home level of the report server webpage then only grant SSRSSales access to the Sales folder etc, that way they can only see the Sales folder and the objects within the Sales folder.

  • ok thx, i'm gonna let my system engineer take a look at it.

    This poor design by microsoft 🙂
