To do this, in the traveler you are trying to modify, add a "DB TEXT" field for the data and a "LABEL" field for the data label. I did successfully add the weight to the traveler. However my RTM Traveler that we use is very modified! If I can modify an RTM to have the information that I want I much prefer it, as it is easier on the users. If you want to find out more about Power View and want to learn about designing Tabular models to support Power View, don’t forget to check out our book – Visualizing Data with Microsoft Power View.I also have quite a few Access reports for various modules, but not too many for workorders. It does provide you the means to be able to send an end-user to a specific view within a Power View report file (assuming you have more than one view defined). So for now this is what we have available to us, just ViewMode and ReportSection. Pretty slick!Īs you can image this will work for the third and fourth views in the report file as well.
So with the naming convention displayed here let’s go back to our URL expressions above and expand on them and include the ReportSection into the URL address to change from the first view in the Power View report file to the second:īy using the ReportSection command we have been able to navigate from the first view (report) in our file (ReportSection=ReportSection) to the second view (ReportSection=ReportSection2).
In the XML displayed here we see 4 ReportSection tags in the RDL file and the naming convention is ReportSection, ReportSection2, ReportSection3, and ReportSection4. In looking at our example up above you can see that we have 4 views included in the Power View report. The ReportSections area is setup so that when you export into PowerPoint and access the views in say the PowerPivot Gallery it knows which view of the RDLX file to display and output. Take the file from our previous post and we can see the XML layout as follows: So if you have multiple views you will have multiple ReportSection tags within the ReportSections portion of the RDL file that is embedded in the RDLX file (see previous post for information on this – Inside the Power View RDLX File). What are ReportSections? In the RDLX file layout, a ReportSection is actual the equivalent of a view in a report file. You can now see that by switching the ViewMode value from Presentation to Edit we go from the Reading mode to the Edit mode where the canvas is available and we can modify the layout and design of the Power View report file. Presentation (Reading) mode is the initial view state of Power View files that you see when you access a RDLX file in SharePointĮdit mode is what you see when you open up the canvas and have the options to be able to alter and change the layout of the report With the ViewMode option you currently have two options you can use, either Presentation (Reading) or Edit So let’s take a quick peek at what these options look like: ViewMode With these files we can determine how the initial viewing mode is – currently only presentation (reading mode) or edit – and then which report (view) you want to look at (assuming you have multiple views in your report files). These are new options that are specific to Power View files (RDLX files). Hmmm….they don’t look like anything we had available with previous report files. So what is available with v1 of Power View with the RTM release of SQL Server 2012? With these files you have a lot of flexibility with your design and you can also leverage a lot of commands and syntax when accessing these files through the URL (in Report Manager or SharePoint) – URL Access Parameter Reference.
Many of you might be familiar with Reporting Services (SSRS) and creating report files (RDL). WARNING: The items that are displayed and discussed here are not documented at all by Microsoft and could potentially change at any point down the road, so use at your own risk. Today we will take a step back into SharePoint and explore what we can do when we access the Power View files through the URL. Yesterday we took a quick peek inside the RDLX file – Inside the Power View RDLX File.
