We have a client who is migrating from Report Builder 1.0 to Report Builder

  • 0

We have a client who is migrating from Report Builder 1.0 to Report Builder 2.0. Yes, I realise they are very behind the game, and RB3 has been out ages, but there are internal reasons why they are making this decision …

This being the position we are at, there is a “search” button on RB1, that doesn’t exist on RB2.

Report builder 1.0 search button

It allows the user to search for fields in the database at report design time.

Does anyone have any thoughts on if/where the same feature exists in RB2? My suspicion is that the functionality is somehow part of Report Models in RB1 and so obviously doesnt exist in RB2.

Many thanks,

Marcus

    OK. thanks to the two guys that posted suggestions … I have found a work around, not exactly what I was after, but it has satisfied the particular user concerned. It is as follows:

    It has been discovered that the “Search” functionality is linked (for some reason) to the “Cube Models”, A “Report Model” needs to be generated from the cube/sql source within the Report manager (e.g. http://ServerName/ReportServerName/)

    Build Report Model

    Then in RB2.0 (or RB3.0) create a new data source connection

    New Data Source Connection

    Then “Add Dataset” on the data source created, choose “Query Designer”, then desired perspective, then the “Search” function will be available.
