Use current report name as parameter?

  • I would like to start including a short paragraph definition of the logic used within each SSRS report inside the report itself to potentially avoid confusion on the user's part in what data they're actually viewing.

    I thought I'd create a separate dataset and use the definition field in the catalog table in reportingservices to just display that field in a table at the bottom of each report. But in that dataset, I'd have to identify the actual report that i want the definition for. Rather than hardcode the name of the report, i wondered if it was possible to use the ReportName built-in field, or something like that?

    Or does anyone else out there have other thoughts on how to dynamically include this decription information in a report?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks!

  • I think i just answered my own question....

    Figured out how to use the Built-In fields from within the Parameters section of the dataset.

    🙂
