DOWNLOAD POWER BI REPORT BUILDER MANUAL
What you ideally want are one or two prompts that require manual selection. Remember that if all prompts have a default value the dashboard/report will run automatically when selected. But, the short answer is: if you are building a report in Visual Studio, it is best to set default values right off the bat for most, but not all, prompts. However, if you set the default value within Visual Studio, it applies to all SSRS and PBRS servers, unless overwritten by the first method. Keep in mind that if you set the prompt’s default value within PBRS or SSRS, it only applies to that server. Since the steps are essentially the same for Visual Studio and Report Builder, I will only show Visual Studio in this blog post.
You can set the default value within PBRS or SSRS.This is kind of a trick question because, more-or-less, they both do the same thing. What Are the Two Ways for Setting Default Prompt Values? It is only when you are using a much older version, such as SSRS 2005 (which is no longer supported) where the steps change ever so slightly. In my example below, I will be using PBRS 2019, but I confirmed that the steps are EXACTLY the same in SSRS 2016, SSRS 2017 and SSRS 2019. Yes! The process might slightly vary (I really mean slightly) from one version to the next, but you can do this in ALL versions of Power BI Report Server (PBRS) and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). Can You Set Default Report Parameters in All Versions of Power BI Report Server and SSRS? All of this is to say there are different report screenshots for different sections within this blog post and that’s the reason why. I felt it was better to talk about the process and not take a lot of time redoing the screenshots. What I didn’t do was recreate all of the screenshots to make it look like I was working on one report from start to finish. After reviewing both, I felt it was better to merge them into one. This blog post originally started off as two different posts covering more-or-less the same topic. This blog post covers both methods, so you can save yourself some time and trouble in the long run. So, wouldn’t it be nice to setup a default value for your prompts? Well, I’m happy to tell you that you can do just that! There are two (kind of) ways for setting default report parameters.
One of the things that you want to avoid, however, is constantly telling everyone what collection or settings to select each time. If you use Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM) a lot, you most likely use the reports a lot too! You are also more likely to send the MECM reporting site link to other teams or people in your organization, like the CTO or the security team.
