"short circuit"/stop auto generating report after clicking report

In Report Manager, using a parameterless report or a report with parameters
that have default values, if one clicks on the report link in a folder, the
report automatically begins generating and then the data is viewable.
Is there any way to prevent the report from being (automatically) generated
so as to require the user to have to click the standard "View Report" button?
A solution might be in the "code"/RDL or perhaps the
"web.config"/RSWebApplication.config. Either is OK. Or anything else.On Jun 27, 1:28 pm, John <J...@.discussions.microsoft.com> wrote:

The easiest way to accomplish this is, in cases where report
parameters are used, to not have a default set for at least one of the
parameters. Sorry that I could not be of greater assistance.

"Jump to Report" where the report is a linked report.

I setup a folder called _Master in Report Manager and I deploy all reports to
this folder. I setup additional folders through Report Manager that are
related to specific job functions: Sales, Customer Service, Marketing, etc.
Whenever I create a linked report using the "Jump to Report" feature in the
navigation tab, the linked report automatically defaults to the _Master
folder. Since I limit access to _Master solely to administrators, this means
I cannot use the "Jump to Report" drill down.
Is there any way to make the "Jump to Report" feature search for the report
in the current folder? I tried making references like ../Sales/Report1, but
this hard-coded Sales as the end folder. For instance, is there a way to do
../CurrentFolder/Report1 to make certain people in the Sales folder remain in
the Sales folder?
Sincerely,
