the Action property contains a value, as shown here:

The three dots indicate that an action has been defined for the current report item. You ll have to click the Ellipsis button to access the Action dialog box to see what kind of action has been defined. 15 With the Product cell selected in the detail row, click the Underline button on the Report Formatting toolbar.

If the user points to a report item that has an action defined, the cursor changes to a pointing hand to indicate that clicking the item will launch an action. To provide a visual cue to users that an action exists, it s a good idea to underline the text (if the report item is a textbox) to simulate a hyperlink, which most users recognize as a navigation tool.

Product Detail report, which looks like this:

If the report does not refresh, click the action again. 18 On the Preview toolbar, click the Back button to return to the Order Detail preview.

Dynamic visibility in Reporting Services allows you to create a drilldown report. Drilldown is a term typically used to describe the ability to click a summary value, which then displays the detail values that contribute to the selected summary value. To implement dynamic visibility, you select the report items to be hidden when the report opens and set the Hidden property for these items to True. Then, for these same items, you use the ToggleItem property to specify the report item that the user must click to make the hidden report items visible, or to return the visible items to a hidden state.

The Hidden property, which appears in the Visibility category in the Properties window, controls the visibility of a report item using the fixed values True or False, or a conditional expression that evaluates as True or False. Although a drilldown report often has all detail rows hidden when the report is initially rendered, you can use an expression to display the Detail Rows for specific grouping levels while hiding other detail rows for other grouping levels. In this procedure, you will hide the Detail Rows of the table in the Order Detail report.

Click the Layout tab, click the table to display handles, and then click the detail row row handle to select the entire row. In the Properties window, expand the Visibility category, and then click True in the Hidden property list box. The Hidden property, when set to True, prevents a report item from appearing in a report. However, the value can still be referenced by an expression associated with another report item. Click the table1_Order footer row handle. In the Properties window, expand the Visibility category, and then click True in the Hidden property list box. Save, and then preview the report. The report should look like this:

The order detail rows and the order footers (which had the subtotals) are now hidden from view. The table footer still displays and calculates correctly.

ToggleItem is another property that is assigned to the Visibility category in the Properties window. The value of this property must be a textbox in the report. When the report is rendered, the specified textbox will be displayed with a plus sign. When a user clicks the plus sign, the visibility of the report item is reversed. So, for example, if a detail row is hidden when the report is rendered and its toggle item is a textbox in a header row, when a user clicks that textbox, the detail row is displayed. Conversely, if the detail row is visible, when the user clicks the toggle item, the detail row is hidden. If group footer totals are in the rows that you are hiding when the report initially opens, you might want to include these totals in a visible group header temporarily. You can then use the ToggleItem property for individual cells to hide the totals in the group header when the group footer is visible. In this procedure, you will assign the SalesOrderNumber textbox to the ToggleItem property of both the detail row and table1_Order footer in the table of the Order Detail report.
