I have read in MSDN it says that...
1.Parameters pane: The report viewer toolbar displays a prompt and default value for each parameter. Parameter layout on the toolbar is formatted automatically. The order is determined by the order that parameters appear in the Report Data pane.
It is not possible to change the design of the parameters textbox?
No, it is not possible to change the design of the parameters textbox if you are using SSRS out of the box. If you want to customize the layout, you need to design a Web/Windows form and create your own layout for parameters and use the ReportViewer control to which you pass the parameters via code and then display the report.
The below 'dirty' way worked for me. If you already have the parameters built then delete them and rebuild them
Step1: Create the paramters in the report data window in the order which you want them to be display left to right(and they overflow into the row below)
Step2: Assign the parameters in the same order in the dataset.

Is there a way to make the input section (filters) collapsible while viewing the report in jasper? This is to get a wider view of the entire report. The input section takes away some space. So, once I select my filters, I would want a mechanism to collapse it. Is there a way for this?
Thanks
Rathi
If you right-click the report in the repository browser and choose Edit, you can customize how the input controls layout in the report viewer, for example you could choose Pop-up window.
See here for a description of all the layouts: https://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/tibco-jasperreports-server-ultimate-guide/v640/customizing-report-rendering-page
There is a way. You can use "Input Controls" icon available in the Report Viewer Tool Bar to show/ hide the filters for a report. See image here:
Show-Hide Input controls
Alternatively, if you got Commercial edition of Jasper Reports Server, you can create your own custom report viewer page to add auto hide feature for input controls (filters) and can embed reports inside it using Visualize.js.
I want to give hyperlink in HTML 5 Chart, so that If I click anywhere in the chart area , that should be redirected to the different report.
How can I achieve this in iReport?
A Jaspersoft employee just directed me to this article on the wiki. Summary of the article:
Edit Chart Properties->Chart Data->Data Axes
Under Categories, click to add/modify the one you want
Click the properties tab, and then "Add"
Give a name, such as "myUrl" and then enter the URL and close it
Under measure, select the one you want to link and click Hyperlink
Double click each to edit as you wish
If you want a different report depending on the slice, you'll need to set the URL expression in a property for the category bucket. The bucket properties weren't showing up for me, but I figured out you can type it in as bucket_name.property_name (say bucket was named urlBucket and property was myUrl: urlBucket.myUrl). If it is one report for the entire report, you can set it as a constant in the measure hyperlink.
Usually if you right click in any charts in Ireport and select "hyperlink" .
There you can add the hyperlink details like which report you want to add and pass parameters from main report to child report.
You can refer this link
(But i am not sure about HTML5 charts because I use community edition and in community edition we don't have HTML5 charts)
I want to design a template/report where certain component's position become static or frozen. Anyone using my jrxml file, should not be able to re-position it at design time. He can add/delete new fields, but cannot modify components I have frozen.
Is it possible?
No. The .jrxml is just a text file (an XML file). There is no feature for locking it down in iReport.
You can achieve functionality like this by abstracting the user from the .jrxml. For example in JasperReports Server you can let the user layout the report, but the server always places some fixed things into the final report.
I want to have this layout in Crystal Reports:
How can I do this? If it cant be done in CR or SSRS, is there any other alternatives?
I don't believe this can be done with Crystal Reports. I'm not as familiar with SSRS, but after looking through the field options I don't believe it can be done with it either. In general field locations are set static in reporting solutions.
I think this would be best done with html/css or even XSL. I don't know the scope of the issue, but I'd assume that you should be able to output an html or xml file from your application which could be opened with a web browser. For html you should be able to use the align or even float attributes or text-align in css to accomplish this.
I hope this helps.
If you want to have multiple columns of static text in Crystal Reports, then you'd just have to get creative with multiple text boxes, i.e. create 2 text boxes side-by-side and add text to each one until it looks right.
If you want to have 2 columns of data, here's how:
Keep it simple and start with a blank report.
Add your fields of interest to the details section. Resize them so that they only use the first 4 inches of space.
Go into your Section Expert->Details and turn on the Format with Multiple Columns option.
A new tab will appear called Layout. For this example, let's set the Width to 4 inches and leave the Gaps at 0.
Preview your report. If you have enough data in your dataset, it will automatically flood over to the right side of your screen.
It'll take a few minutes of fidgeting with the measurements to get everything looking the way you want. You can even have more than 2 columns if you set the Detail Width small enough.
Also, there is also an option in the Layout menu called "Format Groups with multiple column". It's hard to describe in text, but play with this if you have any grouping levels.
Looking for a way to center a report within the .NET Crystal Reports viewer control when the containing form is maximized.
I thought it centers the report by default? I put the crv onto a form and set the dock to fill. In fact, I don't know how to get it to not center the report.
On the DOCK property of the viewer control, set it to FILL.
Set the ReportViewer control DOCK property to FILL and set the Maximized property of the form programmatically after calling the Show method. If it is set in the design time it's not working. See below my sample code.
Me.rptViewer.Zoom(100)
Me.rptViewer.Show()
Me.Show()
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
