8.3. Interacting with Reports

In many cases, your reports can be much more effective when users can view them electronically. Reporting Services offers a number of options for enabling the user to interact with the reports when viewed electronically. You have already seen several examples of drill-down interactivity. This type of interactivity hides detail information until it is needed by the user.

In this section, you learn additional methods for navigating within reports and even moving between reports. You also see how to link a report to other Internet content. Finally, you look at a way for your report to interact with you by always keeping its data current.

So don't be shy: interact!
