We recently decided to start using the Web Viewer rather than the Report Viewer, so we would not have to re-install Report Viewer for new versions, new PCs, etc. I set up folders on our server for each business unit, and a folder for each year and each month. My thought was that if I ran the report for August and put the link in the 201908Aug folder, then I could run the report for September and put it in the 201909Sep, end users would be able to see the whole years worth of each report. I discovered that the URL that I put in the August folder is the same as the URL that is in the September folder, so when the user looks in the August folder they see September data. I was trying to keep this simple so that it was easy for the accounting clerk to generate all 25 monthly reports without having to do a lot of changing of folders, etc.
We currently have this set up for Report Viewer, in six groups. When it is time to run month-end reports, he goes into each group, changes the month, and runs the group.
What needs to be changed when running a report for the Web Viewer so that it is a unique URL, so a 'view-only' user can look at one month, then go back and look at another month, without any reports having to be rerun?.
Never mind. I think I've got this figured out.
