Some Important Features and Noteworthy Improvements for ReportServer RS3.0.8

Exporting Parameters

With ReportServer 3.0.8, report parameters can be exported together with the dynamic list reports. For this purpose, a new report property has been introduced: "output_parameters" ( true / false ). By setting this report property to "true", the parameters will be automatically included in the Excel Export as shown in the following example:

For HTML and PDF export, this must be further configured in etc/dynamiclists/htmlexport.cf and pdfexport.cf, respectively, by using the new variable ${parameterMapSimple}. As an example, refer to the following screenshots:
