Need to hide, disable or alter the HOME link in SSRS 2008.
I have an sharepoint page setup that links to our most used reports. When users go from this page, to the report, they see the HOME link and they expect that it will return them back to the the intranet page. This server is not running in integrated mode, so I cannot pass use Sharepoint to serve the reports directly. Is there any way to hide, disable, change the target of, etc the HOME link?

Hi Jeremiah,If I understand correctly, you redirect the user to a folder under reoprt manager, and you won't the user go back to the home page by click the "Home" hypelink.By default, there has two"Home" link in the Report Manager. One is in the banner on the right-top, and the other one is on the left-top under text "SQL Server Reporting Services ". The first one uses the CSS class "msrs-banner". The second one uses the CSS class "msrs-linkpanel". So, we can use the CSS style to hide these navigation to disable the user go to the home page.1.Please open the Report Manager folder. By default, for Reporting Services 2005, the folder is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\ReportManager. For 2008, the folder is C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportManager2.Open the sub folder "Styles"3.Open the file "ReportingServices.css" using Text Editor such as Notepad4.Change the "msrs-banner" and "msrs-linkpanel" to be the following:.msrs-linkpanel{color: Black;font-size: x-small;font-family: Verdana, Sans-Serif;/*Add the following code*/display:none;}.msrs-banner { font-family: Verdana, serif; color: #3366CC; background-color: #FDFDFE; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana;font-weight: normal;padding: 2px;/*Add the following code*/ display: none;}5.Save the file.Now, if redirecting the user to a folder, the user won't be able to go back to the home page.If there is anything unclear, please feel free to ask.Thanks,Jin ChenJin Chen - MSFT

Hi Jin Chen, I tried to do the edit to ReportingServices.css File, but top nav is still showing up. So, saw following code with msrs-topBreadcrumb around the top nav. <table class="msrs-topBreadcrumb" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <span> <div> <a href="/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx?ViewMode=List">Home</a> &gt; <a href="/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx?ItemPath=%2fFinance&amp;ViewMode=List">Finance</a> </div> </span> </td> <td align="right"> <span> <a href="/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx?ViewMode=List">Home</a>&nbsp;| <a href="/Reports/Pages/Subscriptions.aspx?ViewMode=List">My&nbsp;Subscriptions</a>&nbsp;| <a href="/Reports/Pages/Settings.aspx?ViewMode=List">Site&nbsp;Settings</a>&nbsp;| <a href="http://reports/Reports/en/help/f1_rsc_webui_standalone_0um1.htm" target="MicrosoftReportingServicesHelp">Help</a> </span> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> So, i inserted display:none on the top navigation. Its still showing Top-Navigation with Home->Subfolder->Subfolder. on Internet Explorer 8.0, where as its not showing top navigation on Chrome 21.0 Is there any work around ? Thanks, Raghu

I have not tested this in Chrome. I only have IE 8 installed on this workstation. By setting all of the attributes of table.msrs-topBreadcrumb as follows, the header will not display. table.msrs-topBreadcrumb { display: none; } table.msrs-topBreadcrumb a { display: none; } table.msrs-topBreadcrumb a:hover { display: none; } table.msrs-topBreadcrumb td { display: none; }

I had a similar problem. I solved it by changing the url to the report. If the link to the report points to Report.aspx with the ItemPath= parameter then the breadcrumb and Home links show. Solved by pointing to ReportViewer.aspx followed by the report's file path. There are a bunch of other parameters you can add also. http://larrysteinle.wordpress.com/2011/05/09/reporting-services-url-access/
