Designing a simulated portal environment

You can create a Report Services (RS) dashboard with the look and feel of a portal. To do this, add several Grid/Graph objects to the RS dashboard. Each one will display a grid or graph report. Then add the following functionality to each Grid/Graph:

• Add a title bar to each Grid/Graph. Be sure to enable the Minimize/Maximize feature on the title bar. Users can click a button to minimize any "portlet window" to use their screen space efficiently and to focus more easily on pertinent reports.

• Connect one Grid/Graph to a related Grid/Graph. This means that when the user changes the data displayed within one of the RS dashboard reports, the connected report automatically updates to coordinate its display of the related information.
