Custom Report Item

Hello.
I need to write a CRI which will update a attribute in the RDL file.
Can anyone point me in the right direction.
This is my view I
will have a textbox and a button on the CRI.
While building a report through BI , the report author adds CRI.
enter a value in the text box and click ok.
Then the text in the textbox needs to be added to the RDL file.
Thanks!!
RadhikaHello,

Custom Grouping

Can someone please point me in the direction of how to create a custom grouping for an attribute? I have an 'age' attribute of an item that tracks how old it is. Let's assume this age is always between 1 and 30 days. Regardless of the distribution of the ages, I'd like to have specific ranges defined according to our business' tracking rules: 1 - 3 days, 4 - 10 days, 11 - 20 days and 21 - 30 days.

The DiscretizationMethods available will not produce these types of grouping ranges for me. What am I missing?

Thanks!

You might have to create a two level hierarchy in the age dimension with your custom groups as the first level.

Custom Assembly

Having problems with the <CustomAssemblies> attribute in my config files. It
doesn't exist!?!. I have a couple books for examples, Enterprise and Dev
versions running here onsite. I cannot find this element in the 2 defined
configs that are supposed to have this element. Since they don't seem to
exist, am I supposed to add it? and Where in the config files?. Any ideas
or a point in the right direction. Even the help files say the config files
are supposed to have this element, and to remove the comment. but it doesn't
seem to exist. Help:)
Frustrated Reporter:)Hi Clint,
I've been through rather step learning curve with Custom Assemblies over the
last week and although I'm definately not a guru, I hope to be able to
return some advice in this area - I hope !
OK, I expect the 2 config files are the Report Designer and the RS config
files yes ?
In order to make custom assemblies work, it depends on what they do - this
governs what code security policy directives you need to implment into youe
RS policy config file.
RS will "trust" your custom assemblies to a point (simply static expressions
require no special privelidges) . . . . if however you try and access
protected resources outside your custom assemblies (eg. call a web Service,
get environment vars, read files etc) you'll need to add specific details
and evidence info. into the RS Policy Server PemissionSet and Code group
sections
I can give specific help on these issues if you need more direction.
If you have corrupted (or badly formatted XML in your config files, you may
need to recover from backup (of in worse case just re-install RS)
regards,
