Using URL Access Parameters
You can use the following parameters as part of a URL to configure the look and feel of your reports. The most common parameters are listed in this section. Parameters are case-insensitive and begin with the parameter prefix rs: if directed to the report server and rc: if directed to an HTML Viewer. You can also specify parameters that are specific to devices or rendering extensions. For more information about device-specific parameters, see Specifying Device Information Settings in a URL.
