quick bite on ssrs rendering format control

Guys, you can very well control the rendering formats of the report to your clients.

Yes. You can decide what is the export data format of your client.
Go to your reportserver installed path of your server

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting Services\ReportServer\rsreportserver.config"

Open it and search for this keys



Remove the rendering formats key which you want to hide.
You can play and control the rendering limits whenever you give the reports to your clients.

Happy Reporting!!
