Tip 3: How to Customize the Display of Power View Reports
Power View reports are saved as .rdlx files in a standard SharePoint
document library or PowerPivot Gallery. The most common way to
view a report is to simply click the report name hyperlink in the Document library. (In the case of using the Gallery view in a PowerPivot
Gallery, the equivalent action is to click the report thumbnail image.)
The hyperlink opens the Power View report by passing arguments
to a built-in SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) web page named
AdHocReportDesigner.aspx.
In some cases, you might want to display the rendered report on a
specific SharePoint web page or a PerformancePoint dashboard page.
However, unlike standard SSRS (.rdl) reports, there isn’t a specific
Web Part available to display Power View (.rdlx) reports. This means
you need to use either the generic Page Viewer or the Silverlight Web
Part to wrap around the built-in SSRS web page.
