Export & Print Reports Directly (without previewing)

Remember Export File & Action: DataLink Viewer 2011 remembers the last export format, folder, and file name for each report. It also remembers the desired after-export action (open file, open folder, ask).

Inspect/document Report Expressions/Fields: load all expressions (formulas, SQL expressions, running totals, selection formulas, conditional formatting) and fields found within selected reports (and their subreports) into a grid for easy searching, grouping, and review. See demo image.
  

Dynamic & Cascading Parameters (advanced alternative)  
DataLink Viewer can detect the presence of a prompt report designed as a data source for a specific parameter and link to that report in a dialog requesting the user to select one or multiple values.  If the prompt report itself detects 2nd-level prompt reports for its own parameters, it links back to that report.  This provides a linked hierarchy of parameters whereby, for example, the pick list for products is restricted by a prior parameter presenting a live list of product types.
