Hi,
I want to add more fields in report list. So instead of just showing the
report name and description, I want hyperlink to some other information as
well. Is it possible? if so how can I do that?

Any help would be highly appreciated

Regards,

You can add additonal fields to the table on the report (where you drop the
report fields). Right mouse click on a column and add another column. Then
put some text in the field (like detail ...). I then make it blue and
underlined. The do a right mouse click, properties, advanced properties,
navigation tab and use the jump to URL.

Thanks Bruce!
I think this is not what I wanted to know.
What I want to know is when I have created one report, it goes to the main
reports list. That list contains all the reports. Now on that list I want to
add additional columns so before running the report if users want to see
additional information they can do so. For example besides report name I
want to see who actually approved that report or what is the name of the
department this report belongs to.

The data needs to come from somewhere. If you modify the xml it is being
rendered and any modifications are going to be ignored. I don't think they
would even be accessible by the time the report runs. If you can get the
extra information from a database then you can have an additional dataset
that you get this information from.
