Preview the report and test the hyperlink. In the previewer and the report viewer, a data or label element with a hyperlink appears as blue underlined text, and an image has a blue border. For a chart, a hyperlink does not have a different appearance, but a cursor shaped like a hand appears when you hover the mouse pointer over a hyperlink.
