Is there a way to prevent users from turning off Routing?
I’m not sure if there is a method call you could create a bpm on, but if there is you could try and read the report style that is being printed and if it is the report style you are looking for you could set the Routing to true.
However, every report would then trigger this bpm. Not sure if that is the best idea.
Maybe there is a way to customize the print form for that report and make it so that the checkbox is read only, that way it stays checked? This might be more plausible.
As for a BPM applying to everything printed, you could check the style of the report being printed, and if it has break routing and it is enabled, then force routing. Could even have this apply to specific reports/styles.

For sure, that is what I was getting at. I don’t like the idea of throwing BPMs on that process though, but I think it would work.
I wonder if the enable routing checkbox on the print form would fall under a Field Security setting.
Dang, now that is an idea!
@ThermalStructures is this a report specific request or do you want this to apply to all report styles that have routing?
Calvin could be on to something where you can set the field security for the routing checkbox to be read only.
Sorry, I don’t know of any trivial way of forcing it. I’ve been out of this area for years though.
Knowing if this is for a specific report would be good. That question was already asked. That would let us know if we needed a very specific fix or a very general fix. Each would probably lead to a differ solution.
Yes, for one specific report, actually the Pack Slip
Enable tracing (full data), submit a packer for printing with routing enabled, turn of tracing.
Look in the trace log for “SSRSEnableRouting” if that shows up anywhere, then you might be able to use a BPM force it to true for that specific report and style.

Maybe something in this topic. (I see a poster has a dataset with SSRSEnableRouting in it 
)
