Is there any way to navigate SSRS report data using TAB key in Reporting Manager
Couldn't find the solution

Is it possible to have SSRS's Report Manager display a report name that is not the .RDL file name?
I.E. I have a Report .RDL named "MyReportAboutSomeImportantStuff.RDL" but I want the Report Manager to display this user friendly as "My Report About Some Important Stuff."
Yes, it's possible. After deploying to the reportserver, you can browse to the report through Report Manager and use the "Properties" tab to manually change the displayed name of the report - e.g. inserting the spaces.
If you get sick of doing this by hand (and you will), it's also possible to script this and several other post-deployment operations using rs.exe. See TechNET: Scripting Deployment and Administrative Tasks
I'd like to delete one of my deployed SSRS reports, then recreate it, but I can't. When I click the report's "Manage" ellipsis on the Report Server I get this:
It's weird because the report works fine, both in the Visual Studio preview and after deployment onto the Report Server; I just can't "Manage" the report on the Report Server. How can I delete this report from my Report Server? I have tried deleting the entire folder containing the problematic report, then redeploying all of the reports, datsets, etc. but I still wind up with the same problem with this one report.
My company is using SSRS 2008 for reporting services and there are 100's of different reports in it. After using SSRS 2008 for some charts we decided to to no use SSRS for charting and decided to use an open source javascript library to display charts. The main reason was to have some interactive charts!
I have now done a few charts in this open source library which itself is a asp.net webapp and have deployed it. I am wondering is there a way to add "links" to SSRS 2008 so when they are clicked user is redirected to this charts application. The main reason is to have one single area where employees will go for reports and charts.
I was thinking of creating an empty RDL file and on some 'onload' event just do a redirect but I have been unable to find if these reports fire any events!
Is there any other way to achieve it?
Right-click on the field you want to direct to your charting system, click Text Box Properties... and click Action. You want the Go to URL option, which you can use to enter a URL to redirect to.
Note that you can use expressions here to assist in going to the right chart, for example:
="http://mycharts/regionchart?Id=" & Fields!Region.Value
I was asked this question yesterday and I didn't know the answer. I'm a total ssrs noob so if you could explain it thoroughly that would be helpful.
What is the difference between a click through and a drill through report in ssrs?
Clickthrough Reports
A clickthrough report is a report that displays related data from a report model when you click the interactive data contained within your model-based report. These reports are generated by the report server based on the information contained within the report model. The person who created the model determines which fields are interactive and which fields are returned when a clickthrough report is opened. These field settings cannot be changed in the report authoring tools.
Clickthrough reports are auto generated. However, you can create an alternative customized report to the model for interactive data items that is displayed instead. The custom report is a standard Reporting Services report.
Drillthrough Reports
Drillthrough reports are standard reports that are accessed through a hyperlink on a text box in the original report. Drillthrough reports work with a main report and are the target of a drillthrough action for a report item such as placeholder text or a chart. The main report displays summary information, for example in a matrix or chart. Actions defined in the matrix or chart provide drillthrough links to reports that display greater details based on the aggregate in the main report. Drillthrough reports can be filtered by parameters, but they do not have to be. Drillthrough reports differ from subreports in that the report does not display within the original report, but opens separately. They differ from clickthrough reports in that they are not auto generated from the data source, but are instead custom reports that are saved on the report server. They differ from drilldown reports in that they retrieve the report data only for the specified parameters or for the dataset query.
How can I publish/deploy the SSRS Reports that I have build (using BIDS and Report Builder) over the website from where the user could just see the reports information such name & reports location and could head over to the specific report, click the search parameters (if any), click the "View Report" button and the report generates
Thanks
If this is for internal facing users, you can just use the functionality of the Report Manager website.
You can control user privileges with roles; the default Browser role will allow users to view items with a low level of access.
If you want to integrate SSRS reports into an external website, you can use the ReportViewer control to connect to a Report Server and render reports.
To get the names and locations of reports on a particular Report Server, you can access the Report Server Web Service, and call web methods like ListChildren to get an idea of objects in the Report Server.
