Why is my SSRS report not appearing in my browser? - reporting-services

I'm trying to view my SSRS report in a browser. According to this MSDN page, I should see a page that looks like this:
When I load that page on the computer hosting my SSRS report, I get no results at all. My browser looks like:
I am able to preview my report in Visual Studio Business Intelligence Development Studio and the report looks exactly like I'd expect. I can also export the report to a PDF file and it looks fine. What could I be doing wrong with regards to viewing my report in a browser.

It looks like you haven't actually deployed the report to your local Report Server.
You say you're just previewing through BIDS, which is rendering it in BIDS, not the Report Server itself.
Right now your local Report Server has nothing to display; either you don't have the specific rights or there are simply no items to display.
You need to deploy either the individual report or the project to the Report Server.

SSRS - Can't Delete or Manage Deployed Report

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.

SSRS Report Viewer Unable to Pass Credentials to Report Server from Hyperlink

We have a 3-rd party (like a portal) hosting our SSRS Report Viewer inside an iFrame. The source of the iFrame is an ASP.NET web form page with the Report Viewer control. We pass the credentials to the Report Viewer from the code behind and everything works fine. Reports render in the viewer and the aspx page is running on an HTTPS site.
The report developer placed a hyperlink on a report that opens an non-HTTP url to the Report Sever that is supposed to download an Excel file. But the Report Server is behind a DMZ (actually running as a Windows Service and not IIS) and prompts users for credentials and only downloads the Excel file when the Report Server credentials (same ones used by the Report Viewer) are entered. This sounds like a double-hop issue.
Anybody trying to browse to the URL manually also get a prompt until they are authenticated because the SSRS is not in our domain.
TL;DR;
Is there anyway to pass the credentials of the Report Server from within a hyperlink inside the Report Viewer?
Functions as designed. Reports Developer did not really understand implementation details and found a work around.

How to show SSRS URL Report in Print Preview Mode?

I am showing report from web (angular application) through SSRS URL. It shows me output like below.
How can i show report default as print preview mode? In PDF its showing correctly but i want same view in browser.
Thanks.!!
I am unaware of any option to do this. You can schedule this report to generate the PDF to a physical location and have your customers access the PDF directly if you want to hide the SSRS interface... but a lot of people like to export tables like this to Excel.
I recommend you educate your customers how to use this interface as it is pretty useful.

Reports are blank when opened from Reports Server

I have created a report project in Visual Studio 2013 and deployed a test report to the local reports server (SSRS 2012).
When I preview the report from visual studio it opens well, but when I try opening it from Report Server URL, I can see the report viewer toolbar but once I click "View Report" it shows "Loading" and then a blank page appears.
I then tried to delete the datasource, datasets and delete any report contents and just keep the title, still a blank page is the only thing that appears
Any idea what could be the problem or things i can try ?
It turned out to be a problem in Chrome browser, trying out Internet Explorer worked fine.

SSRS drill down report not displaying in report viewer

We have an SSRS report (drill down report) built and it works fine through the browser. However when we open the same report through the report viewer (WPF application - report viewer hosted as windows forms host), the drill-down functionality is not visible. The report is shown without the drill down part.
Thanks
Resolved.
The issue was that the report in print layout format does not display the expanders. On changing the report layout to normal, the expanders were seen and worked as expected.
