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.

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 have used Microsoft SSRS extensively with the Report Manager.
Today I have a unique requirement:
I need to deploy the header and footer of a report as Report Part. (I am completely new to report parts though)
After building the report in SSRS 2016 Report Designer, I go to the tab Reports, and choose Publish Report Parts.
In the Publish Report Parts tab, I see Select items to Publish.
In this window, I do NOT see the report header or footer. I see only the parameters used in the report.
When I use the SSRS Report Builder to Publish Report Parts, I see parameters and datasets (this time), but still not the header or footer.
Any idea on how to publish the header and footer alone as Report Part ?
I have created a dashboard with aggregated numbers.For raw data I want to use an image with embedded URL to an SSRS report. My tableau dashboard has 8-9 filters. I want that when a filter is selected in the dashboard, same filters should apply to the SSRS report.I am able to open the report but unable to retain the filters.
SSRS - In Report Viewer we allow users to output to PDF and Excel. However, when they drill down to a linked report then hit the blue back button to get to the parent report, they are then able to export to all of the standard SSRS export options; XML, CSV, MHTML, TIFF, etc.
In SQL Profiler I see the queries from for both reports, but when I hit the back button I don’t see anything, so I’m assuming everything is handled in report viewer. Any ideas?
