How can I use a report snapshot in a dashboard - reporting-services

I have a Dynamics 2011 Dashboard with a link to and SSRS report via an iFrame. It works well, but the report I am viewing is slow to refresh. I'd like to schedule the report and have the dashboard automatically point to the latest snapshot.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance

If you want to have control over when the report is refreshed - like 3am in the morning - you should use a snapshot. You need to assign default parameters and then set the execution settings for the report in SSRS report manager.
If having the report re-run throughout the day is acceptable, you can use the caching option, also in the execution settings in SSRS report manager. Once the cache has expired for your report, the next user that runs it will have to wait.

How can I HIDE SSRS subreports and drill through reports in the SSRS browser

I am working in Visual Studio 2015 and when I deploy an SSRS drill through report or subreport I have to deploy both the main report and these reports respectfully from my local box to the REPORTING SERVER. The problem is that both reports are displayed in the browser when a user accesses the reporting server via their browser. Is there a way to HIDE the drill through or subreport from the browser so that a user cannot see it in the browser but it still executes from the main report?
Any help/direction would be appreciated. In the PIC below I need to HIDE the Cycle Time By Adjuster Detail report in the browser so that the user does not choose it.
Each report in your report server should have Security settings that can be adjusted per user. I believe I'm using an older version of report server, but the concept is the same. You simply need to adjust the permissions of the user you don't want to see the reports.
Right-clicking the report should look a little something like this:
This version has a Security option, yours may just say Manage and you'll have to navigate to the security tab. I haven't personally tested this, but you should be able to remove the Browser permission from the specified user to hide the report in the report server.
Use the Hide This Item checkbox to hide the report.
This will hide the selected report from the regular view. The user could still find it, though, by going to the settings and checking the Show Hidden Items box.

SSRS Report automatic page navigation/looping

I have created a SSRS report that has 7 pages that I would like to have loop from beginning to end and then refresh every few minutes. Is this possible? I have been searching, but cannot find anything on how to do it. I have SQL Server 2008.
Thank you!
I would set the AutoRefresh property on the Report object, using BIDS/Visual Studio. This is in seconds so a value of 120 = 2 minutes.
In SQL Server Reporting Services, we can set the report to refresh automatically based on a specific time interval. However, it is not supported to set the report to jump to the next page in a loop at the same time. I recommend you submit your suggestion to the Microsoft Connect at http://connect.microsoft.com/.

SSRS 2008 - Refreshing Cached Shared Datasets

I have a few shared datasets on which I have enabled caching on in Report Manager (SSRS 2008 R2). They are used to populate parameter values, and need to be refreshed on the first of each month. I am attempting to create a Cache Refresh Plan through the Shared Dataset > Manage > Cache Refresh Options. After creating the refresh plan, clicking OK, and clicking OK once again under 'Refresh the cache according to the following schedule:,' I am prompted with the following error message:
An attempt has been made to use an event type 'RefreshCache' that is not registered with this report server for external use. (rsUnknownEventType)'"
Is anyone familiar with this error and of a way to bypass it? Although I could simply allow the cache to expire on the 1st of each month, I do not want to burden the end-user with wait times during which a new cache is being built on the first run on the first of each month.
I should also mention that I am not assigned the System Administrator role on the Report Manager. I'm just a lowly Content Manager.

Is there any possibility to Deploy Single Report in SSRS

I'm having problem with SSRS Report Deployment. I've 2 Hundreds of Reports in my SSRS Report Solution. When, I deploy the Report it deploy all reports which is very time consuming.
Now, what I'm looking for is, I want to re-deploy only the Report I've changed recently.
In BIDS, I didn't found anything to support the feature I'm looking for.
So, If there is any possibility to Deploy a Single Report?
You can just deploy a single report by right clicking on the report itself and selecting Deploy:
One thing to note is that it will also try to deploy any Shared Data Source the report references.
However, if the project level property OverwriteDataSources is set to False this won't affect any Data Source that was deployed previously.

SSRS 2005 - Email Subscriptions sending out old report version

I have a problem with Sql Server 2005 Reporting Server where people are receiving old versions of a report whenever the report is sent through a subscription.
I've added a date to the footer of the report, build and deployed it but subscribers still receive an older report.
I am not able to find any known issue or someone with a similar problem and could use some guidance on what to do.
Check Properties -> Execution. There are options there to have the report run based on a cached copy or from a snapshot. If these options are selected, the report will be run from older data in order to increase performance. Disable these to get the latest data.
