Add ssrs report description

Question

Anyway I can add a ssrs report description that displays in the report before execution? I Googled and most people said its not possible but there has to be a way to tweak it ri

Answer 1

There is a way to look at Description before you "Deploy" or "Execute" your report. In your report builder/visual studio (whichever tool you're using), you should be able to right click your report and Go to Code to see report description if you search for tag.

  Executive Reporting

If you do not see it, you can simply insert one. Reason to set description here instead of Report Manager is re-deploying your report will not overwrite the description since it is already part of your report. Plus, you get to see it before deploying or executing your report.
