Assigning file name for a report to deliver via mail - SSRS 2012

Question

Hi,

I need to know if it is possible to assign dinamically the file name for a report to deliver via mail by a data-driven subscription.

It seems that this task is not possible, while with the Windows file share option is possible.

Thanks

Hello Psorca,

   The below link gives a method to change the file name.

   Note : This method updates the SSRS meta data tables. Updating this tables not supported by Microsoft. Please use with extreme caution.

Hi Pscorca,

In Reporting Services, the dynamic file name feature is only supported by the Windows File Share delivery extension natively when creating a subscription. In addition, you can also try the workaround posted by Sorna.

I would suggest you submitting a wish at https://connect.microsoft.com/sql.
