Does anyone know how to add parameters to the instance name or description automatically? We want our cost center managers to be able to easily tell which period the report is run (older periods sometimes need to be rerun and it sometimes get confusing) instead of them having to go into each report.
I know you can edit the instance name but we have over 50 reports and it would be a pain to have to edit 50 instance names. Is there a way to display the parameters or append to the instance name?

Dan,
Unfortunately this isnt possible with RS. This is one missing feature I often hear complaints about. The most common solution is to use a PDF parsing application but if youre delivering via dashboards thats not going to get you 100% the way there. For one of my clients I actually use SmartNotifications to give a listing of links to PDFs in a directory that have had their name modified by a PDF parser. Not the cleanest solution but its a work around.
