Configure Datasource for subscriptions in SSRS
Description of Issue
Need Datasource configured for Subscriptions in SSRS
Context
- SSRS Reports
- Munis All Versions
- Tyler, SaaS Hosted Clients
Cause
Reports using default Datasource doesn't allow creation of Subscriptions
Resolution
SSRS subscriptions run un-attended on the Server, so the Datasource of the report should have credentials of a generic reporting account stored. If one such account does not exist, please see the following article to first create a generic account:

- Please paste the credentials of generic reporting account.
- Click Create
