Is there a way to supply query parameters to a SQL Server Reporting Services Report at deployment time rather than at design time

Question

SUMMARY: I have created a SSRS Report. I want to be able to supply parameters for the report at DEPLOYMENT time rather than just design time or runtime.

DETAILS: I want to create ONE report and deploy it multiple times with the only difference being that I want to change one of the query parameters. I do not want to prompt the user for the value.

Can this be done?

Answer 1

If you link the additional reports to the parent report you can supply different parameters. This is easier than deploying multiples of the same exact report(.rdl).

MSDN Linked Reports

Answer 2

Change/modify the 'default' value for a given parameter within the Report Designer and deploy with the change.

You could also create/setup Linked Reports on the report server, assigning a different default value to each Linked Report.
