How to automate report delivery in SSRS

I spotted this good youtube link on this topic which helped me:

Basically the steps (SQL server 2012) are:

Have the Web SSRS folder (in Internet Explorer browser) containing the report (or report link) showing, Hover mouse over the report, this mouse hover action then highlights the report in yellow outline border and offers a dropdown on the righthand side, click on the down arrow to open the dropdown and get list of options .. One option is "manage", choose this option.

Down the left hand side of screen are offered :

Properties

Parameters

Subscriptions

Processing Options

Cache Refresh Options

Report History

Security

Choose the "Subscriptions" option here.

You can then Edit existing subscriptions.. or add a New Subscription .. e.g. as per this screen print

When you browse to the report in your reporting services site you should see a tab for Subscriptions. That's where you'd specify the recipients and delivery methods for automated delivery.

Here's a page that describes the process.
