You can create a schedule for sending reports to the cache in the SQL Server Report Server and thereby shorten the time required to retrieve a report if the report is large or accessed frequently. For more information about report caching, see Caching Reports (SSRS).
The example in this procedure uses an availability report that you have already created and saved as a favorite. For more information about creating an availability report, see How to Create an Availability Report. For more information about saving a report as a favorite, see How to Save a Report.
