Snapshot Report

Hello

We use a CRM database for our asset inventory. I have recently designed a pie-chart report using Report Builder 2008 R2 and uploaded it into our CRM database. The pie-chart ideally runs the query on all active assets and displays a result. Unfortunately because of the query and number of assets (approx 40,000) the time taken to generate the report is long (approximately 3-4 minutes). So if I upload it on to the dashboard, the report takes sometime to generate.

I wanted to know if there is a way this report can be scheduled to generate at some random point during the day in the background, and then maybe a snapshot of this report can be produced and uploaded onto the dashboard.

I am not very familiar with programming so will need step by step instructions if possible. Please let me know if this is possible.

We are using Microsoft Dynamic CRM 2011

    Check these

    technet.microsoft.com/.../ms153675.aspx  -- Check if you can use the URL in an IFrame in the dashboard.

    I think I posted this too early. In CRM there is an option to run scheduled reports. So I set the report (Pie-Chart) to run every hour. This basically creates a snapshot and displays the report on Dashboard

    Thank you for helping me.
