Report improvements
HTML 5 Rendering Engine: A new HTML5 rendering engine that targets modern web 'full' standards mode and modern browsers. The new rendering engine no longer relies on quirks mode used by a few older browsers.
For more information on browser support, see Browser Support for Reporting Services and Power View.
Modern paginated reports: Design beautifully modern paginated reports with new, modern styles for charts, gauges, maps, and other data visualizations.
Tree Map and Sunburst Charts: Enhance your reports with Tree Map and Sunburst charts, great ways to display hierarchical data. For more information, see Tree Map and Sunburst Charts in Reporting Services.
Report embedding: You can now embed mobile and paginated reports in other web pages, and applications by using an iframe, along with URL parameters.
Pin Report Items to a Power BI Dashboard: While viewing a report in the web portal, you can select report items and pin them to a Power BI dashboard. The items you can pin are charts, gauge panels, maps, and images. You can:
- Select the group that contains the dashboard you want to pin to.
- Select the dashboard you want to pin the item to.
- Select how frequently you want the tile updated in the dashboard.
The refresh is managed by Reporting Services subscriptions and after the item is pinned, you can edit the subscription and configure a different refresh schedule.
For more information, see Power BI Report Server Integration (Configuration Manager) and Pin Reporting Services items to Power BI Dashboards.
PowerPoint Rendering and Export: The Microsoft PowerPoint (PPTX) format is a new SQL Server 2016 Reporting Services or later (SSRS) rendering extension. You can export reports in the PPTX format from the usual applications; Report Builder, Report Designer (in SSDT), and the web portal. For the example, the following image shows the export menu from the web portal.
You can also select the PPTX format for subscription output and use Report Server URL access to render and export a report. For example, the following URL command in your browser exports a report from a named instance of the report server.
For more information, see Export a Report Using URL Access.
PDF Replaces ActiveX for Remote Printing: The report viewer toolbar now prints Via PDF instead of ActiveX controls. The new report viewer is supported by most modern browsers, including Microsoft Edge. No more ActiveX controls to download! Depending on the browser you use and the PDF viewing applications and services you've installed, Reporting Services either a print dialog box opens to print your report, or you are prompted to download a .PDF file. As an administrator, you can still disable client-side printing from Management Studio.
For more information, see Enable and Disable Client-Side Printing for Reporting Services.
Subscription Improvements
Feature | Supported server mode |
---|---|
Enable and disable subscriptions. New user interface options to quickly disable and enable subscriptions. The disabled subscriptions maintain their other configuration properties such as schedule and can be easily enabled. For more information, see Disable or Pause Report and Subscription Processing. | Native mode |
Subscription description. When you create a new subscription, you can now include a description of the report as part of the subscription properties. The description is included on the subscription summary page. | SharePoint and Native mode |
Change subscription owner. Enhanced user interface to quickly change the owner of a subscription. Previous versions of Reporting Services allow administrators to change subscription owners using script. Starting with the SQL Server 2016 (13.x) release, you can change subscription owners using the user interface or script. Changing the subscription owner is a common administrative task when users leave or change roles in your organization. | SharePoint and Native mode |
Shared credential for file share subscriptions. Two workflows now exist with Reporting Services file share subscriptions: New in this release, your Reporting Services administrator can configure a single file share account, that can be used for multiple subscriptions. The file share account is configured in the Reporting Services native mode configuration manager Specify a file share account. On the subscription configuration page, users select Use file share account. You configure individual subscriptions with specific credentials for the destination file share. You can also mix the two approaches and have some file share subscriptions use the central file share account while other subscriptions use specific credentials. | Native mode |

I have SQL Server 2005 Express, but I haven't got SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). How do I install it separately? Do I have to download the whole SQL Server setup again, or is there any separate setup for only SSRS?

Check out the SQL Server 2005 Express overview page: there are several versions of SQL Server Express - the basic version doesn't include Reporting Services - you need the SQL Server Express With Advanced Tools version to get Reporting Services.
Here's the download page for SQL Server 2005 Express - if you want Reporting Services, you need to get the 'SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP3'.
Download Report Builder 2.0
Update: this is the SQL Server 2008 Express overview page, from which you can also download the various SQL Server 2008 R2 Express versions. You will need the SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with Advanced Services which includes SSRS 2008.
