Subscriptions Page (Report Manager)
Applies To: SQL Server 2016
Use the Subscriptions page to list all of the subscriptions for the current report or shared data source. If you have sufficient permission (as conveyed by the "Manage all subscriptions" task), you can view the subscriptions of all users. Otherwise, this page shows only the subscriptions that you own.
Note
Other pages also contain subscription information. For more information, see My Subscriptions Page (Report Manager) to access all your subscriptions in one place or the New Subscription or Edit Subscription Page (Report Manager) to create or edit a subscription.
Some options are visible only if there are existing subscriptions to work with. If no subscriptions are defined and you are accessing this page from a report, the New Subscription and New Data-Driven Subscription are the only options on the page.
Before you can create a new subscription, you must verify that the report data source uses stored credentials. Use the Data Sources properties page to store credentials. For more information, see Data Sources Properties Page (Report Manager).
Note
This feature is not available in every edition of SQL Server. For a list of features that are supported by the editions of SQL Server, see Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2016.

Shows the name of the user who created the subscription.Last Run
Shows the last time that the subscription was processed.Status
Shows the status of the subscription. Usually, the status value is either New or the date and time at which the subscription last ran.A status value of "Bad Data" occurs when the subscription includes a pointer to encrypted values that are no longer valid (that is, to the stored credentials used to run the report). Existing encrypted values become unusable when the symmetric keys used to encrypt and decrypt data are recreated on the report server.
A subscription cannot be processed if it has been deactivated. To update the subscription and make it operational, open and then save the subscription.
