title: Reporting Services - deployment and global/shared configuration between reports
body: <p>Is it possible to add global variables that are shared among reports in SQL Server Reporting Services? I know it's possible to add variables for a report but I want the same variables to be used from many different reports.</p>
  
  <p>Also, is it possible to have different configurations for different servers so that when reports are deployed they will use different settings? (like web.config for SSRS reports). The purpose is to have different settings for development, test and production environments. They way it is now, I have to change variables in the report properties before deployment.</p>
  
  <p>(of course its possible to create a table in the database for report settings but I really don't want to mess up vendor databases or add new databases just for adding global report configuration)</p>
