Display Disclaimer message before opening SSRS report

Question

Hello,
I have a requirement to display a disclaimer message before going to the content of a particular report.
The workflow would be:
go to report folder e.g. Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx?ItemPath=%2fMyFolder%2fReports&ViewMode=List
Click on Report x
Display Disclaimer
Press 'ok' on disclaimer
Continue to report
This is SSRS 2012 native.
I had contemplated injecting JavaScript into the report, but this appears virtually impossible to do i a simple manner.
I am stumped as best to how to proceed.
Regards,
MrHH

Hi MrHH,
Per my understanding that you want to display an popup window(disclaimer message) before display the report.
I have tested on my local environment and that we have two method to help you do this.
Method one is simple and more easy to add this action to a special report":
you can create an new report with the information of the disclaimer and add two textbox(Agree,Disagree) perform as the two button, then add "go to report" action for the two buttons, when click "Agree" link to the particular report,
if click on "disagree" will just refresh on this discalimer report.
Note: you need to deploy both the disclaimer report and the particular report to the report server, and when you click on the disclaimer report you will got the display result you want.
Method two:
This method is not that simple, i will give you some sample data to get the popup windows display before you can see the particular report, when you click  the particular report you will get the popup window display with two buttons "Agree"
and "Disagree", when you click the "Agree" you will see the report content, when you click "Disagree" you will link back to the home page of the report manager.
Detail information below for your reference:
 Add some code in the report.aspx file in the path similar to this:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportManager\Pages\Report.aspx
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.ui/1.8.9/jquery-ui.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.ui/1.8.9/themes/start/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#dialog").dialog({
title: "jQuery Dialog Popup",
height: "200",
modal: true ,
buttons: {
"Agree": {
text: "Agree",
id: "my-button-id1",
click: function() {
$(this).dialog('close');
document.getElementById("bg").style.display = "none";
"Disagree": {
text: "Disagree",
id: "my-button-id2",
click: function() {
location.href = '/Reports'
</script>
<div id="bg" style="width:100%; height:100%;z-index:20000;background-color:silver" >
<div id="dialog" style="display: none;z-index:20001">
Please make sure you have read this information and understand clearly before enter the report.
</div>
</div>
Note: this sample code now works for all the report in the report manager, you can improve the code by add url to make it just work on the particular report.
2. Restart the Report Server instance in the Reporting Service Configuration manager and then open the report manager to have a test.
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
