In the History section of a report (in Report Manager), assuming the
report is run from a snapshot and the server is configured to store an
unlimited number, at what point do these appear in the History?

I have several reports that, even though they're run from a snapshot,
they say "There are no items to show in this view. Click Help for more
information about this page. "

I have another report, however, that is configured to create a new
snapshot every hour. I see its snapshot history.

Is snapshot history created only if more than one snapshot has been
created?

Thanks,
Mike

There is a checkbox on the history subtab on the Properties tab of the
report that will create a history snapshot everytime a report snapshot is
created. Make sure that this is checked and you should start seeing history
snapshots created.

You can create history snapshots for any report, even if it is set to live
execution. From this same tab just set up a schedule and a history snapshot
will be created everytime the schedule fires.
