Add Report Server Content Types to a Library (Reporting Services in SharePoint Integrated Mode)

Reporting Services provides predefined content types that are used to manage shared data source (.rsds) files, report models (.smdl), and Report Builder report definition (.rdl) files. Adding a Report Builder Report, Report Model, and Report Data Source content type to a library enables the New command so that you can create new documents of that type.

To add content types to a library, you must be a site administrator or have Full Control level of permission.

The Reporting Services content types and content type management will automatically be enabled in all document libraries for existing site collections created from the following site template types:

• Business Intelligence Center

Sites created after the Reporting Services integration will not have the Reporting Services content types enabled.

Tip

If you have not previously configured content types for a library, first enable management of content types, then enable the Reporting Services content types. See the procedures on enabling content type management in a single document library.
