Browse for report parts and set a default folder (Report Builder)
Note
Report parts are deprecated for all releases of SQL Server Reporting Services starting with SQL Server Reporting Services 2019 and all releases of Power BI Report Server starting with Power BI Report Server September 2022.
The easiest way to create a Reporting Services paginated report is to add existing report parts, such as tables and charts, to your report from the Report Part Gallery. When you add a report part to your report, you're also adding everything it must have to work. For example, any report part that displays data depends on a dataset, that is, a query and a connection to a data source. After you add the report part to your report, you can modify it as much as you need.
You can set a default folder to publish report parts to the report server or SharePoint site integrated with a report server.
For more information, see Report Parts (Report Builder).
Browse for report parts
On the Insert menu, select Report Parts.
If you aren't already connected, select Connect to a report server, and enter the name.
Note
You must be connected to a report server to browse for report parts.
You can narrow your search by specifying details about the report part. Enter all or part of the name and description in the Search box, or choose Add Criteria and add values for any or all of these fields:
Created by
Date created
Date last modified
Last modified by
Server folder
Type
For example, to find an image, select Add Criteria, and then choose Type. In the list, select the Image box, select Enter, and then select the Search magnifying glass.
Note
For the Created by and Last modified by values, search for the person's user name as the name is represented on the report server.
Set a default folder for report parts
Select Report Builder, and then choose Options.
In the Options dialog, on the Settings tab, type a folder name in the Publish report parts to this folder by default textbox.
Report Builder creates this folder if you have permissions to create folders on the report server and the folder doesn't exist yet.
You don't need to restart Report Builder for this setting to take effect.
