  Hello There,

  I created a shared data source over SSRS report server web-portal;

  I am wandering, if it can be used /accessed by report-designer while building a report? I got this concern, because, as I tried to find a way out to access a shared data source by

  right click on shared data source > add > existing item > file location and I didn't find a a server option to connect to report server.

  what is the scope of the shared data source being created in report-designer and published to report-server?

  If a shared data-source that is created over report-designer, is published over report-server, such shared-data-source could only be accessed by report-builder tool directly. Am I Right?

  would anyone please help me analyze /conclude on my understanding?

  Thank you for giving your valuable time!

  Are you in SSRS or in ReportBuilder?

  As far as I know, they should show if you're in SSRS. I haven't used ReportBuilder in so long I honestly don't remember anymore how that one works.
