SQL Reporting Service directory listing filenames

  • Hi,

    The Report Manager and Reportserver lists the report filename as a directory listing in the browser. How can I add more descriptive names instead of the filenames, perhaps the report titles in the listing?

  • When viewing the report you wish to add a description of to the listing click on the properties tab. Under the General properties page you may edit the name displayed as well as the description of the report.

    Enjoy!

  • It's also important to note that the "Search" feature on Report Manager searches the names and descriptions of the reports.

    Descriptions are pretty useful.

  • Good point Michael,

    Another thing to keep in mind would be that if you change the name of the report in the report manager and do not change the actual RDL name in your project/solution then when you deploy the next time you'll get a new report.
