Server Properties (General Page)

Use this page to view or modify the title used in Report Manager, enable or disable My Reports, select a role definition for My Reports security, and enable or disable the client print control.

To open this page, start SQL Server Management Studio, connect to a report server instance, right-click the report server name, and then select Properties.

The server mode determines which server properties you can set. If you are managing a report server that is configured for SharePoint integrated mode, you cannot enable My Reports or set the application title for Report Manager. For more information about which management tasks are supported for each server mode, see Features Supported by Reporting Services in SharePoint Integrated Mode.
