Contents Page (Report Manager)

Use the Contents page to view the contents of the current folder, select items to view, or navigate to other folders. This page opens when you select a folder. It is also the home page for Report Manager.

The Contents page shows the items that you have permission to view. Depending on the permissions you have, you may also be able to move, delete, and add items. You must click Show Details to access the Delete and Move buttons. If you cannot see any items at all, check with your report server administrator. It may be that you have not been assigned to a role that provides access to report server content or operations. For more information, see Tutorial: Setting Permissions in Reporting Services.

Note

If you are using SQL Server Express with Advanced Services, not all features are supported. For more information about feature availability, see Reporting Services in SQL Server Express with Advanced Services.
