New Folder Page (Report Manager)

Use the New Folder page to create a new folder in the report server folder hierarchy. The folder that you create is a virtual folder that is stored in a report server database. The folder is not created in the file system of your computer.

A folder is created in-place, as a subfolder of the folder that is currently selected. Before creating a folder, you should navigate to the location where you want to create the folder.

After you create a folder, you can modify its name and description through the General properties page of the folder.

To open this page, on the Contents page, click New Folder.

  • Name

  • Description
    Type a description of folder contents. This description appears in the Contents page to users who have permission to access the folder.
