Adding folders under the solution

In RS, can one add a folder under the Reports folder? I don't see where I can do this. We work with many different state's and we would like to organize reports by state.

Thanks for the information.

hi,

Yes, you can. You can do it on the Report Server website (eg: http://reporservername/reports) clicking on the new folder. Then you can set up explicit security on it, if you do not want to have the inherited.

Also you can set up in the VS2005 SSRS project the destination folder in the project properties. It used when you deploy reports in a project. If the folder does not exist, it will create it and inherits the permission from the parent.

What I guess I was hoping to be able to do is to right click in the solution and Add a folder, like I can in a web project. We also use Source Safe and would like a similar directory structure there too. We would like to create one solution with the reports, however each report might vary because of different state requirements. From there, we would like a directory structure of Reports/StateName/thisreport.rdl.

Each state then get a copy of their own reports when the program as a whole is delivered to them. They have no need to see other state reports.

We are trying not to create a new Solution for each state because there are reports that are generic and can be created just once.

You can create your folder structure in a solution. Each folder must have its own project below the solution.

eg.> I'd like a folder structure like this:

\

--US

|

-CA

-WA

Then I create an SSRS solution, then I add 3 projects. 1st project property page set the TargetReportFolder to /US, 2nd /US/CA, 3rd /US/WA.... etc.

I hope it helps.

|||I'm also trying to create a folder structure inside the report project itself, to no avail. I think what guyinkalamazoo3 was really going for is the ability to create folders inside the single report project to keep things organized, without having to add a separate report project for each different state, i.e.:

ReportProject
-Reports (Root directory)
--California (Subdirectory)
--Washington (Subdirectory)

It seems odd that you can add folders to organize your project with any other project type, but you can't organize your reports this way. Was this missed in development of SSRS, or is it just another "feature"?
