How to: Create, Delete, or Rename a Folder (Management Studio)

To create a folder in the report server folder namespace

  1. In Object Explorer, expand a report server node to view the list of predefined folders (Home, Security, Shared Schedules, and Jobs). All user-defined folders are created in the Home folder.

  2. Right-click the Home folder.

    Or, if folders already exist in the Home folder, expand the Home folder, and then right-click the destination folder.

  3. Click New Folder.

  4. Type a name for the folder. A name must contain at least one alphanumeric character. It can also include spaces and certain symbols, but not the characters ; ? : @ & = + , $ / * < > | " /.

  5. Optionally type a description. In Management Studio, this description is only visible in this page. Users who view this item through Report Manager can see this description in that tool.

  6. To hide a folder in list view, select Hidden in list view.

  7. Click OK.
