Very new at this, figured out how to deploy my reports and view them through the ReportServer. But my question is this:

Lets say I have multiple reports, and instead of listing them all on the initial load of the reports manager, how can I assign certian reports to certian virtual directories? So that only certain reports can be viewed and others cannot on a specific URL pointing to my virtual directory?

I hope this makes sense.
Thanks!

Just add directories with Report Manager and logically move the rdls into them.

Hey thanks for the reply! That makes perfect sense, however I cannot find the new folder to logically move it in my IIS setup.

Where do I move the files and folders?
Thanks!

You do it inside Report Manager.

Awesome! That worked Perfectly.

But I'm still confused about some things (sorry for being such a noob) but Lets say I have a folder in my Reports Manager with reports. When I go to a specific URL page, I only want to see reports in the designated folder, not any other folders.

Thanks for the quick replies, you guys are awesome!

Im not certain what you are asking ???

If you give users the following link:
http://server/reports

Than you will be taken to report manager with ALL reports, including the folders and sub folders you have created.
If you don't want users to see these give them the specific link you want them to see:

http://server/reports/someFolder..

Also play around with the security settings directly on report manager. It works a lot like NT security in that you can assign groups or specific users to be able to run (execute) / view / etc. reports.

Thanks,

Your answer is exactly what I'm looking for, but its not working.

I created a folder inside my report manager called Specifics, when I go to http://server/Reports/
it shows all of them including my SubDir i just made.

When I type http://server/Reports/Specifics it tells me page cannot be displayed.

I'm so confused!

Do this...

Goto http://server/Reports

Then click this folder you made.
Copy and paste that url, that is the url you need to always get to that specific path.
