Hello! I have access to SSMS and to Visual Studio and I have a basic understanding of how to create reports. What I want to do is add an additional parameter to a standard report -- I don't want to mess with the standard report, so I'd like to create a copy, edit it and save it as a custom report. What I can't figure out is how to get at the existing standard report in Visual Studio to make a copy -- do we have access to the standard reports? I see a folder for them, but it is empty.
Thanks!Anne
Hi Anne,With each version's installation files, we include .RDL files for all standard SSRS reports along with some samples and tools to aid you in customization. As a hosted member, you don't generally get to see those files. You can download the files for the latest 15.2 from the 'Installation and Upgrade Files' tab on this page:https://www.tessituranetwork.com/Support/Documentation/Tessitura-v15_1
Or, here's a link to a .zip file of just the report files to get you started (edited to provide correct link):

I downloaded the files and I can access the folder via SSDT, but I can't see any of the files when I try to open them. They are there in Windows Explorer, but when I go to open a project/solution, the only file type options are:
It isn't recognizing any of the .pbl files, which is what I think I need to get at the standard report I'm looking for. I watched a webinar from 2020 on custom reports yesterday, so I'm not sure what I'm missing here.
If it's a .pbl then that's been built in Infomaker and won't be available via SSRS.
Anne, I am SO sorry. In my haste, I grabbed a link to the InfoMaker sample library, not the SSRS standard report collection.Can you please try this one instead? It should have a set of subfolders that match the standard report folders. Each one then has a set of .rdl files for SSRS setup. tessituranetwork.box.com/.../f2pyr48tbydgghq5jydn7xn3tx163ccv
Meanwhile, Brian Pedaci is counting down the days until all .pbl libraries go away for good.
Oh you have NO idea
Aren't we all! I'm mid moving our custom ones over at the moment!
No worries! I'm just glad it isn't that I'm missing something completely obvious (well, I guess I was missing that the files were the wrong format. )
