Modify SSRS report - Kinetic cloud

We have a custom SSRS report we use for our Purchase Orders. I need to modify the Terms and Conditions on our report. I tried looking at help files and can’t get it to work. We are using Kinetic Cloud.

Here are the steps I took:

  • Report style, POForm, Style List
  • Then I selected Copy Report Style, so I do not lose the original just in case
  • Then I downloaded the SSRS report. The file structure of the download was reports\CustomReports\PurchaseOrderForm
  • I opened our file OF_POForm.rdl with Report Builder and just changed the text box to include the extra info and saved the file.
  • Then I zipped the file in the same file structure reports\CustomReports\PurchaseOrderForm

When I tried to upload the SSRS report zip folder, i get this error

I was curious if anyone had this issue.
Thanks!

It looks like you might be doing this through a browser. The functionality does not work in the browser, only the client.

Here is the error I get in classic. I even tried to add an extra reports folder

If you are using the default ssrs config the folder structure should be:

FOLDERNAME\reports\CustomReports\PurchaseOrderForm\POForm.rdl

When uploading you only need to click on FOLDERNAME

That worked; thanks for your help.

No worries! When you have a moment if you can mark it as a solution, that’d be great! :beers:

Sounds like you already fixed the issue… but I was typing this up and figured it may still be worth asking…

Are you uploading the correct file?

Based on your original comments, you downloaded and edited a file called OF_POForm.rdl… but you’re trying to upload a file called POForm.rdl.

The rdl name in Report Style Maint. needs to match the file name in File Explorer.

Example:
Report Style:

File Explorer:

You can name them whatever you want, but Report Style Maint. is going to try to look for whatever you tell it to in the Report Location.

I’m assuming it uploaded POForm, but your edited file is OF_POForm.

Your Report Location, I would assume based on your comments, should end with:
reports\CustomReports\PurchaseOrderForm\ OF_POForm.rdl

Morning - while the smart client report style upload is much easier to use especially as you don’t have to zip files and can upload multiple reports the cloud does work. I normally just save the report from report builder to my documents folder then copy it into the original zip folder which was downloaded so the file structure is all correct. Always make sure the zip folder is just called reports.zip (no numbers if you have more than one zip folder).
