Restore Templates

You can replace a Template on the Report Manager server if it is accidentally overwritten. Template files have been stored in your installation directory for just such a situation.

(No one is perfect. Review how to set up an account in Report Builder. This topic outlines the best practice of designating a specific account for report creation that won't allow report creators to overwrite the Templates.)

  1. On the Report Manager server, open a browser and type: http://localhost/reports to open the SQL Server Reporting Services Home page.
  2. Click the Templates folder to open it.
  3. Locate the template that you need to replace and hover over it to display a drop-down.
  4. Click the drop-down to open the menu.
  5. From the menu, click Manage.
  6. On the next screen, in the menu bar, click .
  7. On the next screen, click Browse to locate to the same named report in your installation directory (N-able Technologies > Report Manager > reports > Templates).
  8. Select the Template.
  9. Click Open.
  10. Click OK.

    The Template from your installation directory has now replaced the copy on the Report Manager server.
