Where do I find and set the report name for an .rdl file for SSRS?
Where do I find and set the report name for an .rdl file for SSRS? I think I should describe this question in detail. I am not talking about the file name of the .rdl file. The Database Manager who I have tasked with testing my first go with an SSRS report has emailed me:
"Would you please specify a report name (not DefaultReport) and the connection string that you are using? We will have to connect the deployed report to a data connection. Once deployed, we will send you the URL."
Maybe he means that I should name the file something other than DefaultReport.dll, or maybe there is a field somewhere that I can somehow set. Is that the case/ I opened up the file in XML format and found at the start of the file an XML tag for <Report> and so I added a field for "Name=..." there, but when I tried to display the file in "Design" mode, the visualizer threw an error and complained that "Name" was not a viable element for the "Report" item.
Please advise.

Unfortunately it's nothing to do with SQL Doc. You may find this SSRS tutorial helpful. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/create-a-basic-table-report-ssrs-tutorial?view=sql-server-2017
