Options

Name

Specify the title to use for Report Manager. This text appears in the top-left corner of each application page. By default, the title is SQL Server Reporting Services.

Enable each user to have a My Reports folder

Select this option to have the report server automatically create a My Reports folder for each user who logs on to the report server.

Choose the role to apply to user's My Reports folder

Select the role that includes the set of tasks that a user can perform in a My Reports folder. The default value is My Reports Role. This role allows each user to manage his or her My Reports folder by having the equivalent of administration privileges for this folder, including the ability to schedule reports and add, delete, rename, and move folders and reports. Click Configure item-level role definitions to view the tasks that belong to this role.

Select the default settings for report history

Choose a default value for the number of copies of report history to retain. The default value provides an initial setting that establishes report history limits. You can vary these settings at the report level. For more information, see History Properties Page.

If you limit report history later, when the existing report history exceeds the limit you specify, the report server reduces the existing report history to the new limit. The oldest report snapshots are deleted first. If report history is empty or below the limit, new report snapshots are added. When the limit is reached, the oldest snapshot is deleted when a new report snapshot is added.

Select a time-out value for report execution

Specify whether report processing times out after a certain number of seconds. If you choose the default setting, the time-out setting that is specified in the Site Settings page is used for this report.

This value applies to report processing on a report server. It does not affect data processing on the database server that provides the data for your report. The count for report processing begins when the report is selected and ends when the report opens. When you set this value, specify enough time to complete both data processing and report processing.

Enable report execution logging

Select this option to generate execution logs.

Remove log entries older than <number> days

Select this option to remove execution logs after a specified number of days.
