  • Open and Save a Report

    This topic explains how to open a report and save changes.

    Open a Report

    Click Open Report in the ribbon toolbar’s Report group to open a report.

    Report-Server-End-User-UI04

    Select a category and a report within the category in the Open Report window, and click Open.

    Report-Server-End-User-UI05

    Click the drop-down arrow in the Open button and select Open Revision to open a report’s specific version.

    Select a revision in the Open Revision dialog and click Open.

    Report-Server-End-User-UI07

    Save Changes

    After you make changes to an existing report, you have two options:

    • Save the report.

      Click Save in the ribbon toolbar.

      Report-Server-End-User-UI08

      The report’s local copy is created in the %AppData%\Roaming\DevExpress\ReportDesigner\Drafts folder. You can close the report and finalize the revision later. The report becomes locked; other users cannot edit it until the check in or rollback.

    • Check in the report.

      Click Check In Report in the ribbon toolbar.

      Report-Server-End-User-UI09

      This uploads a new revision and unlocks the report if it was previously locked.

      Click the drop-down arrow in the Check In Report button and select Undo Check Out in the invoked menu to undo all changes made for the current revision.
