Export Template

Is it true that we cannot create a template for a Report Server project?
--
Harry RiddleIt is false, we can create a template, it works like this, we can create a
standard template and copied on a specific directory, so whenever you go for
creating reports this can be selected, so that all your reports will be of
same look and feel.

The export template option is grayed out when you select a business
intelligence project from which to create your template.

This is by design.
The export template function only works for the .NET project, not for the
Report Project now.
Please send your feedback to the product team:

Currently, we did not have any best practice on this.

have created two shared network locations for the data sources and a report.
I have instructed them to import both into their newly created project.
Another item in the very long list of short-sighted ideas from Microsoft.
IOW, vision that becomes near-sighted past the end of their nose.

>|||Hi Harry,
Yes, Visual Studio has used somewhat different model for management project
templates and also some other management and extension features. Also, as
Wei has suggested, you're welcome to send your request and comment about
the reusable template for SQL Server database/report projects to our
feedback center.
Here are some other reference on VS 2005 template management:

quite a track record with removing capabilities with each successive version
like losing edit and continue with VB.Net 1.0, losing multi-value parameter
capabilities in deployed reports with SQL Server 2005 SP1 and now this which
was available in VS.Net 2003. Will they ever learn? Each previous removal
has returned. Do you think that templated reports are not valuable to a
corporation's standard look and feel? Have the people running the show never
been in a corporate environment? Of course not. Microsoft policy has
required them to leave their acquired knowledge at the door. Open source is
looking better and better...

I can understand your concern here and I agree that sometimes the
breakchange in sequential product versions may add the pain to users' work.
Actually, for most of the changes, they're also added according to user
community's feedback and the dev team is continously collecting feedback
from customers and arrange them depend on the vote rate and priority.
Anyway, I'm sorry that the drawback here make your poor experience,
however, I would still recommend you submit your feedback and comments so
that the dev team can hear more about this:
