Add Reporting Services content types to a SharePoint library

Applies to: ✅ SQL Server Reporting Services (2016) ✅ SharePoint ❌ Power BI Report Server

For content related to previous versions of SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), see SQL Server 2014 Reporting Services.

Reporting Services provides predefined SharePoint content types that are used to manage shared data source (.rsds) files, report models (.smdl), and Report Builder report definition (.rdl) files. Add a Report Builder Report, Report Model, and Report Data Source content type to a library to enable the New command so that you can create new documents of that type.

To add content types to a library, you must be a site administrator or have Full Control level of permission.

The Reporting Services content types and content type management are automatically enabled in all document libraries for existing site collections created from the following site template types:

• Business Intelligence Center

Sites created after the Reporting Services integration don't have the Reporting Services content types enabled.
