Changing the logo on an SSRS report

Each SSRS report template contains a logo image in the upper right corner. If you want to replace that logo with one of your choosing, ensure that it adheres to these rules:

  • The format must be bitmap (.bmp).
  • The size must be 2.00 inches wide by 0.65 inches high to preserve proper report formatting.
  • If you are changing the logo for all reports, the file must be named SLHeaderLogo.bmp.
  • The file must be placed on the application (utility) server (wherever TaskMan is installed), in a configuration folder inside the ..\Report\Reports directory.

To change the logo on SSRS reports, you must be logged in as an administrative user in an on-premises environment.

  1. On the application server (or wherever your Mongoose-based application is installed), browse to: ..\ProgramFiles(x86)\Infor\Mongoose-based application\Report\Reports
  2. In the Reports folder, create a new folder and give it the same name as the Mongoose-based application configuration name you are signed in to.
    If you have more than one configuration and you need to use a different logo for each configuration, you should create a separate folder for each configuration. If you are a single site and have only one configuration when logging in, then create only one new folder.
  3. Replace the original SLHeaderLogo.bmp file in the Reports folder with your own logo image file, following the previously stated guidelines for format, size, and name.
  4. Save the new graphics file to the appropriate configuration folder.
  5. On the database server (or wherever SSRS is installed), select Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 > Configuration Tools > Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
  6. Click Connect and then, in the left panel, click Report Manager URL.
  7. In the center panel, click the hyperlink to access SSRS Report Manager.
    The link should be similar to this: http://ServerName:80/Reports

    A new Internet Explorer browser titled Report Manager opens.

    Note: You must use Internet Explorer to work with SSRS Report Manager. Other browsers do not provide all of the necessary functionality.
  8. Click the Reports folder for your Mongoose-based application.
  9. Create a new folder inside the Reports folder. Again, give the new folder the same name as your configuration name.
    Make a new folder for each configuration that needs a different logo.
  10. Click the new folder and once inside that folder, click Upload File. Browse to the new logo file that you created in Step 3.
    If you have done this more than once, make sure to select the Overwrite item if it exists option.
  11. If you have multiple configurations with different logos, repeat Steps 9 and 10 for each configuration folder.
  12. Click OK.
    This uploads the new graphics file to the SSRS report server. You should not have to restart the TaskMan server or the SSRS server for this to take effect. Subsequently, when you generate reports for the selected configuration, the new logo displays.
