Importing, exporting and migrating reports

Here are some reasons why you might want to import, export or migrate reports:

To transfer a report from one server to another
To make reports designed by an individual available to a wider audience
To make reports created by individual users (or for individual business units) available to other users for them to print with different parameter settings, instead of having to design a new report every time they have to present new information.

You can import report files to the report store without validation, although these reports cannot be seen from within Report Manager until they are deployed successfully.
