Hello,

I'm seeking advice on a more efficient method to import reports into another instance without using the Report Designer. We have more than 100 different reports, and it's extremely time-consuming to individually open each report in the Report Designer, save it to the server, then move on to the next one, and so on. Although I've managed to export the XML files via a generic inquiry and the UserReportEx table, I'm unsure how to import them back from the Excel file, especially since we don't have database access and doing it via customization is not a suitable way.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Reports can be added into a Customization Project package and published into a new instance:

Hello @darylbowman,

Thank you for suggesting the customization approach. However, we are hesitant about adopting this method due to its complexity and the cumbersome nature of managing customizations. We are looking for a more dynamic solution that allows us to selectively copy specific reports, such as Reports A, Z, Y, and C, without the need to create a new customization for each scenario. Ideally, we're seeking a more flexible approach that would enable us to effortlessly export and import the chosen reports.
