Modify a report designed by someone else

[n/a]

Hi support!

We do not have the server version.
We are having the problem that when a technician wants to modify a report made by another technician, he does not let him save the report and he has to save it with another name.

Is there a way to save the report with its name once modified?

This is the message.

We have looked to see if there is any option indicating that the report is blocked, but we have not found anything.

Thanks a lot!

Hi Patxi,

Usually, this occurs when an accidental change is made to a report after it has been published because any changes automatically trigger the lock (see Working with Reports from the Telerik Report Server).

You can verify whether a report is locked by looking for a padlock icon next to the report name in the reports list.

That said, to unlock the report, the original technician needs to open it and either publish their changes or revert them (if no changes appear, they can try making a small change and reverting).

I hope this helps but if the issue persists we might need to gather additional information about your report server instance. I see that you have opened a personal support ticket regarding the same issue so we can continue our communication there if you like.

Kind Regards,
Momchil
