Creating sub folders in VS.NET 2005 for reports

Hi,
I am wondering if anyone has done this...I can't find it in either of
the book I bought.
I have created som dashboards that each have numerous drills in them to
other reports. All these reports are currently living in on
folder...What I would like to do is to create a subfolder in designer
and deploy the detailed reports into a separate folder like 'Detailed
Reports' so that when the user logs into the report he/she just sees
the dashboards and does not see the rather long list of detailed
reports.
I have tried all the usual things but can't see how to do this...I must
be missing something simple...I am sure..

www.peternolan.comHi Peter,
In VS Designer when you check the properties for your report project,
under the deployment section you will find the TargetFolder property.
You can specify the subfolder path here eg. folder/subfolder. Do this
before you deploy your detailed reports.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Ramya

the way I see this is that each report project in vs.net must go to one
folder on the target report server...correct?
Therefore I would need a project for my dashboards and another project
for my detailed reports....
I should be able to just split prodjects like that correct?
(I was looking for how i created subfolders inside the one project but
it seems like it will not do this...)
Thanks

www.peternolan.com.|||Hi Ramya/Others,
I tried new projects and pointing reports across to the new project but
they are not available in 'jump to report' list and I would need to
point them to a URL...so I also tried hiding the detailed reports in
the folder, and this pretty much gives the effect I want....the
reports are hidden unless the user click detail but they run when
drilled into....so that when the user open the folder there only looks
like there are the dashboard reports there and the folder is not
cluttered.
