We have a report model that is used by a couple dozen reports. The other day, I added three new database fields that the users want to be able to select for their reports, but I am not sure how to go about adding three new fields to a report model (if this is even the place to do it). I assume I wouldn't add them to every report, that there is some universal way to add new fields for a report model. I am curious if you might be able to help with this, as it is a little out of my knowledge and Google hasn’t been able to show me what I need. We added three new fields that the users want to show up as options in their reports. They are as follows: • [Database1].[dbo].[Field1]• [Database1].[dbo].[Field2]• [Database1].[dbo].[Field3]These reports use a shared model called “SharedOutputModel”. I thought I should be able to add new fields to a model, but I am not sure if I am trying to do this incorrectly, or perhaps it is because I do not have BIDS installed to edit an existing model, but how do I get three new fields to show up for all reports that use the same model? I assume I do not have to add these to every report. Would you have some insight into added these three new fields to make them available to all reports? I assume I wouldn’t need to add them individually to every Output report, but I have seen worse ideas from Microsoft ;-)
