FirmFocus Report Installation Instructions

The *.RDL file needs to be placed on your SSRS server. The only mandatory step is to point the report to your Expert Database.

  1. Upload the SSRS report (RDL file) to the desired folder on your SSRS Server
  2. Right Click on the report (or click the 3 dots at the top right of the report tile) and select Manage.
  3. Click on Data Sources. Select your Expert Prod data source. Click Apply.
  4. Your report will now run, connected to your Aderant Database.
  1. First, select the report you would like to install on the FirmFocus Website. Download the file to your device (laptop or PC). This will initiate a download in your browser for a zip file containing the report.
  2. Extract the RDL file contained in the zip file that you downloaded.
  3. Look at your Aderant Expert Administration > System Environmental Settings for the location of your Report Server URL
    Example: https://ssrs.yourfirm.expertsierra.com/ReportServer/
  4. Replace ReportServer with Reports and navigate to the site via browser
    Example: https://ssrs.yourfirm.expertsierra.com/Reports/browse/PROD/Reports
  5. Navigate to the location where you would like to publish the report. If you would like to create a custom folder, create one now.
