To add more reports, copy the .rpt file of the report you want to either of the directories shown in the following example, as it applies to your operating system:

Pinned Reports in the Report Designer

These reports are segregated into categories and each category of reports is available in a separate folder. You can create a folder of your own add the reports of your choice to it.

The following folder includes the pinned reports:

Windows 7

C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\erwin\Data Modeler\[rn]\Report Solutions

Reports that are copied directly under this folder do not appear in the Pinned Reports dialog. The reports must be in a subfolder under this folder.
