# Create a New Blank Report

To create a new report:

1. Open Report Builder (**Start** > **Apps** > **Microsoft SQL Server Report Builder** > **Report Builder**).
2. In the **Getting Started** dialog, select **New Report** and then click **Blank Report.**
3. The main Report Builder window opens.
4. In the lower left-hand corner of the window, it should say, "No current report server. Connect".
5. Click the **Connect** link and then enter the Report server URL using the following format:

   `http://[server-name]:8085/ReportServer_RASREPORTING`

   where `[server-name]` is the name or IP address of the server where you have the SQL Server instance installed. The "RASREPORTING" part is the SQL Server instance name. If you used a different name when you installed the instance, use that name instead of "RASREPORTING".
6. Click **Connect**. The Report Builder will connect to the report server and will display the server URL in the lower left-hand corner of the window.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-reporting-service-guide/creating-custom-reports/create-a-new-blank-report.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
