# 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.
