Rename a folder or building block in Report Designer
In Report Designer, you can rename folders, report definitions, row definitions, column definitions, and reporting tree definitions.
Note: When you rename a building block, you must update any reporting definitions that use the building block. Otherwise, a new report can’t be generated.
