Is there a way to extend the report manager interface so that we can =
copy reports from one folder to another instead of moving them? We have =
several locations that are defined by folders with shared datasource for =
each location in their folder. When we create a report it would be nice =
to be able to put the local copy in a deployment folder on the report =
server then simply copy the report to the proper folder and fix the =
datasource. Now you have to upload the report independently to each =
folder. It would make central management a lot easier.

"Copying" is not possible through the Report Manager UI (but it could be
done via multiple SOAP calls).
Did you look into "Linked Reports"?

However, you cannot set different data source properties on linked reports -
so it may not be what you are looking for.
