How do I change the "Create Dashboard Page" and "Create Report" templates back to the default ones?

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to implement a Reports Library to show dashboards which will get data from lists on other SharePoint 2007 sites.  When I clicked on the New button, I see that the templates for creating new report and new dashboard page were changed (please see the screenshot below).  How do I change it back to the default ones (as shown in here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb966994(v=office.12).aspx)?

Thanks,
Arion

Hi Arion,

As I understand, you want to change the default content type for the library.
By default, the first content type that is displayed on the New button becomes the default content type for the list or library. To change the default content type for the list or library, change the content type that is displayed first on the New button. You can also specify whether you want content types that have been added to a list or library to be visible on the New button.

Thank you Wayne.

What are the SharePoint 2007 default file types for the new Report and the Dashboard Page? I want to change those buttons back to the SharePoint 2007 default ones so that users can create new Report and Dashboard Page.

Thanks,
Arion

Hi Arion,

When you create the report library, there are three content types in the library by default. And they will be shown as the image in your post.
It’s not the default ones in the link: (as shown in herehttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb966994(v=office.12).aspx)?
You can custom the content type , and also adjust the order in the library.
