Breaking changes from v6.x

• We plan to deprecate Views in upcoming releases.

• Initially, we removed the Views option in the Report Server.

• For special cases, if you still need the option to save the views, navigate to Settings -> Configuration -> reporting/config.xml, set the <EnableViewsInReportsMenu> node to true, and then save the changes.
  <EnableViewsInReportsMenu>true</EnableViewsInReportsMenu>

• Now you can find the view option in the context menu.
