Problem

according to this picture the reports menu is disabled.

how can I enable this menu. I thought that maybe it depends on the version of my SQL server.so this is my SQL server version:

Microsoft SQL Server 2016 (RTM) - 13.0.1601.5 (X64) 
Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows 8.1 Pro 6.3  (Build 9600: )

Solution

I think it's not because of the version of your DB server but because of the version of your Management Studio.

I tried to connect a SQLServer 2016 with a Management Studio 2014, and indeed, the Report feature is disabled (only for databases).

And then tried with a Management Studio 2016, the Report feature is now available.

So, try to upgrade your Management Studio to the newest version.
