Created topic report does not appear in the list of topics in Create -> Ad hoc View

Scenario:

Created a new Topic - myTestTopic - created using Jasperstudio using SQL and creating a jrxml file. The topic was then published to the JasperReports server. User then tried to create a new Adhoc View to make use of this topic but topic is not available in list of sources and also cannot be selected via the Tree View either.

Solution:

The ad hoc topics need to be put in /adhoc/topics folder. If they are put in any other location, the engine won't pick them up.
