Chapter V.2. Creating Reports with Report Builder

The Report Builder is a relatively simple graphical user interface (GUI) that you can make available to end users to build their own reports. The difficult part is identifying what types of reports the users might want to create and including the available data in a report model.

After a report model has been created and deployed to the Report Manager within a Reporting Services Web site, users can create their own reports. Although creating a report with the Report Builder is fairly easy, predicting what reports your users might want and creating the report models might take a little more time and energy.
