Managing Reports and Delivering them to the end users
Tools:
Report Server
Report Manager
Steps for Managing Reports and Delivering them to the End Users
First, you bring all of your reports from the development environment to the Report Catalog – Report Catalog is directly under Report Server’s control.
Second: Configure the Report Server for Security and Accessibility (who can access reports and how)
Third: Use Report Server’s Caching and Report History tools to configure how a report will be generated when users request for the report.
We use Report Manager to control all of these features of the Report Server
Moving Your Reports from Development Environments to Report Catalog
Methods:
1. Using the Report Designer : Push reports to the Report Catalog
2. Using the Report Manager : Just like uploading reports, point it and load it
3. Linked Reports
How does the Report Server Organize Reports
Report server displays and organizes reports using folders i.e you can browse reports using some Windows Explorer style Folder Structure. There really is no real folder structure in the file system (you cannot access such folders from Windows Explorer). Report Manager just displays in this way and organizes reports in a folder hierarchy.
Report Manager needs to be accessed from Internet Explorer. Report Manager gives you the option to create the folder hierarchy. You can also create folders while deploying through Report Designer.
You can deploy shared data as well using the Report Designer (Relates to moving reports)
You can also create Shared Data Source using Report Manager (Relates to moving reports)
Related Concepts:
You do not need to show everything such as Shared Data sources to the users while they are browsing folders to access reports. You can configure the Report Manager to hide unnecessary (to the user) items.
