Report Design Basics


Report design is usually a two-part process that consists of defining data and arranging items on a page. With SQL Server Reporting Services, data definition involves
specifying a data source and identifying the data to use in the report. You can then use data regions such as tables, matrixes, lists, and charts to display the data on the
report and add other report items, such as graphic elements and images, to the report layout. All report items have properties that determine how the items appear on
the report. You can also add functionality that allows users to interact with a rendered report.
