- Creating a Basic Table Report
- Formatting Report Pages
- Calculating Values
Module 3: Enhancing Basic Reports
This module introduces some techniques for enhancing a basic report using document maps, actions, and data regions. Document maps provide navigation through a contents page, actions provide a mechanism for creating custom actions (jumping from one report to another for example), and data regions allow data to be displayed in formats such as a matrix or a list.
- Interactive Navigation
- Displaying Data
Module 4: Manipulating Data Sets
In this module, data sets are covered in greater depth, including the use of alternative data sources and interacting with a data set through parameters. Student will learn how to dynamically modify the data set underlying a data region allowing parameters to be sent to the underlying query. This module presents various best practices for dealing with static and dynamic parameter lists when interacting with stored procedures.
- Defining Report Data
- Using Parameters and Filters
- Using Parameters Lists
Module 5: Managing Content
This module introduces the management of content in the Reporting Services database. The module discusses the process of deploying reports together with the various mechanisms that can be used in deployment. Students learn about the report execution models supported by Reporting Services, including the caching of report instances. Finally, students learn about using subscriptions for report delivery.
- Publishing Content
- Executing Reports
- Creating Cached Instances
- Creating Snapshots and Report History
- Creating Report Subscriptions
Module 6: Administering Reporting Services
This module introduces the administration of the Reporting Services server, the administration of individual jobs, and the administration of the database. In this module, students will learn how to administer the Reporting Services server, monitor and optimize the performance of the Report Server, maintain the Reporting Services databases, and keep the system secure.
- Server Administration
- Performance and Reliability Monitoring
