Report Builder3.0

Report Builder 3.0 introduces additional visualizations including maps, sparklines and databars which can help produce new insights well beyond what can be achieved with standard tables and charts. The Report Part Gallery is also included in this release - taking self-service reporting to new heights by enabling users to re-use existing report parts as building blocks for creating new reports in a matter of minutes with a “grab and go” experience. Additionally, users will experience significant performance improvements with enhancements to the ability to use Report Builder in server mode. This allows for much faster report processing with caching of datasets on the report server when toggling between design and preview modes.

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Report Builder 3.0 has two different methods to complete the installation process:
•Attended Installation – an interactive user interface will guide you through the set-up process and obtain all of the information and consent required to complete the installation. This includes the displaying, acknowledgement, and archiving of the applicable SQL Server license terms.

•Un-attend Installation – this is a DOS command Line set-up process that does not have an interactive user interface to guide you through the set-up process. In this case, you will be required to enter a parameter during installation that indicates your acceptance of the license terms.

The Report Builder license terms and readme are both located on this web page in the download section. You can also download the Report Bulder 3.0 suite of standalone sample reports on this page.

The Report Builder 3.0 suite of standalone sample reports demonstrates the use of data regions such as table, matrix, and list; data visualization such as charts, sparklines and indicators; and other new SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services features such as 270 degree text rotation.

•It isn’t necessary to install data sources to run these reports, as the report queries include the report data.

•The sample reports download includes a Readme with instructions on how to view and run the reports.
