Deploying and sharing reports
Once the Power View reports are created, it is time to deploy them so that they can
be shared with others. If you create your Power View report directly in SharePoint,
you can quickly and easily save the report to a PowerPivot Gallery, and it can be
shared by others using following steps:
1. Once the Power View report in SharePoint is complete, select the
FILE
tab in
the ribbon.
2. Click on
Save
and enter a filename for the report file, which will be given the
file extension of
.rdlx
(see the following screenshot).
3. You have the option to save preview images of the report so that other users
can see them in the PowerPivot Gallery view pane by checking the
Include
an image of each view in its current state as a preview for other users (in
PowerPivot Gallery and other applications)
box. They are snapshots of the
report and not real-time images, although they are frequently refreshed.
This option is checked by default.
4. Use the current location or browse to another location to store the report file
and click on
Save
.
Saving a Power View report in SharePoint
If the Power View report is contained in an Excel workbook, you can save it to
SharePoint using the same steps in the previous PowerPivot section.
