Summary
In this chapter, we stepped into the shoes of a report developer and created a
Reporting Services report from start to finish using SQL Server Data Tools. Readers
should now be familiar with creating a SQL Server report project consisting of a

report server installed in the Native mode.

self-service reporting tool geared more towards business users who wish to
create their own reports.
