You see in Figure 6-15 that there is an option to have images of the views
with the report file as well. These images can then be used to display in,
say, the PowerPivot Gallery if you choose to save your reports in that type
of a library. If you do then you will get to see a preview of the views that
are included in your report file.

Now you can browse to a new location if the current location is not
where you want to store the report file. When you are ready, you can
click Save.

Power View reports created in SharePoint (not the ones created by using
Excel) have another great feature: they can be exported to PowerPoint. This
makes these reports more mobile, and full interactivity is possible as long as
the person has connectivity to the data source. To export your Power View
reports to PowerPoint, simply press the button
shown in Figure 6-16 while you are viewing the
report in SharePoint.
In addition to being able to make these reports
more mobile and being able to incorporate them
into a presentation, this also provides a nice way
to be able to print all of the reports at the same
time. If you tried to print them from SharePoint
you would only be able to print one view within
a report file at a time, so if you have multiple
pages, using the Export to PowerPoint option
works nicely. In addition to that, you are also
able to save them to a PDF format once they
are exported.
