SQL Server Reporting Services
Some organizations run SQL Server Reporting Services in
native mode,
meaning that you can access
reports via the Web, but outside of SharePoint. This is possible because SQL Server Reporting Services
includes a built-in Web server, or alternatively, the option to leverage Internet Information Services,
the standard Windows Web server, as a means for deploying reports over the Web. The Report
Manager page serves as a catalog of reports that can be browsed by end users.
When viewing Reporting Services reports on a mobile device, you can leverage all the features that
have made Reporting Services a popular enterprise tool. For example, you can expand and collapse
report areas showing a plus or minus indicator, apply sorts and filters (also called
parameters
), and
click hyperlinks. Reports can also be exported to TIFF, PDF, XML, CSV, MHTML, Excel, and Word.
When reports are hosted natively using Reporting Services, users can access them using iPad running
iOS 6 or greater, or Windows Phone or Surface running Windows 8 or greater. In addition, SQL Server
must be 2012 SP1 or greater.
When using Apple's Safari browser, you cannot view reports in Report Manager, and the
only report export options are TIFF and PDF.
Note
SharePoint 2010 and 2013
This topic has highlighted many applications that run as part of SharePoint and are intended to pro-
vide reporting, data visualization, and other business intelligence functionality for end users. Users
with compatible mobile devices can access many of the same SharePoint features that are provided
to desktop users. Aside from the ability to open Excel, Word, and PowerPoint documents, SharePoint
mobile functionality includes
➤ Browsing sites in a SharePoint Business Intelligence Center
➤ Interacting with Reporting Services and Excel Services reports
➤ Interacting with PerformancePoint dashboards
➤ Exporting to PowerPoint or Excel
As of this writing, compatible mobile devices include iPad running iOS 5 or greater, tablets running
Windows 8, devices running Windows Phone 7.5 or greater, and Windows Surface running Surface RT.
Supported browsers include Safari and Internet Explorer Mobile.
New in SharePoint 2013, contemporary view is a user setting (that is, selected on the device) that
causes pages to be rendered in HTML5. Not only does this view optimize the Web content layout for
mobile devices, it also allows SharePoint content to be rendered on Android (as well as on the stan-
dard supported browsers).
