Working with Report Manager - Learning SQL Server Reporting Services 2012 - page 170

Standard edition does not support Data Driven subscriptions,
Power View, and Data Alerts.
All others versions do not support SSRS adequately and the Express editions provide
no support.
The reader is urged to review Chapter 2 , SQL Server Reporting Services 2012 Projects
with Visual Studio 2012 , and create a couple of reports and deploy them to the Report
Server before digging into this chapter.
Tasks performed using Report Manager
The following are the tasks that you can perform with Report Manager ( RM ):
• Create, secure, and maintain the folder hierarchy to organize items on
the server
• Configure role-based security that determines access to items and operations
• View, search, print, and subscribe to reports
• Configure report execution properties, report history, and report parameters
• Create report models that connect to and retrieve data from a Microsoft
SQL Server Analysis Services data source or from a SQL Server relational
data source
• Set model item security to allow access to specific entities in the model, or
map entities to predefined clickthrough reports that you create in advance
• Create shared schedules and shared data sources to make schedules and
data source connections more manageable
• Create data-driven subscriptions that roll out reports to a large recipient list
• Create linked reports to reuse and repurpose an existing report in
different ways
We will be doing some of these in this chapter. Report Manager and the tasks one
can undertake were also described in the 1st edition of this topic, Learning SQL Server
Reporting Services 2008 , ISBN: 9781847196187, Chapter 5 , Working with Report Manager .
