Working with Report Manager - Learning SQL Server Reporting Services 2012 - page 207

1. With the report open in Report Manager, click on the Export Format button

and from the dropdown list click on WORD .
You will get a browser message as to what you want to do with the
downloaded document ReportEmbed.docx . Choose your option.

2. Click on Open or Save .

3. You can save it to a location of your choice.

If you click on Open , several pages of a Word document, Reportembed.docx ,
will be displayed (WORD 2013 opened the application in the present case).

Report Manager opened and displayed correctly in Mozilla
13.0.1 but Google Chrome Version 26.0.1410.64 m could access
the Report Manager but did not display the report.

Data feed format
Businesses sometimes need to exchange information in yet more modern formats
such as data feeds. The icon for data feed when clicked generates an atom-compliant
data feed from the report. The data feed can be read on an application such as SQL
Server 2012 PowerPivot Client. Perform the following steps:

1. With the report open in Report Manager click on data feed icon.

2. Click on Open or Save to save the document (with .atomsvc extension)

to a folder of your choice. If your choice is Open , then the computer may
offer choices to open the document or direct you to the Internet to search
for programs.

Excel 2013 with PowerPivot add-in enabled can view
this report with extension .atomsvc if the credentials
are correctly set.

Search
Search is a very important feature if the number of reports is large and the report
database contains extensive information. The Report Server may have hundreds
of objects, folders, reports, report models, data sources, report parts, and so on.
