Chapter 15. Using the Report Center

The Report Center template provided with MOSS 2007 is a powerful tool for displaying reports and metrics for your organization. The Report Center combines the capabilities for providing status and trend information by using KPIs with the dashboard capability for combining Web Parts into a page so that related information from a variety of sources to give users a full view.

In this chapter, we extend the Report Center functionality by installing and configuring the SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint technologies so that SharePoint document libraries can store and manage reporting services reports, models, and data sources. This add-in also installs a Report Viewer Web Part that is designed to display reports in a dashboard or Web Part page.
