CHAPTER 8 DEPLOYING REPORTSFigure 8-5. The new Report Builder 3.0 interface
Report Builder 3.0 will feel more familiar to users of Windows 7 or the newer Office suites. The main
menu for this program is located under the Pearl in the top-left corner of the screen that looks like the
SQL Server symbol. Click the Pearl once to expand the menu and select Open. This will allow you to
browse to the report that you wish to open for editing or deploying. This report can be loaded from a file
on a local/remote disk or directly from the report server that you are connected to. Once the file has
been loaded, the report will appear in design mode in the center window, and the data will populate the
window to the left. From here, you can make any changes needed before deploying to the server. Since
you opened the report builder from the web interface, go ahead and load the report from the server and
your Report Builder should resemble Figure 8-6.
