CHAPTER 13 CREATING REPORTS USING REPORT BUILDER 1.0, 2.0, AND 3.0- If permissions are set appropriately (Content Manager) on the reporting
server, you should see two green checkmarks next to the report parts that we
had selected to deploy. Click Close to return to Report Builder. - Now that we have our report parts deployed, now it is time to create a report
that consumes the report part. Click on the Report Builder menu button again
and choose New and then choose to create a Blank report. After the new report
is loaded change the title of the report to “Estimated Cost by Branch”. - Click on the Insert tab in the tabstrip and then select Report Parts. You should
see the Report Part Gallery window pane become visible on the right side of
the screen, as shown in Figure 13-73. From the Report Part Gallery window,
you can search for report parts and see things like what report parts are out
there as well as who created them. You can even see what the report part looks
like when previewing in thumbnail view.

- To use a report part in a report, it is as easy as dragging and dropping the
report part onto our design surface. With that being said, drag the
EstimatedCostByBranch_Pie chart over onto the design surface and set the left
side to be aligned with the header. Click on the home tab and then run the
report. Executing the report with ServiceYear 2009 can be seen in Figure 13-74. - Save the report to the report server as we did in earlier examples with the name
of EstimatedCostByBranch_RB3_Report_Using_ReportPart. We will be looking
at this report this later after modifying the report part.
