New Features of Reporting Services
Reporting Services contained a number of changes in the 2008 R2 release. The features in Report
Manager included the following:■ (^) A Robust, Offi ce-like Report Builder 3.0. (Its name is now simply Report Builder.)
■ (^) A more modern look and feel to the Report Manager interface.
■ (^) More direct access to report properties inside Report Manager.
■ (^) Shared Datasets: Datasets can be published as objects to Report Manager the same way
that data sources are, and consumed by other authors.
New in SQL Server 2012:
■ Reporting Services uses SharePoint’s built-in scale and load balancer.
■ The Reporting Services catalog is a SharePoint Service Database.
■ Data Alerts are available for confi guration. A user can confi gure e-mails to be sent when
certain criteria are met in a report.
■ SharePoint cross-farm access: If the farm is trusted, users on one farm can consume reports
on the other.
■ Ability to back up and restore Reporting Services catalog from inside Central Admin UI.
■ Microsoft Excel 2010 and Microsoft Word 2010 rendering capabilities.
