CHAPTER 12 DELIVERING BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE WITH SSRS
Figure 12-28. Target URL properties for the report project
After you have made these changes to the target URLs for the report project, you can deploy reports
directly to SharePoint. Right-click the PatRef_DS Shared Data Source and select Deploy. In order to
deploy the report to the SharePoint site, you first must deploy the data source. After the PatRef_DS data
source is deployed, right-click the Average Referral to Admission report in the Solution Explorer and
select Deploy. Alternatively, you could have selected both the data source and the report by holding the
Ctrl key down, then right-clicking and selecting Deploy. This would have deployed the data source first
and then the report. Once the report has been successfully deployed, you will be able to see the report
within the SharePoint site. The best part about deploying reports to SharePoint, as you can see in Figure
12-29, is that you get to take advantage of all of the SharePoint document features, as RDL files are
viewed as documents as well. Features such as workflows, alerts, and document check-in and check-out
are inherited.
