How to Increase Report Development Productivity in SSRS by Jessica M. Moss, SQL Server MVP

Using SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services and Report Builder 3.0, report writers can store, re-use, and modify pieces of reports using "report parts". Report parts are stored on the report server and are provided to others for collaboration in a report part library to increase initial development productivity and decrease maintenance turn-around time. This presentation will describe how to set up a user-friendly and easily maintained report part library by discussing how to create report parts, how to store them on the report server, and how to import them into a new report. 

Jessica M. Moss is an architect at CapTech Consulting, speaker, author, and Microsoft MVP of SQL Server business intelligence.
