Creating a Report (Report Builder)
To create a report in Report Builder, you must first select a source of data from any report server or SharePoint library that is available to you. A data source contains the information necessary to access the underlying database, information about how the database is structured, and descriptions of the data contained within it.
After you have selected your data source, you can view the contents of the data source and begin to select the data that you want to display in your report.
