What are the different user interfaces or client tools you have used to view the reports?

Hi there,

 

RS reports can be rendered in your application, through a browser (eg internet explorer), excel, HTML, pdf, tiff and csv by default, and I believe you can create custom rendering types as well. SQL Server Management Studio can be used to administrate some of the fuctionality, as can the Reporting Services "reports" website...

This link (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156312(SQL.90).aspx) might be a good place to start understanding the rendering possibilities...

Hope this helps,

 

Charley.

You can publish reports to end users through html, pdf, excel, csv etc. Regardless of mode used out put of reporting session is a report definition file. (.rdl). From SSRS 2005 report builder is provided for power users to generate adhoc reports.
