To create a report project

Before you can create Report Viewer enabled reports, you must first create a report project.

To create a report project, complete the following steps:

  1. Start the Reporting Studio.
  2. On the File menu, click New. Then click Project. The New Project dialog starts.
  3. In the Wizards pane, expand the Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools folder and select Report Project.
  4. Click Next. The New Report Project wizard starts.
  5. Specify the name of the project, such as LN, and define the location to store the project's files.

    The Location property is optional and maps to the directory structure in the file system in which the project and the project's resources are stored.

    If you select the Use default location check box, the Eclipse workspace is used as the root directory for the project. To create the project and the project's related resources in a different location, clear the Use default location check box and specify the new location.

  6. Click Finish.

    The project is displayed in the Navigator view. See the following figure for an example.
