Microsoft [!INCLUDEssRBnoversion] is a stand-alone report authoring environment. With it, you can create paginated reports and publish them to a [!INCLUDEssRSnoversion] report server.

Note

Reporting Services integration with SharePoint is no longer available after SQL Server 2016. ::: moniker-end

The first time you start [!INCLUDEssRBnoversion] from the [!INCLUDEssRSnoversion] web portal, you're prompted to download Report Builder from the Microsoft Download Center.

You or an administrator can also install Report Builder on your computer from the Microsoft Download Center. For more information, see the Install Report Builder with Systems Manager Server section in Install Report Builder.

[!INCLUDEssRBnoversion] isn't installed when you install SQL Server Reporting Services. You need to download and install it separately.

When you start [!INCLUDEssRBnoversion] from the web portal or SharePoint site, if an earlier version of [!INCLUDEssRBnoversion] opens, contact your administrator. The administrator can update the version on the web portal or SharePoint site.

Start Report Builder from the Reporting Services web portal

  1. In your web browser, type the URL for your report server in the address bar. By default, the URL is https://<servername>/reports.

  2. In the top bar of the web portal, select New and choose Paginated Report.

    :::image type="content" source="media/start-report-builder/web-portal-new-paginated-report.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the New Paginated Report menu.":::

    The first time, you're prompted to install Report Builder.

    After that first time, [!INCLUDEssRBnoversion] opens, and you can create a paginated report or open a report from the report server.

::: moniker range=">=sql-server-2016 <=sql-server-2016"

Start Report Builder in SharePoint integrated mode

  1. Navigate to the SharePoint site that contains the library you want.

  2. Open the library.

  3. Select Documents.

  4. On the New Document menu, select Report Builder Report.

    The first time, this action launches the SQL Server [!INCLUDEssRBnoversion] Wizard. For more information, see Install Report Builder.

    [!INCLUDEssRBnoversion] opens, and you can create a paginated report or open a report on the report server.

    [!NOTE]
    If the New Document menu does not list Report Builder Report, Report Builder Model, or Report Data Source, their content types need to be added to the SharePoint library. For more information, see Add Reporting Services content types to a SharePoint library.
