Developing Reports

Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 provides a model-based approach for creating
reports by providing project templates and modeling tools that are incorporated
into the Microsoft Visual Studio development environment. The reporting
features that Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 provides are based on a tight
integration with SQL Server Reporting Services.
By using the Microsoft Visual Studio reporting tools with Microsoft Dynamics
AX 2012, you can realize the following benefits:

• Creating reports quickly by using the auto design reporting feature.
This feature automatically creates a report design that is based on the
report data.

• Using SQL Report Designer for reports that require a customized
design.

• Creating a consistent appearance for your reports by using style
templates. One style template can be applied to many reports. Style
templates allow you to separate the style settings from the actual
report definition.

• Previewing reports at design time from within the Microsoft Visual
Studio development environment.

Reports that are created by using the Microsoft Visual Studio reporting tools can
be integrated into Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012. They can be displayed as menu
items in the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 client and in Enterprise Portal Web
parts.
