  3. On the Information page of the Create Report Wizard, select Model-based report and then click Next.

  4. On the Model Selection page of the Create Report Wizard, select the report model you want to use from the Model drop-down list. You can browse the views and objects exposed by this model in the Preview window. Click Next to continue.

  5. On the Summary page of the Create Report Wizard, review information about the report that will be created and then click Next.

  6. After the Progress page of the Create Report Wizard is displayed, review the Wizard Completed page and then click Close to exit the wizard and open Microsoft Report Builder.

  7. In Microsoft Report Builder, drag and drop items from the available views into the report builder window. For more information about the options in Microsoft Report Builder, see About Using Microsoft Report Builder to Create Reports in SQL Reporting Services.

  8. When you have finished creating the report in Microsoft Report Builder, click File and then click Save.
