SEE ALSO Viewing Reports with SharePoint 2.0 Web Parts

Introduction

K2 blackpearl makes use of Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) to provide workflow reports. These reports are installed as part of the K2 blackpearl Reporting Services Components and can be viewed using the K2 blackpearl Workspace or the Report Manager web site.

Reporting information can be easily displayed to users that are connecting to a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 web site. This is done by using the Reporting Services web parts. This article will describe the steps necessary to display the workflow reports to users by making use of these web parts.
