Chapter 4: A Visit to Emerald City: The Report Wizard > Your First Report
Once you have installed the Galactic database, you are ready to build your first Reporting Services report. Of course, few people build reports just for the fun of it. Usually, there is some business reason for this endeavor. In this book, as stated in the previous chapter, we use the business needs of Galactic Delivery Services (GDS) as the basis for our sample reports.
Each of the sample reports used in this book is presented in a manner similar to what you see in this section. The report is introduced with a list of the Reporting Services features it highlights. This is followed by the business need of our sample company, Galactic Delivery Services, which this report is meant to fill. Next is an overview of the tasks that must be accomplished to create the report.
