Introduction

The legacy reporting system in Dynamics AX, which used to develop through the MorphX IDE or X++, had very limited capabilities for rendering data. Something as simple as adding an image and placing it correctly was a massive task, while adding things like graphs and charts was not even imaginable. SSRS takes away this pain and makes it easy to represent data in different formats that offer convenient representation options, making it easier for the end-user to absorb the data. This chapter will discuss the recipes that cover the kinds of controls other than the table layout control discussed so far, and this can be used to represent data, such as matrix, charts, gauges, and more. The reader will be familiarized with the different controls and how these can be put to use in reports through this chapter.
