SSRS + Widgets = Dynamic Desktop

After 2 days of training in SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) I have now written my first report.

I wanted it to be useful but also to keep it simple what with it being my first venture into SSRS.  As any of you who work with school's MIS databases will know the many different types of data that is recorded, so I decided to go for a report based on learner data.

Also, I love the fact that you can place these reports within a widget on a users desktop.  So as soon as a user logs on, POW! there's the information.

Anyway, the report lists the different Ethnicity of the learners currently at the school. It also makes use of the 'Databar' feature which is a nice graphical way of viewing amounts.
