Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Unleashed

Using SharePoint’s Native Reporting Capabilities

Out-of-the-box, SharePoint 2010 gives administrators access to a default set of reports, some of which are shown in Figure 11.4, that can analyze traffic patterns or perform diagnostics on an environment.

The default set of reports can also be extended by third-party utilities or with custom created reports. In addition, SharePoint administrators can customize individual reports to fit their own specific needs.

Note

SharePoint reporting can be further extended using SQL Server Reporting Services running in SharePoint Integration Mode.
