# About the Run Microsoft Reporting Services Tool

The Run Microsoft Reporting Services Tool is used to create a Task Step to automate the running of Microsoft Reporting Services (MSRS) reports. Two modes are available for running a report as follows:

|  | Report Server Mode — An existing report located on a MSRS Report Server may be run by King Task Centre, either on a scheduled basis or based on an event. A connection to the server is set up through a Global Configuration dialog box into which the authentication details are added to provide access to the report.

|  | Local Mode — A report may be imported into King Task Centre which enables it to be run locally. A major benefit of doing this is that you are able to use dynamic data provided by other Task Steps, such as Database Query (ODBC), or configured as Task or Step Variables that can be passed to the report at Task run time. The data may also then be used to run a report one or many times.

The report data exposed by the Step can be "delivered" by Output Steps such as Send Email (SMTP), Transfer File (FTP), or Save File, and then used to present sophisticated management information, delivered via email, fax or published to form part of web or intranet content.

New reports are designed in the Microsoft Reporting Services designer environment, so experienced users of this powerful application are able to produce a new report, or modify an existing one, and integrate it with King Task Centre.
