How to Interact With an SSRS Server
The SSRS server stands for server reporting services and it’s part of the Microsoft SQL server. If you want to interact with the SSRS server on your network you have to set up a connection first. Once connected, you can use the Report Manager to interact with reports over the server. The Report Manager opens in your browser window. You need Internet Explorer to view and interact with the reports.
