New Grid dialog box: Intelligent Cubes tab

When you create a new report, the New Grid dialog box opens. The Intelligent Cubes tab allows you to use an Intelligent Cube to create your report.

Intelligent Cubes are multi-dimensional cubes (sets of data) that allow you to use OLAP Services features on reports, as well as share sets of data among multiple reports.

Locate the Intelligent Cube to be used in creating the report, and click OK. The Report Editor opens with all of the objects of the Intelligent Cube included in the Report Objects pane on the left. You can begin to create your report. For more detailed instructions, see Creating reports that access Intelligent Cubes; for background information on Intelligent Cubes in general, see Reporting on Intelligent Cubes and Sharing sets of data among reports: Intelligent Cubes.
