Reusability CHAPTER 9 181

You can publish report parts both from Report Builder 3.0 and Report Designer in Business

Intelligence Development Studio. In Report Designer, the Report menu contains the Publish

Report Parts command. In the Publish Report Parts dialog box, shown in Figure 9-17, you

select the report items that you want to publish. You can replace the report item name and

provide a description before publishing.

FIGURE 9-17 The Publish Report Parts dialog box

When you rst publish the report part, Reporting Services assigns it a unique identier

that persists across all reports to which it will be added. Note the option in the Publish Report

Parts dialog box in Report Designer (shown in Figure 9-15) to overwrite the report part on the

report server every time you deploy the report. In Report Builder, you have a different option

that allows you to choose whether to publish the report item as a new copy of the report.

If you later modify the report part and publish the revised version, Reporting Services can

use the report part’s unique identier to recognize it in another report when another report

developer opens that report for editing. At that time, the report author receives a notication

of the revision and can decide whether to accept the change.
