# Design the Report

After adding a data set, you can design the visual representation of your report.

Report Builder gives you many options of how the data can be represented on a report. You can use tables, lists, matrices, charts, etc. You can also insert text boxes, lines, images, and other graphics. In this tutorial, we will create a simple report that displays the data in a table format.

To insert a table into the report:

1. In Report Builder, make sure you have the main design view displayed.
2. Right-click in the report's empty space and then click **Insert > Table**.
3. Expand the **Datasets** folder in the left pane and then expand your data set, so you can see the fields included in the set.
4. Drag a data field to a desired column in the table. Repeat for other fields.

To test the report, click **Run** or press F5. To return back to the designer, click **Design**.

When you are satisfied with how your report looks in the Report Builder, you can save it in the database as follows:

1. In Report Builder, click **File** > **Save As**.
2. In the **Save As Report** dialog, select your report server URL in the drop-down list at the top of the dialog.
3. Double-click the **Custom reports** folder, type a name for your report and click **Save**.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** You can create sub folders to section the reports as you like. To set a particular order for your reports, you can add numbering to the report name in form of ####.REPORT\_NAME, such as: '0001.My Custom Report'. This can also be used with subfolder names.
{% endhint %}
