Create New Project in SSRS

SQL Server Reporting Services (Shortly called as SSRS) is a server-based reporting platform used to create and manage tabular, matrix, graphical, charts and free-form reports. The reports that we create can be accessed and managed over a World Wide connection. In this article we will show you the step by step approach to create new project in SSRS with example.
