Reports and KPIsDynamics Report Server Report Web parts display SQL Server Reporting Services reports that provide information from the Microsoft Dynamics AX database or from cubes that are set up in SQL Server Analysis Services.

You also can use these Web parts to view lists of key performance indicators (KPIs), which are business metrics that can be summarized in terms of a comparison, goal, value, and status. For example, you might use KPIs to compare actual expenditures with budgeted amounts.

Depending on how the information was created, drilldown functionality might be included so that you can view more details about the data. If the information is displayed from a cube, the cube will need to be refreshed before the information in the report or KPI will be refreshed.
