Free Sample Mobile Reports for SQL Server 2016 Reporting Services

Hi all – I was hoping to get to this over the weekend, since I know a number of folks were looking for some sample mobile report files they could use as a starting point for building new reports in SQL Server 2016 Reporting Services. While we weren’t able to include any sample files as part of the Mobile Report Publisher install, I do have some sample files I use that I’m happy to share with you to use as you’d like. Just download the zip file, open one of them in Mobile Report Publisher and you have a great starting point for your own mobile report(s).

The usual disclaimer applies that these samples aren’t officially supported by Microsoft in any way.

SQL Server Mobile Reports – Free Maps of the Week

Hi all – hopefully, you’re as excited as I am about the upcoming GA of SQL Server 2016 on June 1 and with it, the brand new version of Reporting Services. We’re finishing up the official release of the Mobile Report Publisher as well, and with that in mind, I wanted to introduce a new blog series I’m doing here. I’ve taken the time to put together some custom map files you can use for your mobile reports. I’ll post the files here each week or so. These will be free for you to download/share, use or repurpose however you’d like. I’ll post more as I get more created – these maps aren’t officially supported by Microsoft in anyway, so keep that in mind as you download and use them. I just thought you might find them valuable, and frankly, I needed to do a new blog post. It’s been awhile.

Use the links below to download the zipped map files. You’ll need to unzip them and follow the directions here to use them in your mobile reports.

Thanks for reading, and enjoy the free maps. Be sure to keep following this blog to grab more maps in the future!

Shape of the Union or Free Datazen Maps!

This blog post will be short, but hopefully valuable for everyone. I’ve included a link to a zip file at the end of this post containing all the US states and some variations on the continental US you might find valuable (4 region view, 9 region view, etc.)

It’s easy to add these to your server and make them available in your dashboards. To do so, go to the Datazen hub you wish to add the new map shape to and click “Custom Maps” on the left-hand navigation bar –

Then click “Upload Map Shape” to open a new dialog and select the files you wish to upload –

Once you’ve uploaded them, you’ll have access to them whenever you select any map object in your designer screen by selecting “Custom Map from Datazen Server” in the dropdown. You’ll be prompted through a few screens to select the map you want to use.
