CRM 2011 and Report Builder (3.0)?

Question

Hi,

Any chance of creating reports with Report Builder 3.0 for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011? Or is Visual Studio the only way to go?

As I'm not a developer I am not familiar with Visual Studio but in the past (CRM 4.0) I managed fine building reports with Report Builder.

For on-premise you shouldn't have a problem with report builder as you can still use these filtered views along with ones created for your custom entities as you did in CRM 4.0

here is an example of someone using report builder 3 with CRM against the filtered views:

BUT, for CRM online the following applys as it requires the use of fetch XML:

You need to install CRM report Authoring extensions to develop custom reports this according to the report authoring extensions website requires BIDS or Visual Studio 2008 SP 1
