The report entity model contains a set of entities that are used for managing reports in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. The report entity represents a report definition. Other report entities are used to specify the entities and categories that are related to a report, areas in Microsoft Dynamics CRM where the report is shown and links and dependencies between related reports.

The following table lists the report entities.

Entity name	Description
report	Data summary in an easy-to-read layout.
report category	Categories related to a report. A report can be related to multiple categories.
report entity (reportentity)	Entities related to a report. A report can be related to multiple entities.
report link	Links and dependencies between reporting services reports. A report may drill through to another report, or it may have another report as a subreport.
report visibility	Area in which to show a report. A report can be shown in multiple areas.

The following illustration shows the entity relationships for this area. For more information, see Key to Entity Diagrams.
