ActiveReports Server provides you with the ability to upload, download or delete data sets from the Administrator dashboard. The server administrator sets up permissions to control who can access data sets uploaded on ActiveReports Server. You can use these server shared data sets to design reports in ActiveReports. See Server Shared Data Sets, for more information.
