Connect to a Federated Data Source

Note

This data source type is available in the Data Source Wizard only if a report contains at least one data source.

Choose Data Federation to combine multiple data sources and specify unions, joins, or master-detail relationships between data source queries.

Click Next to go to the Create a Federated Query page.
