Report Builder, Getting Started Pane: OK greyed out

Hi all,

I'm working on a new SSRS implementation, and have created a Report Model against an SSAS database. I launced Report Builder and can see and select the model in the list, but the OK button at the bottom of the pane is greyed out so I'm unable to actually start building a report against it. Any ideas on what I need to change to make the button work? I have already verified that I have full access to the data source as well as the model, in addition to the underlying SSAS DB, so I don't believe it is a permissions issue... But I'm certainly open to any suggestions.

Thanks!

You are probably running into this (from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/899825):

In Report Builder, when you select a report model that was generated from an Analysis Services cube, you must select a perspective that is contained within the model. You must not select the top-level model itself. If your report contains items that are not within a single perspective, an error may occur when you try to render the report.

Report Builder

Report Builder displays the description text as a tooltip in the Explorer pane.

I would like to have metadata about each field in the model when we use
report builder. I tried to use the description field that is in the
properties of each field but that discription does not show up on report
builder. Is this possible to do? Am I just doing it incorrectly?Mr. Meyers, thanks for the reply, I do have one question as a follow up. Do
I have to do something to turn it on? I have descriptions typed in, but when
I "hover" over the column name in report builder, I only get the column name
again in the little text box that comes open. I am running RC2.
Thanks again.
