A solution contains one or more projects. You will find report projects that have been added to the AOT under the Visual Studio Projects node and then expand the Dynamics AX Model Projects node. To add report projects to the AOT, in the Solution Explorer, right-click the reporting project and then click Add [project name] to AOT. For information about the other projects supported in Microsoft Dynamics AX, see Visual Studio Integration and How to: Add a Visual Studio Project to Microsoft Dynamics AX Version Control.
