 8.  To quickly verify that you are getting the data you expect, go to the Report tab, select a few break levels for the report, and click on Preview.

12.  In Conclusion: 

You can generate a report very quickly, and then come back into Design mode to control the format and output options. 

You can also cut and paste functional and complex SQL into Report Designer using the SQL menu option.

The greatest strength of the V8 BI tools is the ability to work fast and generate lots of  reports and share then easily with peers and groups.
