Developers tasked with creating or maintaining SSIS packages use a visual development tool based on Microsoft Visual Studio called the SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS). It allows users to edit SSIS packages using a drag-and-drop user interface. A scripting environment for writing programming code is also available in the tool. A package holds a variety of elements that define a workflow. Upon package execution, the tool provides color-coded real-time monitoring. (Note: In more recent versions MS SQL Server, BIDS has been replaced with "SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence" (SSDT-BI).)
