The SSRS is primarily about "clicking" reports in a limited designer.
jsreport was initially released 10 years ago mainly based on the frustration from the tools like SSRS.jsreport will let you code the reports as you like it. However, you still need to take your time to understand basic concepts, there is no auto-migration tool.
If you need to output pdf, you will need just some basic js and HTML knowledge.
If you need to output Office documents, you will type js/handlebars tags directly to the office which is still a basic developer task.Please check our learn section and come back with specific questions. We are here to help

Thanks Jan for your response
I will try to work it out. Would it be easier to export the ssrs reports to html and import them into jsreport then add the datasource and js logic

I don't know, I don't have experience there.
However, I guess the SSRS output will be a crazy messy html/css that will be hard to maintain.
You better outsource someone to code your report in quality CSS which you just make dynamic with handlebars.
