Remarks
DataElementOutput controls which report item data appears when a report is rendered by a data-only renderer (CSV or XML).
The DataElementOutput element contains one of the values listed in the following table.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
Output |
Indicates the item appears in the output. |
NoOutput |
Indicates the item should not appear in the output. |
ContentsOnly |
Applies to XML only. Indicates the item does not appear in the XML, but the contents of the item are rendered as part of the containing report item. ContentsOnly can only be used with lists. |
Auto |
If the item is a text box with a constant value, such as a label, the item does not appear (NoOutput). If the item is a rectangle, the output is the same as it is for ContentsOnly. For all other report items, the item appears in the output (Output). |
When used as a child of Grouping or DataPoint, the DataElementOutput element can only contain Output or NoOutput.
