Report Definition XML Elements

[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

The report definition for a report contains RDL elements that define the data and appearance of the report.

A report definition (.rdl) file can contain additional elements that are not used by the report server. For example, Report Designer places an element in the report definition that is only used by Report Designer.
