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 (Default)	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. If the item is a data region, the item appears if it is part of a dynamic member or a static member with a header (Output). The item does not appear if it is a static member without a header (ContentsOnly). For all other report items, the item appears in the output (Output).
