Report Data Pane

Use the Report Data pane to view the currently defined parameters, data sources, datasets, field collections, and images in your report. The Report Data pane displays a hierarchical view of the items that represent data in your report. The top level nodes represent built-in fields, parameters, images, and data source references. Expand each node to view the data items. For example, when you expand a data source node, the datasets in the data source that are already bound to the report appear. When you expand a dataset, its field collection appears. Drag items to the report design surface to link data with report items on the report page.

Options
