Elements can be used to add content to a Template when a report document is created from the report.

Example: If you want to add a bar chart from a Datasource to a report document, you can use a Chart Element and reference it within the Template.

Microsoft Word Reports support the following element types:

Name	header

Condition Element	This type of element can be used to only include the portion of a Template (such as specific rows or worksheets) in the report document based on a condition.
Expression Element	This type of element can be used to insert the result (such as a numeric, text, or date-time value) of an Expression into the report document.
Image Element	This type of element can be used to insert an external image that is loaded from a local or UNC file path or web URL into the report document.
