# Introduction to Elements in XML Reports

### General

Elements can be used to add content to a [Template](/release34/docs/templates-xml) when a report document is created from the report.

          
          

> **Example:** If you want to add the result of an [Expression](/release34/docs/introduction-to-mail-and-deploy-expressions) to a report document, you can use an [Expression Element](/release34/docs/expression-elements-xml) and reference it within the [Template](/release34/docs/templates-xml).

### Element Types

XML Reports support the following element types:

| Type | Description |
| --- | --- |
| [Condition Element](/release34/docs/condition-elements-xml) | This type of element can be used to only include the portion of a [Template](/release34/docs/templates-xml) in the report document based on a condition. |
| [Expression Element](/release34/docs/expression-elements-xml) | This type of element can be used to insert the result (such as a numeric, text, or date-time value) of an [Expression](/release34/docs/introduction-to-mail-and-deploy-expressions) into the report document. |
| [Repeater Element](/release34/docs/repeater-elements-xml) | This type of element can be used to repeat the portion of a [Template](/release34/docs/templates-xml) in the report document. |
