Grouping and Sorting Properties - Data Output Tab (Visual Studio Report Designer)
Use the Data Output tab of the Grouping and Sorting Properties dialog box to define XML data output options for the group. Setting the values in this tab adds metadata to the client report definition (.rdlc) file that is used to render the report in XML. Because the XML rendering extension is only available in server reports, the data output properties that you specify will only be effective if you later convert the .rdlc file to the .rdl format. For more information about converting reports, see Converting RDL and RDLC Files.
