ParameterGroup

The ParameterGroup element creates a visual grouping of parameters. The report developer controls the order that groups appear in the UI, and the order in which parameters appear in the group. A run-time UI may choose to allow the user to expand and collapse parameter groups independently.

ParameterGroup properties

The following sections describe the properties of the ParameterGroup element.

helpText

Additional pop-up help text associated with the group. Use this text to explain the purpose of the group, or provide overall explanation of how a set of parameters work together. The help text can be localized.

helpTextID

A resource ID for this value, used for externalizing the value of this string.

startExpanded

A boolean value that determines whether the group should start expanded in the UI, or start collapsed. If the UI can expand and collapse groups, then the UI should assume that groups appear in collapsed form by default. Use this attribute to cause the group to appear expanded by default instead. Ignored if the UI does not support group expand and collapse.

ParameterGroup slot

The following slot is the only slot in the ParameterGroup element.

parameters

The set of parameters that appear inside the group. Parameters appear in the user interface in the same order that they appear in this list.
