Report Item Overview
The Report item is a special item that hosts report items placed in report sections.
The Report is a descendant of Data Item and as such exposes filtering, grouping, and sorting.
The Report is the Data Item at the highest hierarchical level. This means that it doesn't have a parent data scope, hence the ReportItem.DataObject Global Object is undefined/null on its surface and cannot be used in the Filtering Rules and Grouping and Sorting Expressions. The Expressions in the Bindings and Conditional Formattings cannot use Fields and ReportItem.DataObject Global Objects for the same reason.
For more information on the specific structure of the Report item, refer to the article about the report structure.
