    Textbox: This is a basic freeform text object that can be placed anywhere on the report body as well as the header and footer areas. The text value displayed can be static or the result of an expression.
    Line: This is just a graphic for aesthetic purposes.
    Table: This is one of the primary report items most commonly used to display data from a dataset in the standard two-dimensional table format. Cells of the table typically contain text but can also contain a variety of other report items, such as data bars, sparklines, charts, and many others.
    Matrix: This report item is based on the same underlying structure as a table except that it comes with a row group and column group already defined. Use this component when you want to display data pivoted on columns as with crosstab reports.
