Miscellaneous
The Miscellaneous category holds the document map, bookmark, custom attributes, and custom style properties of the line report item.
Document Map
A document map is a navigational feature that displays a separate side pane with a set of navigational links in a hierarchical structure when you view a report. Users click an entry in the list to navigate to the report page that displays that item. To configure a document map in the report design, see the Document Map section.
You can set static or dynamic text as the value of the document map property. To set and reset dynamic text, see the Set Expression and Reset Expression sections.
Bookmark
Bookmark links let users navigate to different parts of an SSRS report. You can add bookmarks to each textbox, image, table, or chart, or to the unique group values displayed in a tablix, to direct users to specified locations in the report. The bookmark value can be your own string or an expression. To configure a bookmark in the report design, see the Bookmark section.
Custom attributes
The custom attributes property sets the values of line report item custom properties. To create and assign values to custom properties in the properties panel, see the Custom Properties section.
Custom Style
The Custom Style property lets you use external CSS to style report items, giving more flexibility than the built-in styling options. Use this property to meet specific design requirements and keep styling consistent across multiple reports. For a step-by-step guide on setting up custom styles in your report, see the How To section of this guide.
