The Report Explorer's toolbar provides buttons with tool tips. These buttons let you expand or collapse
your report's tree view and choose the report items to display by type:

Expand
Use this option to expand all child nodes of the tree view under the selected node. If you select this
option while the root node is highlighted, all remaining nodes are expanded. If you select this option
while a child node is highlighted, only the nodes that are part of the child are expanded.
Note:
This option has no effect if selected while a report object is highlighted, or if the selected node has
no children.

fields, and text objects.
