Type a name for the text box. The name must be unique within the report.
- Tooltip
Type a ToolTip or an expression that evaluates to a ToolTip. Click the expression (fx) button to edit the expression. The value of ToolTip will appear when the user pauses the pointer over the text box in an HTML report. Other rendering extensions can use this value in different ways.
- Repeat report item with data region on every page
Choose this option to show the text box with a data region each time the data region appears on a page. This is useful for headings or descriptive text that should appear with the data region on each page of the report.

Type or select the data region with which to repeat the text box on every page that the data region appears.

Type the value of the text box. This can be a field expression, other expression, or label. Click the expression (fx) button to edit the expression.
- Hide duplicates
Choose this option to display only the first instance of a value when the text box repeats in a data region. For example, if a dataset returns the same product name for several rows, only the first instance of the product name appears.
- Containing group or dataset
Type a group or dataset, or an expression that evaluates to a group or dataset, in which to hide duplicate names. Click the expression (fx) button to edit the expression.
