Remarks

The value for the HideDuplicates element is the name of a dataset or grouping. When the value of HideDuplicates is the name of a dataset, all duplicates of a text box value are hidden. When the value of HideDuplicates is the name of a grouping, each time there is a new instance of the group, the first instance of the text box is displayed, even if the value is the same as the value from the last instance of the text box from the previous group instance. Duplicates are not hidden in the first row of a group or page. If the text box is in a table or matrix cell, the text box in the cell is displayed, but the text is hidden.
