Procedure: How to Check for Duplicate Values

When creating a dynamic list of values for a report, you may remove duplicate values from input controls. This is useful if you are using your own procedure that does not use a structured data source.

The Check for duplicate values option is turned off by default.

  1. From the HTML canvas, create an input control with a dynamic list of values.
  2. Select the input control and click the Parameters tab.

    The Settings panel opens for the input control.

  3. Select the Check for duplicate values check box.

    The Check for duplicate values option is only available when creating a dynamic list of values for an input control.

  4. Close the Settings panel to save your selection.
  5. Save and run the HTML page.

    The input control removes duplicate value entries.

    The following example shows a list box with a list of city values.
