Description

suppressIfDuplicate has an effect only for visual components that are in a report. If true, it suppresses the rendering of the component if its display value is the same as the previous time it was rendered in the same report, even if the previous time was in another group in the report.

Use suppressIfDuplicate to eliminate duplicating the same data value over and over again for multiple rows in a report. For example, you may have information sorted by date. With suppressIfDuplicate set to true, each date will be rendered only once.

By default suppressIfDuplicate is false. You can also use the component’s canRender event to suppress rendering.
