Description

Suppress missing blocks

(Rows only) Improves the performance of the Suppress missing data setting when suppressing a large number of rows, for example, 90% or more. The Suppress missing blocks setting can degrade performance if few or no rows are suppressed. Test data forms before and after using this setting to determine whether performance is improved. Also test data forms whenever you make significant changes to your application.

With this setting selected, attributes may not display in data forms, certain suppressed blocks may ignore Dynamic Calc members, and row members do not display as indented.

Suppress missing data

Hides rows or columns without data. Clear to display rows or columns with “#MISSING” in cells when data is missing.
