Suppressing Data in Data Forms

You can set row and column suppression options individually using the Suppress Rows and Suppress Columns options, or together, using the Suppress Lines option. For example, setting Suppress Lines to NoData has the same effect as setting both Suppress Rows and Suppress Columns to NoData. When the row and column suppression options differ, the selected option is displayed with a check mark that indicates the current setting. For example, if NoData is suppressed on rows and Zero is suppressed on columns, the Suppress Lines setting is NoData & Zero. Clicking NoData & Zero sets both row and column suppression to NoData & Zero.

Note:

To use all of the suppression options, you must be assigned the Manage Data Entry Form security role. If you are not assigned this role, only the Invalid cells suppression option is available.

To suppress data:

1. From the Document Manager, open a data form.
2. Take one or more of these actions:

   • To suppress rows, on the toolbar, click Suppress Rows, and select None, or one or more of these options: NoData, Zero, or Invalid.

   • To suppress columns, on the toolbar, click Suppress Columns and select None, or one or more of these options: NoData, Zero, or Invalid.

   • To suppress rows and columns, on the toolbar, click Suppress Lines and select None, or one or more of these options: NoData, Zero, or Invalid.

     Tip:

     Another method of selecting suppression options is to place your cursor over a row or column header, and right-click to change the row or column. To change both row and column options, place your cursor in the space at the top left of the form where the rows and columns intersect, right-click and select an option.
