Using Suppression Options in Flex Forms

In the form designer, the Use database suppression option is not supported; however, the Suppress missing blocks, Suppress missing data - Rows, and Suppress missing data - Columns options are supported.

Note:
Groovy rules are not supported in flex forms when suppression options are enabled.
The Suppress missing blocks, Suppress missing data - Rows, and Suppress missing data - Columns options defined in the web for a flex form are applied only when first opening the flex form in Smart View. Depending on the form definition, flex form users can enter members on columns or rows even though the suppression options are enabled in web form. Users can also enter data and submit data for the suppressed members.
If the suppression options in Smart View Options, Data Options tab, for Suppress Missing Blocks, Suppress Missing Rows, and Suppress Missing Columns are selected, they are applied to the flex form. Users can uncheck these options and then add members (by typing them on the sheet or using Member Selection), enter data, submit data, and refresh the flex form.
