Suppression Dialog |
The Suppression dialog, accessible from the Transforms tab of the Data Source property page, allows
The Suppression dialog contains the following components:
Do not suppress. When enabled, always prints the selected data source.
Suppress when previous data source is empty. When enabled, avoids printing the selected data source when the previous data source in the object contains no data. If there is no other data source attached to the object, the object will print as normal.
Suppress when next data source is empty. When enabled, avoids printing the selected data source when the next data source in the object contains no data. If there is no other data source attached to the object, the object will print as normal.
Suppress when specified data source meets condition. When enabled, does not print the selected data source when another specified data source meets a condition. Use this option in situations where there will be only one single condition that controls the print status. This option contains the following components:
Data Source. Contains a list of all the data sources and database fields available in the document. Named data sources are preceded by the icon, while database fields are distinguished by the icon. If you are using a data source that is within the same object, you can use the Next Data Source or Previous Data Source selections.
Operator. Contains available operators. An operator determines the desired relationship between the data source and the value in a conditional expression. For more information on how these operators work and the operators available, refer to Overview of Conditional Printing.
Value. Specifies the conditional value. When Is Empty or Is Not Empty is selected from the Operator dropdown list, the Value field will be hidden.
Suppress when the following expression is true. When enabled, allows you to specify a complex conditional statement to determine when the selected data source will print. This option is ideal for situations that require more than one condition. For more information how to create an expression using operators and conditional joiners, see Building Conditional Expressions.
Manage Named Data Sources. Opens the Named Data Sources dialog, where you can create, modify, and remove named data sources from your document.
