Limiting shrinking, growing, and empty sections

You can improve the speed at which a document is executed by not allowing document sections to automatically shrink and grow, and by hiding empty document sections.

A document can automatically shrink or grow a given section depending on how much data is returned from the data warehouse. A document will also display all sections of a document, even sections that are empty, unless empty sections are hidden. Both of these processes take time for the system to perform during document execution.

To disable shrinking and growing, edit a document. In the Properties dialog box, on the Layout tab, clear the Can Shrink and Can Grow check boxes.

To hide empty document sections, edit a document. In the Properties dialog box, on the Layout tab, select the Hide if Empty check box.
