# Data Suppression The Data Suppression section in the Settings page allows organizations to define and update their suppression rules, specifically through configuring the N-Size threshold. This setting safeguards sensitive data and ensures that individual identities are protected in datasets by suppressing data in small population groups. To access the Data Suppression page, select the **Data Suppression** category on the Settings page.

The Data Suppression section is highlighted, providing options to protect sensitive data using configurable suppression rules. — Data Suppression Category in Settings

## Configure Suppression Rules Follow the steps below to configure the suppression rules by setting your organization’s N-Size threshold. ### **Step 1. Select Edit on Data Suppression Page** On the Data Suppression page, select **Edit**. This will display the N-Size field, allowing you to configure the suppression threshold.

The Data Suppression page allows users to configure suppression rules. The Edit button is highlighted in the upper right corner, allowing users to modify the N-Size suppression settings for their organization. — Edit Button on Data Suppression Page

### **Step 2. Define N-Size** Enter a value into the N-Size field. The N-Size determines the minimum N size required for data to be displayed without suppression. {% hint style="warning" %} **Impact on Published Reports:** Changing the N-Size threshold will not automatically update published reports. To apply the updated suppression rules, you must unpublish the affected reports, apply the changes, and republish them. This ensures that the new N-Size threshold is reflected in your reports. {% endhint %}

The Data Suppression page displays the N-Size configuration settings, allowing users to define their organization's suppression threshold. The highlighted text field contains the value 30, indicating the current N-Size threshold. — N-Size Field

### **Step 3. Select Save** Once the field is defined: 1. Select **Save**.

### **Step 4. Select Close** After saving your changes, select the **Close** button to exit edit mode. This action will collapse and hide the N-Size field while keeping you on the Data Suppression page.
