Visualization Rules and Hidden Data

Depending on how your form was built, it may contain visualization rules that result in fields being hidden/displaying based on entries made in other fields. Sometimes a field may display and data entered into it, and later hidden based on edits to other fields. When a field with data is hidden, the hidden data will not appear on the Report or Data Extracts. However, this data will be retained in case the conditions are met later for the field to be exposed again.
