Suppress a Data Issue

Use this activity to suppress a known data issue from the Data Issues form. Suppressing a data issue removes it from the list of active data health issues. It does not fix the underlying issue in the source data. To reactivate a suppressed issue later, see Activate a Suppressed Data Issue. For guidance on when it is appropriate to suppress a known issue, see Data Health Issue Guidance.
