Don't allow form to be released from device

In some situations forms are used on the device to display information eg project documents or contact information but no data is being collected (entered). In this case ticking this box will ensure that the form is not sent back to the server.

Send interim reports whenever form is saved In some situations forms are used on the device to display information eg project documents or contact information but no data is being collected (entered). In this case ticking this box will ensure that the form is not sent back to the server.
Only load pages when required (useful on very large forms with many pages)

By default all pages on a form are loaded when a form is opened. For a typical form it wouldn’t be noticeable to the user whether or not the pages are all being loaded. However a form with 50 or 60 pages may have a noticeable delay whilst loading. Use this option to remove this initial delay – instead pages will be loaded as and when they are accessed by the user.

Note that some pages (eg those involving calculations) may force themselves to be loaded regardless of whether this option has been selected.
