Optional Repeating section

[NAT]

Generally we can make a section optional. I want to make a repeating section
as optional . Is that possible ? Hoe can I acheive it ?

Thanks in advance

If you created your schema in the InfoPath designer, it is already set up to be optional. You just need to double-click your repeating section and choose to allow users to add or remove that section.

If you have a custom schema developed outside of InfoPath, you will need to manually set that node to have minOccurs="0".

Thanks for ur reply. Actually where there is a option that "Allow users to
insert delete". I also see a option "Include this in form by default" in a
non repeating section section. Butin a repeating section I cannot see this
option. I have a repeating section which I do not want to include in the form
by default. Any ideas ?

Is your repeating section from the main DOM or a secondary data source? If the main data source, then it should have that option.
