"This support settles" What does this mean?

    I've to do the structural analysis of a load of different beams and frames but one of them has a support that looks like a normal, pinned support on rollers but it has a note beside it saying that it settles. I've never heard of this before. How should I treat it? Does it give the normal upwards reaction but allow for a small amount of downwards deflection?
