Activating Hide mode

Hide mode allows users to hide register items from view.

About Hide mode

Hide mode provides users the ability to hide register items that have been created in error.  Hiding register items restricts visibility of register items to only those users who have the Hide mode permission. Hide mode is available to users with the 'Hide items' user permission.

Users with an Action licence or greater can be assigned the 'Hide items' permission which will activate Hide mode in a users account.

Selecting Hide mode will display the Hide column in all registers.

Hiding an item has the following impact:

1. Other users cannot see the item - only users with Hide mode activated can see the item.

2. Tasks relating to the item are terminated and hidden.

3. Further work actions are halted.

4. The item cannot be opened. 

Assigning Hide mode permission

Hide mode is available to users who have been granted the permission 'Hide items'.  It can be assigned via a Role or assigned directly to a user account via user permissions.
