About Showing and Hiding Objects

Over time, objects may become obsolete or no longer require active management. To reduce the visual clutter, you can hide objects so that they are not shown in tables or displayed by CLI commands. This feature allows you to keep objects active in the system without needing to view them.

Objects that can be hidden include the following.

• Components

• Plans

• Hosts

• Host sets

• Host searches

• Host types

• Users

When you hide objects, you can still view them on the object's main page by selecting the show hidden option. For example, if you want to view hidden hosts, you can go to the Hosts page and click Show Hidden Hosts. Hidden hosts will display in a different row color.
