Best Practices for Hiding Columns in a Statement

You can edit the column properties to hide a column in the category or statement summary page. When you hide a column, the data that the column would display isn't included in summary or detail tables or graphs.

Hiding Columns

You can hide:

• Unused or not applicable columns, such as the worker contribution column in a cash compensation category

• Description columns

You can show a category's row in the statement even when it contains only zero values. However, you should show at least the Description column and enter an explanation, otherwise viewers see only a row of zeros. You can't hide all columns in a category if you configure the category level of details to show all details on a single category overview page.
