Hiding Analyses

You can hide an Analysis.

Use the following procedure:

From any Analysis List Panel, select the Analysis you want to hide.
Right-click the Analysis and select either Globally Hide Analysis or Locally Hide Analysis from the context menu (or select these same choices from the Edit menu).

The selected Analysis is no longer displayed in the Analysis list. If you chose to hide the Analysis locally, it is still visible to other Console users. If you are a master operator, you can hide an Analysis globally, to have it also hidden from all non-master users.

Items that are hidden are still available and you can restore or unhide them at any time. Here is how:

Click the Show Hidden Content icon in the Console toolbar.
Right-click the Analysis you want to restore and select the appropriate action from the pop-up menu. You can unhide or switch the hiding scope between global and local.
