2. Hide fields in apps
The following video shows you how to hide fields in apps. In particular, we will hide the UID field, since users don't need to see this; but this technique works for any field that you want to hide.
Now do this for yourself in your app. To recap the steps in the video:
- In the top view (the grid view), open the configuration form for the stream view
- Open the configuration form for the
UID
field - Click the Hidden flag
- Save your changes - you will see the effect in the app straightaway
- In the lower view (the edit form) click in the outer area around the
UID
field - this field is composed of several components, including the label ("UID") and the field itself (the grey box) - make sure you select the outer area so that all components are included, otherwise you will leave some components still showing on the screen - In the configuration form for the area, open the section Style Properties and click Hidden
- Save your changes
- To see the effect of this on the app, refresh the dashboard
To move the remaining fields up the form:
- Select the first field
- Select the other fields in turn, using ctrl-[mouse click]
- When all are selected, drag them up in the form
