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
