Hiding items in a task pane

You can optionally hide items in a custom task pane without needing to delete them. For example, you may have an item in a task pane that is only relevant during a certain point of the planning cycle. You can toggle the item hidden when it is not needed, then toggle it visible again when it needs to be used.

You must have read-write access to the task pane in order to configure the visibility of items in the task pane.

To configure the visibility of items in a task pane:

  1. On the Axiom tab, in the Administration group, click Manage > Task Panes.

    The Axiom Explorer dialog opens, with the focus on the Task Panes Library. You can also access this library using the Explorer task pane.

    NOTE: If you are using an Axiom packaged product, you can access this feature from the Admin tab. Click System Browser to open Axiom Explorer, then navigate to the Task Panes Library. The product may also provide this functionality within a product task pane.

  2. In the Task Panes Library, right-click the task pane that you want to modify, and then select Configure Visibility.

  3. In the Configure Item Visibility dialog, clear the check box for any item that you want to hide, and/or select the check box for any item that you want to show.

    If an item is hidden using this dialog, it is hidden for all users. The only way to show it again is to configure the item as visible using this dialog. If an item is visible, the normal visibility behavior for task pane items applies. Depending on the user's security permissions and on the task pane configuration, a visible item may be visible and enabled, visible and disabled, or not visible.

  4. Click OK to save your changes.

You must log out and log back in to see the full effects of any visibility changes. Some items may update within the current session, but others require the client to be restarted.
