Hi, does anyone know what hidden tables are? Also, is there a way to unhide them?


Thank you in advance! :)

Hi Gustavo
It seems you have found the way to unhide the tables yourself - the list on the left (Currency Exchange, Next Steps, Params) are the tables that are hidden and the way to unhide them is to filter for Hidden tables in the Project Explorer.
The hidden tables are out-of-the-box system tables.
I hope I have answered your question - if not, please let me know.

Hi @Rene Norskov - Thank you for the answer. Now I know how to unhide them!

This leads me to another question: is there a way to hide a table, or since this is an OOTB system feature it's not possible?

I guess what I'm trying to find out is if there is a way to move a table out or into the "hidden" category in the project explorer.

Regards!​​

Hi Gustavo
It's not possible to hide/unhide tables.
You can use the existing categories and create new categories to organise documents/table.
I'm not sure what your use case is, but if you want to tuck away a particular document, you may want to place it in a different category to your other documents. Perhaps in a category at the very bottom of the list e.g. "zz Last Category".

Hi @Rene Norskov - Thank you! It's clear now. I was just trying to understand what the purpose of having hidden tables was, and if there was a way to hide/unhide them. Both questions were answered with your replies, so I appreciate it! Have a great day.​​
