Hiding Columns
Sometimes you want to keep a column in your configuration (for reference or formula use) but not show it in the main view. Hiding columns keeps them configured but invisible.
Hiding a Column​
Right-click a column header → Hide Column.
The column disappears. Its data is still present in memory.
Showing Hidden Columns​
Right-click any visible column header → Show Hidden Columns. All hidden columns reappear.
Difference from Removing a Column​
| Hide | Remove (via Column Picker) |
|---|---|
| Column stays in configuration | Column is removed from config |
| Still available for formula references | No longer accessible |
| Data loaded from Frappe | Data not loaded |
| Quick to show/hide | Requires reopening column picker |
Use hide when you temporarily don't want to see a column but may want it back soon. Use remove when you never want to see that field.
