Hide a folder

You can hide a folder from users of applications (such as Workplace and Application Integration), or unhide a previously hidden folder, using Enterprise Manager. When you hide a folder using this procedure, the documents, custom objects, and folders that are contained in the folder can still be found by a search.

To hide or unhide a folder

  1. Right-click the folder you want to hide or unhide and select Properties.
  2. Select the Properties tab.
  3. Select the All Properties check box preceding the property grid.
  4. Scroll down the Property Name list until you find IsHiddenContainer. The Property Value of this property is either True or False:
  5. Use the down arrow in the Property Value cell to change the value of the property depending on whether you want the folder hidden.
  6. Click OK when you are done.

NOTE  The Enterprise Manager root folder does not appear in applications such as Workplace XT or Application Integration. Hiding the root folder in these applications is due to internal logic and is not based on the value of IsHiddenContainer property of the root folder.
