What is the purpose of hiding?
It is highly suggested to hide rather than delete, as this latter could alter submits/reports.
Deleting will completely remove the subject of deletion from the database, whilst hiding will simply remove it from the list to be displayed.
Maintaining a more organized and up-to-date view for the user.

The effects of hiding
Hiding User Groups
User Groups will not be displayed in the GROUP list.
Users can still be found in the USERS list and the search box.
Users will not appear to be a part of the hidden group via the Users 'Groups tab.



Show hidden groups
Hiding User Group from the login page (Legacy login)
Disable the “Show hidden groups” option in the User Manager if you do not want to have hidden Groups displayed.

By default, User Groups are hidden from the login page and can be made visible by enabling the "Show on login page".
”
It will prevent the user from narrowing down the login search to their specific User Group.

Hiding Users
Users of LearningSpace can be made ‘Inactive’ in the User Manager if their status at the institution is no longer active. (E.g. Students might withdraw after a semester or drop out after their first year, etc.)
The easiest way to make users in a specific group inactive is through the Batch User Create tool.
When deactivated,
the Learners’ names do not appear in the list of available learners in the Recording module;
these Learners cannot be evaluated;
these Learners cannot log into the LearningSpace system.
For information about Inactive Learners go here.
Hiding Cases
Can still do data entry if a hidden Case is in a currently running Activity.
Hidden Cases will still appear in reports if the Activity is running.

Hiding Sections
Hiding Sections will not hide them from data entry but from being displayed in the reports.
A hidden Section will not be counted in the Case total score.

Hiding Activities
Activity will be removed completely from the Activity list unless 'Show hidden activities' is enabled.
To search for a hidden Activity, 'Show hidden activities' must also be enabled.
Hidden Activities will prevent learner data entry (even for running activities)

Hidden Activity

Hiding Records
Individual Checklist: Hiding a learner’s record will remove their grade and not count in scoring.


NOTE: Hidden records can still be transferred to other LearningSpace users:

Hiding Scored Learners
During OEQS evaluation, Learners already scored by the evaluator can be hidden to make further evaluations more fluent.


Scoring page not displaying hidden learners
Hide Panels
During OEQS evaluation, Sections already scored by the evaluator can be hidden for better utilization of space.

The effects of hiding Submit
Learner Submits: Hiding a submission will remove the submitted checklist, which will not count in the Activity Total Score. It will appear as ‘No Data’.
SP data submits: Hiding a submit will remove the submitted checklists, and it will not count against the Learner in the Activity Total Score. It will appear as 'No Data'.
Only a user with Admin or Report Reviewer Full control privileges can see a hidden section in the reports.
If you hide a submit, the learner will not see that submit in the Individual Checklist report (if the report is made available for the students).
However, if you hide the entire record, the learner will still see the individual submitted within that record, even if the entire record is hidden.
If you want to hide the submits from the learners, you need to hide them individually and not only hide the entire record.
Hiding submits and hiding the entire record works the same way in score calculation: the score of a hidden submit does not count in the overall score, and if the entire record is hidden, scores of all submit (SP, FON, Learner) within that record will be ignored in score calculation.
Hiding SP & FON and Simulator names on Video review
The ‘Show SP and FON names on video review’ and ‘Show simulator names on video review’ options -available on the System manager’s General tab - removes names from the Faculty's view.

By default, SP & FON names are not shown to Learners during Video Review.
