"Folder" column in new and existing Queries

"Folder" column in new and existing Queries A. Tyrell  2015-02-16 11:49
Status: Closed
 
After upgrading to 14.3, we have noticed that when creating new queries, the Folder column is being added to the output once the query is saved. Our current workaround is to simply hide the column using a Customized view.

However, we have many existing queries, where this "Folder" column has been added. Is there a way to turn off or hide the Folder column globally so it is not affecting our existing queries and reports.

Hi Alicia,

I'm still trying to find a global way to disable/hide that folder column, but rather than you customizing the view, what you can do to hide that folder column is to edit the metadata while you're creating the query and uncheck the "Grid" option under the Additional Properties section when you select Folder. (see screenshot)

If we don't have a global way to disable/hide that option, I will create a bug ticket to have the default uncheck the "Grid" option in a future build.

Regards,

Jon

Hi Alicia,

So it looks like there isn't a global feature to disable the Folder from coming up for newly created queries as a column.

I've created a bug ticket asking to have the behavior changed to where the "Grid" option is unchecked by default under that Folder metadata option when a new query is made.
