Hiding Empty Folders for Views and Reports

This is an Application Setting that lets you choose whether or not you can see empty folders in the list of views and reports. Only Power users can change this setting, and it takes effect for all models in the application, for all users.

For example, if you have a long list of reports and some are organized into folders, you can hide excess empty folders.

To change the setting, Power users must do the following steps:

1. In SpotlightXL, navigate to Manage > Application Administration > Application Settings.

2. Next to Hide Empty Folders for Views and Reports in Run Mode, select Yes or No.  

   1. When set to Yes, folders with no views or reports in them will be hidden from view in the folder structure.

   2. When set to No, all folders will be visible at all times. This is the default.

3. Save your changes. You must logoff and login again to see the effects of the changed setting.
