Showing and Hiding Widgets
There are two ways to make widgets disappear, and one rule decides which wins.
- Hide All is global — one click hides every widget on every page. The button lives in the sidebar (and is mirrored at the bottom of the customize panel).
- Per-widget toggles are per-page — flip a single widget off in the customize panel for the current page.
When the two disagree, Hide All wins: turn it on and individual switches don't matter until you turn it back off.
If you turn Hide All on, no widgets show up — even ones whose per-widget switch is on. To bring a widget back you have to turn Hide All off first, then check that the widget's own switch is on for the page you're viewing.
Hide All from the sidebar
The fastest way to clear every widget at once is the eye icon in the left sidebar, near the bottom, just above the pin button.
Click it once and every widget area on every page collapses to nothing. The icon switches from an open eye to a closed (eye-off) shape and turns brand-blue to show the toggle is on.
Click again to bring widgets back.
Hide All from the customize panel
The same toggle is mirrored at the bottom of the customize panel. Whichever entry point you use, the two stay in sync — turn it on from the sidebar and the panel footer button immediately reads "Show All Widgets."
The button next to it, Reset to Default, is a different control. Reset reverts your layout to your role's preset on every page. See Presets.
The setting is global
Hide All affects every surface that hosts widgets — All Jobs, Analytics, Action Queue, and every Job Detail tab. There is no per-page Hide All. If you want to clear a single page's widgets without touching the others, use per-widget toggles or a section collapse instead.
Even with Hide All on, the page header gear icon stays visible. The sidebar Eye icon stays visible too. You can never get into a state where there's no way back.
Hiding individual widgets
To hide a single widget on the current page:
- Click the gear icon in the page header.
- Find the widget's row in the panel.
- Flip the switch beside the widget name to off.
The widget disappears from that page's grid. Flip the switch back on to bring it back. The full panel walkthrough — including the width picker, the eligibility list, and the divider for "available on other pages" — lives on Widget Settings Panel.
Per-widget toggles only affect the current page
A widget can be available on more than one surface. Hiding the Vendor Pareto on All Jobs leaves it visible on Analytics. The "which widgets are on" list is stored separately for each surface.
If you hide a widget from the customize panel on All Jobs, that widget can still appear on Analytics, Action Queue, or Job Detail wherever it's eligible. To hide it everywhere at once, use Hide All instead.
Your layout is preserved
Hide All doesn't reset anything. Your widget order, your widths, your per-widget collapse states, and any pinned controls all survive. Turn Hide All back off — or flip the per-widget switches back on — and your layout reappears exactly as you left it.
The same is true of per-widget toggles. Switch a widget off, switch it back on, and its width and collapse state return unchanged.
When to use which
| Scenario | Use |
|---|---|
| "I want a clean view of just the data table below the widgets." | Hide All from the sidebar. |
| "This widget is noisy on this page but I still want it on other pages." | The per-widget toggle in the gear panel for this page. |
| "I'm fine with this page's widgets but want to fold them away for now." | Section collapse — see collapsing widget sections. |
| "I picked the wrong layout entirely and want my role's default back." | Reset to Default — see Presets. |
