Is the database explorer (tree) long, confusing and you never use some of it?  

Do you say, "I never use payroll in NV2.  Why does it have to be there?  

You can hide specific folders on the database explorer.  For example, let's say you do not use the payroll portion of NV2.  Then you should hide those folders that pertain to payroll.  

To do that click on the parent folder above the folder you want to hide.
In this case click on the Account folder.  In the right hand table click on the Accounts+ tab (button) and choose Folder Management.  Then click on the header of the Line column to sort by this column.  You should now have the word "Line v" as the name of the column (if you have "Line ^", click on it once more).  Go down to the row that says Payroll and click in the cell that says folder in the Type column.  Press F3 and choose hidden.  Move up off of this row and the Account, Payroll folder will disappear from the tree.  To make it appear again when and if you need it, repeat the steps above and press F3 on the cell that now says hidden, then choose folder.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

To hide the other payroll folders, now click on the Journal folder in the Database Explorer window.  In the right hand table click on the Journals+ tab (button) and choose Folder Management.  Then click on the header of the Line column to sort by this column.  You should now have the word "Line v" as the name of the column (if you have "Line ^", click on it once more).  Go down to the row that says Payroll and click in the cell that says folder in the Type column.  Press F3 and choose hidden.  Move up off of this row and the Journal, Payroll folder will disappear from the tree.  To make it appear again when and if you need it, repeat the steps above and press F3 on the cell that now says hidden, then choose folder.  

Now click on the NewViews folder in the Database Explorer window.  In the right hand table click on the Classes tab (button).  Then click on the header of the Line column to sort by this column.  You should now have the word "Line v" as the name of the column (if you have "Line ^", click on it once more).  Go down to the row that says Payroll and click in the cell that says folder in the Type column.  Press F3 and choose hidden.  Move up off of this row and the NewViews, Payroll folder will disappear from the tree.  To make it appear again when and if you need it, repeat the steps above and press F3 on the cell that now says hidden, then choose folder.  

Congratulations, you have now hidden all the folders related to Payroll in NV2 and the Database Explorer has become less daunting.
