how to hide the 'File' column in the Render Tool?

Hello,

 

I'm trying to hide a column in the Rendor tool that is necessary so that it can output to individual files.  I have changed the background and font color to White but when you open the excel file you can click on the cell and it displays the file path which may be a security concern.  Any tips here?

Hi @sammyb84 

 

Are you using a table tool prior to render tool? If so, you can deselect the filename from your table so that it isn't in the table itself, and then only use it when grouping your files in the render tool. Alternatively, you can use the output tool and change the filename based on a field and there is a checkbox to include the field in your output or not.

Hi @kathleenmonks,

 

Yes! Ok I was thinking that I needed that in the Per column config but just keeping it in the Grouping works too!

Thanks for the solution!
