What this feature is for
This feature lets you hide the full parent tree above a selected company inside a view.
This can be useful when you want to:
- Focus on a specific part of the structure
- Simplify the view for a presentation or export
- Remove higher-level parent entities that are not relevant for your audience
- Create a cleaner version of the structure without changing the underlying data
Important to know
Before you start, keep these points in mind:
- This feature works in a view
- It does not change the master structure
- It hides the parents of the selected entity
- It does not automatically hide siblings or unrelated companies
- You may want to do some additional clean-up in the view afterwards
How to hide all parents of an entity
- Open the relevant company and go to Legal entity structure
- Open the view where you want to make the change
- Enter edit mode
- Click on the entity whose parents you want to hide
- If the entity has parents, choose the option to hide parents
- The parent tree above that entity will now be hidden in that specific view
What stays visible
When you use hide parents:
- The selected entity stays visible
- The parent entities above it are hidden
- Siblings and unrelated entities are not automatically hidden
This means the feature helps remove the parent chain, but you may still need to adjust other elements in the view depending on the result you want.
When to use this feature
This feature is especially useful when you want to:
- Show only the relevant part of a larger structure
- Focus on a subsidiary or lower-level entity
- Prepare a simplified structure for internal or external sharing
- Reduce visual noise in complex structures
Best practice
Use this feature in a dedicated view when you need a simplified version of the structure for a specific audience or use case.
If you need a more polished result, combine hide parents with other view edits to clean up any remaining visible entities that are no longer relevant.
FAQ
Does this change the underlying structure?
No. This only changes what is shown in the selected view. The underlying structure remains unchanged.
Does it hide siblings too?
No. It hides the parent tree of the selected entity, but not siblings or unrelated companies.
Do I need to repeat this in other views?
Yes. This is a view-specific change, so it only applies to the view where you made it.
