A project's visibility does not only result from one single factor, but form the interaction of several.
In order to hide certain projects in end media there are different options:
With the help of following points the interaction shall be clarified.
Projects with removed publication mark (display of gray globe
) are always hidden in end media (independently of their QA status). (This does not concern the local state; a setting on "hidden" just happens during the cip generation.)
This especially applies for projects with QA status 1 to 4, because for these status the publication mark cannot be set at all (so display of gray globe
).
Project visible (black font) + Publication marker set (
)
Project hidden (red font) + publication marker set (
)
Hidden projects are always invisible in end media, even if the publication mark ( = green globe
) is set.
Project in a hidden folder (red font)
Link projects are used, for example, to access one and the same original project with different table filters. (Details on this can be found under Section 5.8.2.1.3, “ New link ” -> Table restriction [Restricted display] ) The original project is (usually) hidden (red font).
Original project hidden (red font), link project
visible (black font)
Original project (black font) in hidden folder ( red font) (which means it is also hidden), link project
visible (black font)
Original project hidden (red font), link project
not visible (although not hidden = black font), as its parent directory is hidden (red font)
Original project and link project
not visible (although not hidden = black font), because their parent directories are hidden (red font)

For a better understanding what will really appear in end media, it is also important to know further contexts in regard to publication and partial publication. See Section 6.10.5, “ Generate QA status.. | Publish live stand.. ” and Section 6.10.6, “Partial Publication ”. |
