Hide Unused Report Types

If your users use only a subset of the available standard report types, you can hide the ones they don’t need.

Required Editions

Available in: Group, Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
Available in: Enhanced Folder Sharing
User Permissions Needed
To hide unused reports:
Enhanced Folder Sharing
Manage Custom Report Types
  1. On the Reports tab, click New Report.
  2. Select Select Report Types to Hide.
    The green check mark next to a report means it’s visible to everyone.
  3. To hide the report type, click the check mark to change it to an X.
Create Report dialog showing how to hide report types

Hidden report types don’t show up when you use the search box on the Create New Report page.

If you hide all the report types in a folder, the folder is also hidden. However, if you later unhide the report type in the “Select Report Types to Hide” dialog box, users can see the folder.
