# Hide Entity

| ## Step Details |
| --- |
| **Introduced in Version** | 4.0.0 |
| **Last Modified in Version** | 5.0.0 |
| **Location** | Database |

The **Hide Entity** step hides any entity that exists within the Decisions platform that is part of the Entity framework. Hiding affects how the entity appears in folder listings and folder views. It does **not** delete the entity, its configuration, or any associated data.

**Note:**Hidden items may still appear for users who have access to views or reports configured to include hidden items (for example, folder views that show “all items with hidden”).

## Properties

#### Inputs

| Property Name | Description | Data Type |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Entity Id | The ID of the Entity | String |

#### Behavior

- This step toggles an entity’s visible/hidden state within its parent folder.
- The hidden state is not a security control. Users may still see hidden items if their folder view or report is configured to include hidden items.
- To hide multiple entities, run this step in a loop or iterate over a list of Entity IDs.
