Hello Friends,
There are situations when you need to hide the files generated by Pentaho.
Pentaho by default generates three types of files to be displayed in Pentaho User console:
.cda - The data access file, which is of no use to business user
.cdfde - Framework File, again of no use to be business user
.wcdf - Dashboard file, which you most likely need to keep
Use case: When you give a multiple dashboards to business user, he should be able to see only the dashboard files. Something like the image below:
To achieve this go as admin -> browse files -> select a file -> click on properties -> hidden
To show the hidden files, go as admin, click on Menu-> show hidden files as show:
