Hide Description column, hide Settings column

[richjoh]

Is there a way to hide (not show) the Step Description column and the Step Setting Columns?  This looks like (too much) debug info and I need it to go away or hide it.  TestStand 2020.

OK, I found a way to remove/hide the columns of interest.

A first time for everything.

This setting is saved in LocalAppData in SeqEdit.xml - just in case you need to copy this setting.

Thanks. Excellent tip since I need to deploy automated test stations.  This can be programmatically done with the installer.

Michal,

Can you make your sequence file TS version 2020.  I'm not using 2021 as yet.  

Thanks for the tip.

One more thing, I haven't found a way to make the "Step Settings" go away and don't show.  I close it, run a sequence, return to and its back.  Let me know if there is a way.

So I discovered "Step Settings" will stay out of view only if it is Resize to a line then click X to close.  When it reappears after a sequence run it will appear as a line again with the X shown.

Not a 100% solution but it is out of the way. I wanted a way to make Test Setting disappear during and after a sequence run.

I needed to do the same, but in my case I only want to hide these columns in the operator interface. For this it was straight forward to delete them from the Execution View.
