Displaying Welding Power Sources to Other Users
When you’re managing the system for your company, you may need to control which Welding Power
Source entries or Group entries other users can see when they access Production Monitoring™. There are
several reasons you may need to hide a power source or group from other users. The Welding Power
Source might not be ready for welding yet, but you want to set it up in the Asset Tree. More often, you
have removed a Welding Power Source from the floor, but you still want to retain the data from that power
source. If you delete the Welding Power Source entry from Production Monitoring™, the system deletes
the data as well. Simply removing the item from public view is a safer alternative and allows you to keep
the data.
Showing an Item
To make a Group or Welding Power Source visible to other users in the main web site, click the item in
the Asset Tree to select it. Place a check mark in the Show Asset in Tree checkbox and click the Save
Changes button.

For Welding Power Source entries, you also need to make sure any Group entry that the Welding
Power Source is located under also has the Show Asset in Tree checkbox checked. If a Group is hidden
then any Welding Power Sources under it also will not display, even if there is a check mark in the
Show Asset in Tree checkbox for the Welding Power Source.
NOTE | If you recheck the Show Asset in Tree checkbox on a Group
entry, make sure you verify that all of the Welding Power
Source entries under it are also checked.
Hiding an Item
To prevent other users from seeing a Group or Welding Power Source in their Asset Tree, click the
item in the Asset Tree to select it. Remove the check mark from the Show Asset in Tree checkbox and
click the Save Changes button.
NOTE | If you remove the check mark on a Group entry, the system
removes the check mark for all entries under the Group
automatically.
