To Hide Assets from a ViewApp Navigation Model

1. Open the System Platform IDE and show the list of assets in the Model view at the lower left of the IDE.

2. If necessary, undeploy the child asset to be hidden.

3. Right-click the asset to show the shortcut menu.

4. Select the Rename Alias option from the menu.

5. Type an underscore character ( _ ) as the first character of the asset's alias name and click OK.
