Writer instructions
Purpose	Use this page to display a banner announcement on each page of the space. Create the Space announcements page in the master space, outside of the Home branch. You can version the Space announcements page to enable different banners to be published into different target spaces, however, the banner that is displayed in the versioned (master) space itself only displays the most recently-published banner. If you find errors in the banner area of your versioned space and you are sure the Space announcements page is set up correctly, try publishing the page to the same space. For more information, see Space-announcements-banners.
Removing	When an announcement is no longer needed, remove the BMC Space Banner macro.
Translation	Localized spaces using the L10n Viewport theme must change the name of this page to Space announcements l10n. See Configuring-the-Scroll-ViewPort-theme-for-translated-spaces.
Usage	Choose one or none of the following BMC Space Banner macros. If your space requires another kind of announcement, you can use this page in coordination with your team lead and editors. When should I use a space announcement banner? Use the space organization announcement after you change the content from a book-like organization (such as User Manual, Configuration Manual, and Administration Guide) to the product model. Use the latest version announcement to push traffic to later versions. You do not need to add this to every previous version, but if you have a specific reason that you want users to be aware—for example, Google searches show content for an obsolete version—use the banner to help users find a relevant version. When an announcement is no longer needed, remove the BMC Space Banner macro.

Type HIDE in the COMMAND field, place the cursor on the desired column data, and press Enter.

Columns remain hidden until you execute the RESET command (see RESET-RES).

column-name

Name of the column to be hidden. You can enter partial column names. If more than one column name matches the criteria, the window in Column Selection window displays the matching columns. See Partial-Column-Names for more information. Specify multiple column names separated with a blank.

HIDE Command Window

The HIDE command window (see the following figure) lists each column in its initial display order and the column’s status. It displays when you enter HIDE with no parameters. One or more columns can be hidden, held, or reset from the display.

Press Enter on this screen to process the commands and exit the window. Press END to cancel the HIDE command and exit the window.
