Keep your printing workflow clean and focused by controlling which templates appear in Katana's print menus.


Why hide templates?

If you have many print templates — especially custom ones — you can streamline your workflow by hiding unused templates from the dropdown menus. This makes it easier for your team to find the right ones without clutter.

Note: Hiding a template doesn’t delete it. You can still edit or reactivate it anytime.


How to hide or show a template

  1. Screenshot showing where the print templates section is located in settings

  2. Find the “Visible” column
    Each row represents a template for a specific document type (e.g. sales order, purchase order).

  3. Toggle the checkbox

    • Checked = visible in print menus

    • Unchecked = hidden from print menus

What changes in the app?

After hiding a template, it won’t appear in the Print dropdown when you open a document (like a sales order or manufacturing order). Only visible templates will be shown to users.

Example of a print menu after hiding certain templates:
