    Primo allows you to hide columns in the following My Account lists: Loans, Requests, and Fine & Fees.
    The following classes are defined in the CSS to allow you to control the display of columns in My Account lists.
    • Loans list – The MyAccount_Loans_<field name/type> class allows you to hide a specific column in the Loans list.
    • Requests list – The MyAccount_Requests_<field name/type> class allows you to hide a specific column in the Requests list. In addition, the requestList class has been added for the Requests list.
    • Fine & Fees list – The MyAccount_FineAndFees_<field name/type> class allows you to hide a specific column in the Requests list.
    The {display:none} parameter hides the specified class.
    To hide columns in My Account lists:
    1. Log on to the Back Office server as the primo user.
      Instead of accessing the server directly (as shown in steps 1 and 2), it is recommended to use the File Uploader utility (see The File Uploader Tool) to manage and publish CSS changes to the Primo Front End UI.
    2. Enter the following commands to access and open the CSS file that is used to customize your view:
      fe_web
      cd css
      vi <custom_css>.css
      It is not recommended to modify the default Primo CSS, which can be overwritten during updates. For more information regarding the customization of Primo views, see the Primo Technical Guide.
    3. Add the following lines to your localized CSS file to hide the columns in My Account lists:
      • Loans list (hides the title column):
        #LoansTable tr th.EXLMyAccountTableTitle {display:none;} // hides the column header
        #LoansTable tr td.MyAccount_Loans_title {display:none;} // hides the column in the row
      • Requests list (hides the title column):
        #requestList tr th.EXLMyAccountTableTitle {display:none;}
        #requestList tr td.MyAccount_Requests_title {display:none;}
      • Fine & Fees list (hides the author column):
        #FinesAndFeesTable tr th.EXLMyAccountTableTitle {display:none;}
        #FinesAndFeesTable tr td.MyAccount_FineAndFees_author {display:none;}
    4. Save the changes to the CSS file.
    5. On the Primo Home > Deploy All page, select all options and click Deploy.
