Use this menu to hide items in the Genstat menu. If you want a less busy set of menus or to hide unused items, then menus can be selected for removal (check boxes ticked) in the Menu tree. This follows the same layout as the Genstat menu. The + expand button will open up all folders so all items can be seen, and the – button will collapse all folders. Using this button will toggle between the two states (+/-). Some basic menu items cannot be removed, and these are marked in grey, and cannot be ticked. When a folder has all items in it ticked, the folder’s check box will be ticked. If a partial selection of items in a folder have been ticked, the folder will be highlighted in yellow with a grey tick on it to show this. Menu selections can be saved or loaded using the Save or Load buttons. These are stored in a Genstat menu settings (.GMS) file.
Genstat must be restarted for the menu selection to be activated.
A hidden menu selection can also be cleared by using Reset hidden menus button in the Menus tab of the Tools | Options menu.
Menu items to hide

Ticking or clearing a folder’s check box will tick or clear all items below them (apart from the basic menus that cannot be ticked). The individual menu items are shown with a triple dot (…) icon, and this is greyed if they are a basic menu that cannot be removed.
