Groups can be configured to hide when they are not visible, freeing up space on the screen for other content to be displayed. This allows for a wide range of possibilities when designing pages to optimize available screen space, such as for responsive (mobile-friendly) design.

Portal/dashboard pages (Example)

For portal pages like the , it is useful to have hiding groups in order to create more versatile pages with a better UX.

Instead of creating several similar pages with the same dashboard look, using one page dramatically decreases load time for users when toggling between different views.

On the admin page, the navigation bar on the left side of the screen determines which "Tab" is selected, and all groups in the main portion of the dashboard are hidden except the selected one.
