Hi,
HidePrefix
All field names beginning with this text string will be hidden in the same manner as the system fields. A user-defined variable.
Example:
set HidePrefix='_' ;
If this statement is used, the field names beginning with an underscore will not be shown in the field name
lists when the system fields are hidden.

Hi Niru,
The HidePrefix option will hide any fields that start with this character.
Most of the time I use this will key fields that are not required in the UI.
As a test, create a new document with
LOAD 'test' as [-tester]
AUTOGENERATE(1);
Reload and you will see the -tester field.
Add the following line to your loadscript, reload and the field -tester will now be hidden.
HidePrefix = '-';
Thanks

Hi Niru,
The reason is also that you shouldent use these fields in calculations and dimensions.
So if you use '_' as a prefix on your keys it will be Hide.
For me, it's also important that these fields don't show in the Current Selections object.
