Tip** 

Hide unused from fields rather than trashing them. Use this tool to experiment with your designs.  Hide fields you decide not to use.  If you change your mind later, you don't have to start from scratch.  
Examples
  1. Hide Virtual Guest Passes rather than deleting them.  If you don't use guest passes today, you may decide to use them in the future.    
  2. Hide the fee calculation results rather than trashing them.  You may decide to add and show fees in later years.
