Quick Answer

Open Admin Settings, select Customize Entities in the Account section, turn optional sidebar entities on or off, and save. Dashboard, Candidates, Jobs, Contacts, and Companies always remain visible.

Customize Entities keeps the ATZ CRM sidebar focused on the areas your recruitment business actively uses.

## What This Setting Changes

The setting controls whether optional entities appear in the main sidebar for the account. Hiding an entity removes its sidebar entry; it does not delete records.

The following core entities always remain visible:

-   Dashboard.
-   Candidates.
-   Jobs.
-   Contacts.
-   Companies.

Optional entities can include Matches, Inbox, Activities, Reports, Deals, Placements and Billing, Shifts, and Timesheets.

## Open Customize Entities

1.  Open **Admin Settings**.
2.  In the **Account** section, select **Customize Entities**.

Only admins and users with **Customize Entities** permission can open this page.

## Choose Sidebar Entities

1.  Review the list of entities.
2.  Turn an optional entity off to remove it from the sidebar.
3.  Turn an entity on to make it available again.
4.  Select **Save**.

Core entities carry an **Always visible** label and their switches cannot be changed.

The saved visibility takes effect immediately. Users may need to refresh if they already have ATZ CRM open in another browser tab.

## Give a Role Access to This Setting

Admins can allow a trusted non-admin role to manage the setting:

1.  Open **Admin Settings > Roles and Permissions**.
2.  Create or edit a custom role.
3.  Enable **Customize Entities** access.
4.  Save the role and assign it to the appropriate user.

See [Understand Roles and Permissions](https://atzcrm.com/help/user-and-account-management/users/roles-permissions/) for the complete role workflow.

## Recommended Approach

-   Keep only the modules your team currently uses in the sidebar.
-   Confirm with team leads before hiding shared operational areas.
-   Re-enable an entity before training users on a new workflow.
-   Remember that permissions still control what an individual user can access.

## Troubleshooting

### I Cannot Open Customize Entities

Ask an administrator to confirm that you are an admin or your role has **Customize Entities** access.

### A Core Entity Cannot Be Turned Off

This is expected. Dashboard, Candidates, Jobs, Contacts, and Companies are required.

### An Entity Is Visible but a User Cannot Open It

Sidebar visibility and role permissions are separate. Review the user’s role and entity permissions.

## FAQs

### Does hiding an entity delete its records?

No. It only removes the sidebar entry.

### Can each user choose a different entity list?

No. This is an account-wide setting.

### Can I restore a hidden entity later?

Yes. Return to Customize Entities, turn it on, and save.
