			General Settings
			Cable Management's General Settings capability is located on the
		Cable Management Main Page via the General Settings link under the
		SETUP section of the menu.
		When the General Settings link is selected, the Hide Sections pop-up
		window appears. This tool is meant for hiding specific areas of the
		infrastructure that are not in use. Within the pop-up window, the user
		can select the areas to hide by selecting the box and then pressing the
		SAVE button to close the pop-up window. These areas will be hidden
		throughout the application and can be reinstated for future use by
		following the same process.
		The areas that can currently be hidden are listed as follows:
			• Pathways
			• Firestops
			• Grounding
			• Splices
			The four areas listed above are very important areas of your infrastructure. Using
			Cable Management to document these areas is recommended, but hiding these
NOTE			areas and not using them is up to the user's discretion. Most importantly, these
NOTE			sections can be hidden and reinstated at any time depending on user preference.
