Hide header

Modified on Mon, 27 Apr at 10:10 AM

The page header is the upper section of every Q.wiki page, displaying metadata such as the title, page owners, and approval status. You can control whether this area is visible to all users or hidden.

Important: The page header setting cannot be changed through the Q.wiki interface. It is configured exclusively by the Modell Aachen Service Team. Please submit a request via Support.

What is the page header?

The page header appears at the top of every page in the Processes module and shows key metadata at a glance:

  • Page title
  • Page owners
  • Approval status and approval date

Show or hide – when does each make sense?

Metadata should be visible to all users directly on the pagePages with a custom title layout or cover page where the header would interfere visually
Transparency about approval status and responsibility is importantProcess overviews and structure pages (2nd level): These pages primarily contain links rather than approvable content such as process descriptions or work instructions. Hiding the page header creates a clean, uncluttered look.
Good to know: Even when the page header is hidden, all metadata is retained in the system. It remains accessible via the page metadata and continues to affect the approval workflow.

Tip: Disable the approval workflow on structure pages

If you hide the page header on process overviews and structure pages, it also makes sense to disable the approval workflow there. There are two reasons for this:

  • Structure pages typically contain only links – no process descriptions or work instructions that need to go through a formal review.
  • Changes to the second level happen frequently (e.g. new links, reorganised sections). Running a full approval workflow with a four-eyes check would be disproportionate effort for this type of content.

Key Users can disable the approval workflow for individual pages themselves – see Approval workflow in Q.wiki for a step-by-step guide.

Important: Only disable the approval workflow on pages that serve a purely structural purpose and contain no approvable content. For process descriptions and work instructions, the approval workflow should always remain active.

Submit a request to the Service Team

Since this setting is applied at system level, please contact Support with the following information:

  • Name of your Q.wiki instance
  • Desired setting: Hide page header on all process overviews
