Hide a document type

Question

Hi everyone, 
 Need some help / advice. 
 Someone asked me if they could hide a document type called "Matching" from the doc type object list, so it is not available for use on the class card. 
 But it will still need to be searchable as he has documents tagged with "Matching". These will be changed to another doc type over time. 
 He just wanted to stop users using it going forward. 
 Thanks 
 Anthony

I don't think that's possible for objects unfortunately. Users can either see the object or not and if they can see it, they can select it in value list properties. Some custom solution might be possible with event handlers, e.g. don't let the user save the changes if that object is selected (and it wasn't already selected before).

If with "document type" you mean class, you can remove the "Attach objects to this class" permission in the class properties. With the settings in the example below users can see the class name and search by it but not select this class for a document.
