# Locations

### Hiding a Location

Some dealers use clearance centers in MFP as a way to display clearance items. Because of the way these items are entered into MFP, they show in Element as physical store locations, which can be confusing for users.  Here is how you hide these (and any other) locations from displaying to customers:\
\
In the Element backend\
\
Select Settings from the Administration menu\
\

\
Scroll to the bottom of the page to the field "Enter Excluded Locations Here(',' separated list)"\
\
Enter the name of the location to be hidden. (Hint-copy and paste the name from the locations page to ensure it matches)\

\
Click Save\
\
To unhide a hidden location, simply delete it from the exclude field and click Save.
