Here you can see both hidden and non-hidden contacts entered for that shipper, as well as any billing recipients entered. 

You can also hide the shipper from this page. 

You can also edit your default contact. To do so:

  1. Toggle your existing default contact off. After this, choose which new contact you'd like to be the default:

Again, we'll use shippers as an example. To do so:

  1. Go to your settings page
  2. Select 'Shippers'
  3. Checkbox the shippers you'd like to hide. You can checkbox multiple if you like.
  4. Select 'Hide Shippers'

You can also hide your contacts. To do so:

  2. Select 'Shippers'
  3. Navigate to you shipper details page
  4. Checkbox the contact you'd like to hide
  5. Select 'hide.'

As mentioned earlier, you can remove the hidden functionality whenever you like. Make sure you've go your 'Show Hidden Shippers/Contacts/Locations' checkbox selected, and then select 'Show.'
