 ^ Parameter                ^ Meaning  ^
+| Alias | The unique name or alias for the root directory |
 | Description | An aribitrary string that can help administrator in the future remember what your root directory is actually about. The Description field of a root directory can also be used to hide additional information about a group of data that you don't want everybody to know about immediately. Do //not// use this field for sensitive information, as it can be seen by everyone with access to PMA.core. If you're an instructor working with students e.g., it's perfectly ok to enter reminders for yourself in this field like "these are all trick-questions"... |
 | Quota   | You can set a limit on the amount of data that you want to allow PMA.core to manage in a particular for. This can be useful when facilitating temporary workers, visiting staff, residents or other students that only will be at your department for a brief period of time. If you //don't// want to restrict the amount of data, you can leave the default value of 0 in place. |
 | Offline | When checked, the folder will not be available to downstream applications like PMA.studio. Maybe you're just creating a placeholder for a future department, or you're not done curating a new collection yet. Instructors can also use this option to prepare a list of exam slides and only expose them to students for a limited amount of time (we don't offer scheduling though; you're still going to have to flick the proverbial switch manually) |
-| Visibility | See our [[rootdir_security#public_vs_private|section on security]] |
+| Prevent rendering of labels/barcodes | This prevents any slide in this root directory to show any label or barcode image. This is done primarily for anonymization of the slide (see also the [[anonymization|section on anonymization]]) |
 Once you create your root directory, you will see a reminder that you still need to provide a mounting point.
