Hide the display of running queries and "All queries completed." text in bottom right

How do I hide the display of running queries and "All queries completed." text in bottom right of the screen?

My end users do not need to see the query names that run when clicking through the app.

I don't know for sure, but I think you can accomplish this via the "Show query status to viewers" General App setting:

I think the key piece is that the "end user" here must be formally assigned to the "Viewer" permission group; i.e. they cannot be just an editor, or admin, etc., when in view mode. (As opposed to edit mode.)

Hope that works out, and apologies if this is wrong or misleading! I'm mostly commenting because I'm curious as to the answer as well, in lieu of trying to get a user at our company set up in this manner.

Hi @dguzzo - thank you for pointing out that setting.

I turned that setting off and been trying to test it out, but still seeing the queries and notifications in bottom right. I also tried enabling a public link and went incognito and it still shows.

I am not sure what the correct setup to hide those messages. They are helpful when developing, but are distracting to the business users.

I wonder if this setting you pointed out refers to the center bottom status bar for the queries running:

Hmm good point — just going by the wording, it seems like that setting would more likely just affect the bottom status bar but I guess not the similar "floating" status to the right, above the bar. I agree about its potential for distraction for business users!

This is the closest I could find in the forums (nothing in the formal docs), and though it was marked resolved, it was done so by the Retool user, not the forums poster.

Hmm the All queries completed text should not show up if you have "Show query status to viewers" turned off :thinking: It seems to be working on my end. @isaacjm Could you share an app export?

Hi @Tess - I ended up figuring out that my app's Notification setting "Successful queries" needed to be turned on, then off for a mass update to run and set all queries to no longer show their successful message in the bottom right.

My guess is that in an older version of retool when these queries were created, the setting was held at the individual level, and with some update the new app wide setting was not in alignment. Therefore a toggle of the app wide setting was able to run the mass update to the query level and get everything in alignment.

Interesting! Yeah, I was only testing with new queries/apps. Thanks so much for the thorough follow up
