# Hidden Fields (Pre-2022 Legacy)

Pre-2022 templates were built using **our legacy HTML syntax**. This article is for you if your tags are in **$tag;** format

Hidden fields do not appear in the signature block or in MySig. Hidden field data is synced or uploaded into Opensense.

## Uses for Hidden Fields

- Shortened signature block
- Image links, such as headshots
- URL links, such as meeting links
- Badges and awards

## Setup

In Designer Studio, locate Settings & Fields. Check the **Hide** box next to the field that you would like to hide.

Hidden fields should always be setup as [conditional fields](https://opensense.document360.io/docs/conditional-fields-pre-2022-legacy). At least one field must be "unhidden", most commonly **name**.

In this example, the customer is using hidden fields to create a shortened signature block. The hidden data is being pulled from [Compliance](https://opensense.document360.io/docs/manual-sync-of-a-csv-file)
