 The buttons provide you with different ways to hide and show items and names in the store (Note: be careful showing names in databases that have a lot of names records. For example if you have 20 virtual stores and 200,000 names in your database, showing all names in all stores will create 4 million (20x200,000) records to map the visibility of each name in each store): The buttons provide you with different ways to hide and show items and names in the store (Note: be careful showing names in databases that have a lot of names records.

   * The **Show stats** button shows how many items and names are currently hidden and visible   * The **Show stats** button shows how many items and names are currently hidden and visible
-  * The **Set item visibility to match master lists for this store** button matches the item visibility to the master lists that are selected on the //Master lists// tab. (Note: this is a one-off operation, no changes will be made to item visibility if the master lists are changed after you click this button. See the section above if you want that to happen!) If there are some items that can't be set to invisible (because they have stock, for example) a temporary master list will be created containing the items which could not have their visibility removed. Use the list to decide what to do with each item.+  * The **Set item visibility to match master lists for this store** button matches the item visibility to the master lists that are selected on the //Master lists// tab.
