We need to put in a nohide parameter, probably in the same fashion
as the "active" and "inactive" customers. I will be doing that (and
have already done that in my private copy).

If you edit lib/UI/pages/admin/item.html and put nh=1 in the list of
parameters set in the scratch variable item_sparams:

[if cgi changed_qual]
[then]
    [set item_list_clicked][/set]
    [seti item_sparams]
            fi=[cgi mv_data_table]
            st=db
            [cgi ui_text_qualification]
            nh=[cgi showinactive]
            su=1
            md=1
            ml=[cgi ui_list_size]
            tf=[cgi ui_sort_field]
            to=[cgi ui_sort_option]
            rf=[cgi ui_show_fields]
    [/seti]
[/then]
[elsif !scratch item_sparams]
    [seti item_sparams]
            fi=[cgi mv_data_table]
            st=db
            ra=yes
            md=1
            nh=[cgi showinactive]
            ml=[cgi ui_list_size
            tf=[cgi ui_sort_field]
            to=[cgi ui_sort_option]
            rf=[cgi ui_show_fields]
    [/seti]
[/elsif]
[else]
    [set item_list_clicked]1[/set]
    <span class=cmessage>([L]click Items again to reset list[/L])</span>
[/else]
[/if]

That is what I will be doing. Then in your Items entry in the menu
editor, set showinactive=1 as one of the parameters in the link.

Of course you can hardwire it to 1 if you want. I will probably add
that to the list of parameters you can set in the table metadata.
