Delete unwanted columns or tabs in Infoview 4.3
Do you make changes to an Infoview report every time you export it to Excel? Become a more efficient and effective Infoview user by editing your report output once in Infoview and then saving your modified version of the report for future use.
You can make simple changes to report outputs once you’ve saved them to your Personal Folders in Infoview 4.3. Two of the changes you can easily make are deleting unwanted columns or tabs.
You can only make these edits while in Design mode.
The Design button toggles between Reading mode, which reports automatically open in, and Design mode. Click the Reading button to change the mode to Design.
Once in Design mode, you can right-click on an unwanted column and select Delete from the menu. There isn’t a confirmation message, but you can click the Undo icon to add the deleted column back to the output.
To get rid of an unwanted tab, click the down arrow to the right of the tab name, select Delete from the menu, then click the Delete button on the confirmation message.

There are many other edits you can make to your reports, including changing column headers and report names, changing the column and sort orders, changing fonts and column widths, and even adding your own input controls to help filter your output. Look for the Infoview Training 5: Advanced Concepts module, which will review how to make these kinds of changes to your reports, available in early February 2026 on the Other Information System Training page of the MDH WIC website.

Hepatitis B vaccine
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) continues to support vaccination against hepatitis B at birth for all babies. This is in alignment with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) who also recommend vaccinating all infants at birth against hepatis B. Giving the hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth has been shown to significantly reduce infections. In other words – the vaccine works.
If a mother is infected with hepatitis B, it can be transmitted to a newborn baby during or after birth. If infected, up to 90% of babies will develop lifelong hepatitis B infections. Additionally, a child could become infected just by living with or being cared for by someone who has hepatitis B. Around one in four babies with hepatitis B will die prematurely from liver damage, liver failure, or liver cancer. Vaccination helps provide long-term protection.
Thursday, Dec. 25 - Christmas (state offices closed)
Thursday, Jan. 1 - New Year's Day (state offices closed)
