Hide A Hostgroup in XI

Is it possible to hide a hostgroup in XI (2012R1.6) ?. As an example we have a top level windows hostgroup where we keep common service checks for C:, Mem, and CPU for all Windows machines. All other Windows hostgroups are placed in this hostgroup so that they inherit the above service checks. We don't really want the top level hostgroup in the views as it gets too large containing all windows hosts as it does. I remember in Core I used to be able to use register=0 to hide the group but I don't see how that is possible in XI
Regards
Tony

How are you viewing the hostgroups? If you go through Home > Hosts or Services you will not see the top level hostgroups. However this may not be the case from where you are viewing them.

I am referring to the hostgroup grid view which is a popular view with some of our users.

You can achieve this by putting the config in the static directory ("/usr/local/nagios/etc/static"), with "register=0". Then go to:
CCM->Host Groups->click on the "Yes" active button, to make this hostgroup inactive. Apply Configuration.
Hope this helps.
