How can I disable the header for specific views?

I have been searching for this endlessly and haven't found anything in the documentations.

Are you talking about a Docked View? To selectively disable a Docked View, you need to place another Docked View on the same side which uses the SAME View as the one you want to "remove", and set the new one to use the following settings:  
`display: onDemand`  
`handle: hide`

Thanks, I figured it out by using `system.perspective.closeDock('header')` in the startup script but I like your solution better!

This is not working for me. I tried this solution, and instead of taking the header out just for the selected view, it is disabling it for every view. What am I missing?

Don't do this in the "Shared" Page Configuration Settings area - do this for the specific Page Configuration you want to modify.

.. it's never too late! You can Hide the shared one and show a new one too.

To clarify, since it took me a bit to figure out what was happening in this GIF:

-Add a 2nd instance of the global header you have configured and set Display: onDemand (I believe this overrides the global setting, but only seems to work if it’s referencing the same view).

-Then add a 3rd header that has whatever view you want and it will show in place of the global configuration.

I don’t understand why the 2nd entry is needed, but it seems to do the trick!
