Ok this not the most elegant or efficeint solution but it worked.
In the include file I add the # NOCOLUMN:files after each entry
10.1.1.1 Host1 # NOCOLUMNS:files
10.2.2.2 Host2 # NOCOLUMNS:files
I would have liked a way to refrence the NOCOLUMN for all hosts in the include file but this works.

try this
X.X.X.X hostname # NOCOLUMNS:files (space between # and NOCLOUMNS
or
for all hosts
page=WINDOWSHOSTS
0.0.0.0 .default. # NOCOLUMNS:files

Hello guys
to clarify, I want to remove the column for files for all hosts on a specific page
I tried this and it didn't work.

Edit bb-hosts and add NOCOLUMNS:foo after the # on the host that you
wish to mask the column on e.g.:
0.0.0.0 host.domain.com #NOCOLUMNS:foo
or to do this on a group you could use the group-only command e.g:
group-compress mygroupname
group-only columns|tobe|shown
0.0.0.0 host.domain.com

So I have no data coming in on the files column and I would like to remove
it from the display.
While searching I found this:
I don't want to display column foo in my display. How do I do that ?
A. Add the entry NOCOLUMNS:foo,bar to hide column foo and bar.
so my command would be
NOCOLUMNS:files
Is this correct and which file do I add it to?
