How do I hide the the Task Executive Flowitems in processor?

I am making a model simulating people queuing in a fair. While I used the booth as a processor, but when I run the model, people (the Task Executive Flowitems) are moving inside the booth (which is a processor), like the picture below.

How do I hide the people items in the processor? Thanks.

Software Version:

FlexSim 17.2.5

Double click on the processor to open its properties window. On the General tab you'll find the Flags box with a bunch of checkboxes that adjust the object's visuals. Uncheck the Show Contents checkbox:

Also, if you update to 18.0 you can use the People module which will add a lot to the visuals and logic building of a model like this. Take a look at some of these sample models.
