How do I enable umbracoNaviHide in Umbraco 7

Question

I am new to Umbraco and I am trying to hide a page from the nav bar. Based on what I have read I need to change the value of the property umbracoNaviHide . Nothing I have read gives any specific information on how to do this or where this property would be located. I also am having a hard time finding detailed information about umbraco 7.

Is this something that I need to enable in an xslt file somewhere so that it shows up as an editable property in the Umbraco UI or do I need to add some code somewhere and rebuild umbraco?

Is this a property that I need to include in my template files somewhere?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go to: http://www.systenics.com/blog/create-a-responsive,-fluid-html5css3-based-website-on-umbraco-7-using-bootstrap-30-framework/?tag=Umbraco+7 and look for umbracoNaviHide on the page and you will see how to set this property.

Relevant text from the link:

Switch to the Generic properties tab and click on the Click here to add a new property link...

Generic Properties tab can be found by going to Settings->DocumentType->[Name of your document type] and then click on Generic Properties on the right side.

and follow the instructions provided in the following image:

Old post, but an update for v7.4

Related Changes Summary - 7.4 beta - Option toCannot add properties to the "Generic properties" tab

Description - In the 7.4 beta it's not possible anymore to add properties to the "Generic properties" tab. I know this has been done because properties can be a bit hidden on that tab and usually are better on a separate tab. But there are situations where the properties are better on that tab.
