Turning off and on Datasets

When you have multiple data sets in your map (for example some data might be represented in zipcode another at the state level and another at the region level). Can you turn off a certain data set (in other words keep in there but do something to so you don't see it)?

there are a few posts about this - here is one but you may find more if you search the forum:

Hope this helps,
