Specifying visibility and privilege options for a control

After you add the control to the layout, use the Visibility option on the General tab of the Properties panel to determine when the control is displayed.

• Select Always, If not blank, or Not zero to display or hide the control based on the visibility of the enclosing section or flow action at the time that this section or flow action is first presented or refreshed.

• Select Condition (expression) to make the visibility dependent on an expression. In the field that is displayed, select a condition or click the Open condition builder icon to open the Condition Builder.

• Select Condition (when rule) to make the visibility dependent on a when condition rule. Click the Open icon to create a when condition or review an existing one.

Optional: To display a blank area in the section when the control is hidden, select the Reserve space when hidden check box.

Set the Disable option to one of the following settings to specify when the control is not available to end users:

• Never – The control is never disabled.
• Always – The control is always disabled.
• Condition (expression) – The control is disabled under the condition that you specify. In the adjacent field, select a condition or click the Open condition builder icon to open the Condition Builder.
• Condition (when) – The control is disabled under the condition that you specify. In the adjacent field, press the Down Arrow key to select a when condition or click the Open icon to create a when condition.

Optional: To specify the availability of the control at run time, press the Down Arrow key in the Privilege field and select the Privilege Name key part of a privilege rule.

At run time, the system uses the Applies To key part of the current rule as the first key part.
