Setting the Visibility of a View

This procedure creates a conditional expression that determines whether the view is shown. View visibility is set in the Views list under Administration - Personalization.

To set the visibility of a view

1. Navigate to the Administration - Personalization screen > Views view.
2. Query for the desired view.
3. If that view is not available, create a new record.
4. In the Name field, query for the desired view.

   Complete the fields as needed. Some fields are described in the following table.

   Field	Description
   Start Date	The date after which the conditional expression is evaluated. If Start Date is blank, the conditional expression is evaluated continuously or until the End Date is reached.
   End Date	The date after which the conditional expression is not evaluated. The conditional expression is: Evaluated continuously after the Start Date if the End Date is blank. Always evaluated if both Start and End Date are blank.
   Conditional Expression	Enter the expression as text or click the icon to use the Personalization Business Rules Designer. If the expression evaluates to: TRUE, then the view displays when the screen is reloaded. FALSE, then the view does not display. Because of the way that views are cached, conditional expressions should not be used to dynamically display views. When data changes the result of a conditional expression, the user interface does not automatically reload to show a view. A view that is hidden will not display dynamically once the conditional expression evaluates to true. The view will need to be manually reloaded before the hidden view will appear.
