Use Conditions to Show or Hide Fields in a Layout
Fields in the active layout are displayed by default, but if you want to hide a field or group in a layout in some cases, for example, to hide it from everyone except managers, you can use the field's Show Field property to set conditions that determine when it is displayed. When you add conditions, the field is displayed only when the conditions you set are true. The conditions are only applied to the field in the layout you are editing.
To set display settings for a field in a layout:
- In the Rule Set editor, open the layout and select the field in the center pane.
When you select the field, you can see the field's properties in the Properties pane. By default, the Show Field property is set to Always, so the field is always displayed.
- Define the field's conditions by selecting attributes, operators, and values in the condition builder in the dialog box. Click Save.
You can add more conditions and group conditions to make the rule more precise. For example, you may want to display an extra field only if the user is authenticated AND is a manager. You would then create a rule with two conditions, and select Match All to require that both conditions are true.
