E Available Conditions
Learn about conditions available in App Builder.
E.1 What Are Conditions?
A condition is a small unit of logic that helps developers control the display of regions, items, buttons, and tabs as well execute processes, computations and validations. When you apply a condition to a control or component, the condition is evaluated. Whether a condition passes or fails determines whether a control or component displays, or page processing executes.
You can specify conditions by selecting a condition type when you create the control (region, button, or item) or component (tab, list, or navigation bar), or by making a selection under the condition attribute.
