Zone Visibility Service Script
All zones support a visibility script that is used to determine if the zone should be displayed to the user or not based on conditions. The script may receive input parameters and is expected to return a Boolean value indicating if the zone should be displayed or not. The embedded help for the Zone Visibility Service Script parameter provides details related to the syntax.
The following table highlights some service scripts provided by the product that may be used if applicable to your zone's requirements. This is not an exhaustive list of visibility scripts. There may be others that are specific to a given zone.

| F1-CondShwZn |

This is commonly used when one zone in the portal should only appear after a broadcast of a record from another zone in the portal.

| F1-RwCtShwZn |
Zone Visibility - Based on Row Count |
This is used when the condition for showing the zone is based on the existence of one or more rows that can be determined using SQL.
