Display Condition

About

The Display Condition property determines whether an element or entire page should be visible or hidden to the current user. The condition can be set to different Dynamic Property Types – as long as the property type returns true or false you’re good to go.

Meet Your New Dynamic Besties! Check out the following list of properties and their practical use cases to figure out what fits your use case best:

Dynamic Property		When to Use
Check Role	Restricts or displays elements to specific HMI User Roles.	You would like to show a specific field or even an entire page exclusively to users in the Administrator group.
Data Variable (Dynamic Property)	Restricts elements based on variables from your PLC.	Your machine must be able to support different hardware configurations, which requires showing or hiding specific parameters based on the machine model.
Condition	Uses complex conditions to show or hide an element.	You would like to hide an element if a variable is below a certain threshold. Make sure your condition always returns a Boolean value!
Switch	Allows you to switch between different values depending rules you define.	You would like to display different icons in a Header Cell depending on the state of your machine.
Static Value	Displays elements based on a static boolean value.	You may want to toggle an element inside your IDE occasionally for debugging purposes.
