Is Visible

This allows the app builder to set conditions as to whether the container and its elements are visible. This field expects an expression that evaluates to either a True or False. If the value is True, the container will display, otherwise it will not. By default, containers are visible unless otherwise specified in this setting.

Example 1

The app builder may want to only display a set of elements if an app user has acknowledged a set of terms and conditions. Change the IsVisible property of the container to evaluate to true if checkbox is equal to TRUE.
