Get the hang of these rules, and it's possible for app creators to tailor content based on user roles, interactions, or data conditions. Maybe you want to display a special button just for admin users, hide certain content from folks who aren't logged in, or show dynamic information responding to what the user inputs—grasping how to use visibility rules effectively is crucial.

How to use Adalo's visibility rules?

Step 1: Open Your Adalo Project

First things first, log into your Adalo account and open up the project where you want to set up those visibility rules.

Step 2: Select the Component

Head over to the screen where your component is. Click on it—whether it's a button, text, image, or whatever you need to work with.

Step 3: Open the Visibility Menu

On the left side, in the properties panel, scroll down until you find the Visibility section. Click on the Visibility dropdown to open it up.

Step 4: Add a New Rule

Hit the Add a Rule button to start creating a new visibility rule. A form will pop up for you to define the rule conditions.

Step 5: Define the Condition

Set the condition for your visibility rule. Pick a data field from the dropdown, choose the operator (like equals, not equals, contains, etc.), and enter the value. You can add more conditions using 'AND' or 'OR' if needed.

Step 6: Configure More Rules if Needed

If you need more rules, just repeat the previous step. Each rule can be customized with different data fields, operators, and values.

Step 7: Set the Visibility

Based on the rules you've set, choose how you want the visibility to work. For example, make the component visible if the rules match, or if not.

Step 8: Save Your Changes

Once you're done setting up all the visibility rules, don't forget to save your changes. Click on the Save button, usually at the top-right corner of the properties panel.

Step 9: Preview and Test

Finally, preview your app to see the visibility rules in action. Make sure the component shows or hides as per the conditions you've defined.

This step-by-step process helps you effectively apply Adalo's visibility rules to control the display of components based on dynamic conditions.
