- Select the element to conditionally hide.
- In Property Editor, choose Visibility.
The Hide Element option appears.
- Select Hide Element to specify that this element be hidden.
If you want the element to always be hidden, this is all you need to do. If you want to conditionally hide the element, specify the condition.
- Select the report format to which you want to apply the hide condition:
- To apply the hide condition for all report format, select For all outputs.
- To apply the hide condition for certain report formats, select For specific outputs. Also select this option if you want to apply different conditions, depending on the report format. For example, you can apply one condition for the HTML report, and another condition for the PDF report.
- Specify the hide condition:
- Choose Expression Builder.
Expression Builder appears.
- Provide an expression that specifies the hide condition. Remember, you have to think about when you want to hide the element, not when you want it to appear.
For example, to display a text message, Jumbo, when a loan amount exceeds $363,000, conditionally hide the text element with the following expression:
This expression hides the text message when loan amounts are less than $363,000.
- Choose OK.
- Preview your report to test the information that you specified for the Visibility property.
