Set up Visibility Dependency

This is the eighth topic in the tutorial about configuring UI controls.

Visibility Dependency is defined as allowing one UI control to be visible based on the selection of a check box at run time. This helps to keep the UI organized and easy to read. An example of visibility dependency in the stock reports is the UI Control Include Time Based SLA Breakdowns. If this check box is selected, the UI controls for the following appear:All DayStart TimeEnd Time and DaysEach of these UI controls has a visibility dependency based on the selection of the UI control Include Time Based SLA Breakdowns.

For the Availability Comparison Custom Report we are going to configure a visibility dependency on the Included Time Based SLA Breakdowns check box for the other UI controls: Start Time, End Time, Days, exactly the same as the example in the definition, above.

For example, in the Availability Comparison Custom Report, the image below shows the settings necessary to configure a visibility dependency on the Included Time Based SLA Breakdowns check box for the Start Time, End Time, and Days UI controls. The corresponding Start_Hour, End_Hour and WeekType parameters, have the IncludeBreakdown option selected from the Visibility Dependency drop-down.
