Dynamic Visibility of a cube / data block in a data view

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi,

is there any possibility to steer the visibility of a cube / data block in a data view?

I want to achieve that I can steer on an admin scree, if a certain cube/data block is visible in a data view on another screen.

I know that you can steer the dynamic visibility of the whole data view, but I need it for a certain block in it - is that somehow possible?

Thanks and best regards

Oliver

Hi @OSchulz ,

have a look at the Cube visibility feature.

https://help.board.com/v14/docs/en/cube-visibility?highlight=visibility

That will prevent data from being visible under predefined conditions. The block itself will still be visible, but it shows no values.

If you want to "omit" the block in certain circumstances, you would use an algorithm to either display the block or "nothing". For this, you'll need to set the column settings to not show all.

Best,

Dear Helmut, when I use the algorithm I can steer if data is displayed or not, but the block / column in the dataview itself keeps visible. So there is no other possibility to steer the visibility of the whole block than using the column settings to not show all?

Hi @OSchulz ,

if you set the block itself to be hidden, it won't be displayed. Only the algorithm should be visible. The "not show all" is necessary so that the algorithm is only displayed when it carries a value.

Best,
Helmut
