What are the use cases for using the Hide effect?

The Hide effect can be used to hide a shape, symbol, element of a symbol, or an image unless the the point bound is in alarm. The Hide effect works best when configured with an additional Show effect custom behavior. An example of a high level configuration on a shape, symbol, element of a symbol or image would be:
  • A behavior configured to with a Value Change trigger, the Hide effect, and a rule, such that if the point value does or does not equal a given state or value the shape, symbol, element of a symbol or image is hidden
  • A behavior configured to with a Value Change trigger, the Show effect, and a rule, such that if the point value does or does not equal a given state or value the shape, symbol, element of a symbol or image is hidden

What can I apply the Hide effect to?

You can apply the Hide effect to any shape, symbol, element of a symbol, or image. However, you cannot apply the Hide effect to the Room Control Module and the Status Summary symbols.
