1. If you want to configure the initial state of the Part, you can do this by selecting or clearing the Visible option on the Form Template Part itself. All Parts are Visible by default.

   Tip
   The Visible option controls the Form Template Part's appearance in both the Aptify web interface and desktop clientsAptify Desktop client.

   

    

2. If your logic deals only with the fields of the record (or the record's parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent), you can use a Form Template Part Binding.

   Tip
   Form Template Part Bindings only affect the Form Template Part's appearance in the web client.

   
   
   

3. When all else fails and you can't express your conditions in metadata, you can write a layout control for the Form Template and use the Aptify JavaScript API to show or hide the Part.

   Note
   This code assumes you are in the template layout control, and therefore have the variable _ftpPartName available.

   To show or hide the control associated with a form template part, pass the form template part's element to Aptify.framework.utility.UI.showControl().

   Code Block
   language js title Using Aptify.framework.utility.UI.showControl() linenumbers true
   if (_ftpPartName) { // check if it exists if you're not sure the variable's been populated yet Aptify.framework.utility.UI.showControl(_ftpPartName, true); // shows the control Aptify.framework.utility.UI.showControl(_ftpPartName, false); // hides the control }
