Introduction
Dynamic visibility makes it possible to control the visibility of components. With this functionality, a component can be made visible or hidden on a running dashboard, based on a status value that is inserted in a certain spreadsheet cell.
Dynamic visibility is useful when your dashboard contains many visual components and you don't want to overload the user with information. Usually, it is used in combination with selectors that let the users choose what they want to see and when.
