visibility

If present, this element governs the visibility of its parent in application user interfaces. It only has meaning as the child of an element that represents a user interface component (a field element in a content-type resource, for example).

In CUE, fields are hidden if they contain a visibility element that is set to hidden or expert.

Allowed values are:

hidden

The parent element's user interface component should be hidden in all applications.

expert

The parent element's user interface component is not typically used on a day-to-day basis, and should be hidden in all applications, unless it is already in use. A field, for example, should be hidden unless it already contains data. Applications may offer users an option that shows these expert components.

advanced

The parent element's user interface component should be visible in applications aimed at advanced users. Applications that hide advanced components may offer users an option that shows them.

This is the default setting used when visibility is not specified.

beginner

The parent element's user interface component should be visible in all applications.
