I am following SAIL records tutorial (Create Entity-Backed Records) and created Additional Dashboards but its not visible as per visibility expression. Visibility expression is set like this

=rf!firstname ="Michael"

As per documentation if the record's firstname is Michael then it should display one more text field which is read only and dummy in my case. Which is not happening!!!...

Hi Vahluwalia,

Are you trying to show the text field in the additional dashboard based on your condition?

Can you try using if condition in your dashboard code, for example if(rf!firstname="Michael",a!textField(),{}).

The purpose of Visibility expression is to determine who and when can a user see the dashboard name and access it.

Here is the link for your reference:

Couple of things to look at:
1. What is the data type of rf!firstName
2. What is the value of rf!firstName - i.e. check for leading or lagging spaces
3. Does the additional dashboard work if you replace this expression with =true() ?

right, so the first thing you need to do is get the dashboard working without this condition. Check if you have defined your sail code properly within a section layout or dashboard layout (etc)
Once you get this working, you can add the condition to control visibility.

1. What happens if you put the additional dashboard code in your main dashboard? Does it work?
2. What happens when you put the main dashboard code in your additional dashboard - does it work?
3. What happens if you change the additional dashboard from using sectionLayout to Dashboard layout - does it work?

1. Yes it works
2. No (Visibility is true for additional dashboard )
3. No (Visibility is true for additional dashboard )

Additional dashboard is not rendering in any case.
Does the additional dashboard renders in same page where sail summary dashboard renders.
