Either surround in an if(), such as:

if(

[boolean expression],

a!sailComponent(parameters: ),

{}

or the vastly better showWhen parameter that Appian has so wonderfully been adding to virtually all components. It does the same thing, but far simpler:

a!sailComponent(

parameter:

otherParameter:

showWhen: [boolean expression]

)

Components do not have visibility options rather they should be hidden/shown based on the result of a test. There are multiple examples here, have a good look through.

You can surround the component in an if() and dynamically render it based on the if condition. For example, if(ri!var = 5, a!textField(), {}).
