Child Invisibility

The Child Invisibility Task allows you to replace one child entity with another within a specific page or layout. This is useful for dynamically updating or customizing the displayed content based on user interactions or other conditions. To configure this task, you must specify the page layout, row and column indices, and component IDs of both the entity to be replaced and its replacement.

Common Uses:

1. Account Type Selection:
   • Replacing “Savings Account Details” with “Fixed Deposit Details” when the user switches account type during the onboarding process.
2. Dynamic Dashboard Views:
   • Displaying different widgets (e.g., “Investment Summary” instead of “Loan Details”) based on user preferences or roles.

Configuration

When you create a task, its configuration page opens in which you define its basic and advanced properties. These are as follows:

Basic

Basic Properties	Description
Task Type	The Task Type indicates what kind of task you are creating. This is a read-only field since you select the type when you create the task and cannot change it during the configuration stage.
Reference Name	The Reference Name acts as a unique internal identifier for the task. This is visible to vFlow users for ease of reference but is hidden from end users. This allows users of the platform to manage and differentiate between tasks conveniently.
Name	The name defined here will be displayed to the end user.
Description	The Description field is intended for use by application designers or administrators (vFlow users) to provide additional context or details about the task group. This description is not visible to end-users and is used solely for internal reference to assist with task management.
Loader Properties – Title
Loader Properties – Description
Business Rule – Rule	This drop-down allows you to specify a Business Rule that governs when and how this task executes, offering more fine-grained control over task execution. If the specified condition is met, the task will execute; otherwise, it will not.
