In this example we will show how to display only one clause from list of possible values
When to use? #
You have list of clauses and want to select only some of them.
Main Idea #
Show / Hide variable controls displaying of a block (-s) of text and visible for end user as a checkbox.
Show / Hide Group variable works like wrapper for other Show / Hide variables. For the end user it will look like a drop down with list of values

- Create variable with title Announcements of type Show / Hide Group.
- Click on + button on Announcements variable to add new child variables.
- It is possible to create only Show / Hide variables inside Show / Hide Group so just specify title General Announcements.
- Select whole text in General Announcements in document and click Connect and Save.
