Manage Container Visibility

This guide shows you how to manage container visibility in QuoteCloud documents, allowing you to show or hide content blocks based on conditions or user roles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is container visibility in QuoteCloud?

Container visibility lets you show or hide content blocks (containers) inside QuoteCloud documents so each document dynamically displays only the content relevant to the recipient or scenario.

Why should I use container visibility?

Using container visibility creates personalised, cleaner documents by removing irrelevant sections. It reduces manual editing, enforces consistent templates, and improves the recipient experience for quotes, proposals, itineraries and other generated documents.

Where do I manage container visibility?

Container visibility is managed in the QuoteCloud document editor. The editor provides visibility settings so you can attach conditions or role rules to individual containers within templates or documents.

Will container visibility work with templates and generated documents?

Yes. Container visibility is applied at the document/template level in QuoteCloud, so templates and any documents generated from them will respect the visibility rules you configure to produce dynamic, personalised outputs.

Does container visibility affect integrations and other QuoteCloud features (for example QuickBooks Online, TravelDocs or electronic signatures)?

Container visibility is a document editor feature that changes the content of the final document produced by QuoteCloud. Documents exported to integrations (such as QuickBooks Online or TravelDocs) or sent for electronic signature will contain the visible content as determined by your configured visibility rules.

How do I attach a visibility rule to a specific container?

Open the document in the QuoteCloud document editor, select the container you want to control, and use the visibility settings to add a condition or role rule. These settings can be applied directly to individual containers inside templates or documents to control when they appear.

Can container visibility help when building complex proposals or travel itineraries?

Yes. Container visibility is especially useful for complex documents — for example multi-option proposals or travel itineraries — because it enables conditional sections (optional extras, alternative pricing, or region-specific details) to appear only when relevant, keeping the final document concise and tailored.
