To set the start date, end date, time, time zone, and frequency for the Pop-up, see [Set When your Content or Widget Appears with the new Visibility Rules](/studio/docs/set-when-your-widget-appears-using-visiblity-rules-20). ### Example Use Cases Configure the following use cases in the **When does the pop up start and stop appearing?** section of the Visibility Rules. In every use case, select **Specific date range** from the **What causes the pop up to appear?** dropdown. Expand the following accordions for more details: **Display a Pop-up every time users visit the page, with no end date** Set the **End date** far in the future, such as December 31, 2099, so the Pop-up keeps appearing. From the **What causes the pop up to stop appearing?** dropdown, select **Unlimited times**. The Pop-up then appears every time users visit the page. **Display a Pop-up every time users visit the page within a specific time frame** Set the **Start date** and **End date** to match the time frame. From the **What causes the pop up to stop appearing?** dropdown, select **Unlimited times**. The Pop-up appears every time users visit the page, but only between the start date and the end date. **Display a Pop-up only the first time users visit the page** From the **What causes the pop up to stop appearing?** dropdown, select **A set number of times**, and then enter 1. Whatfix counts how many times each user sees the Pop-up over their lifetime. Each user sees the Pop-up only once, on their first visit to the page. **Display a Pop-up only on specific days of the week** In the **Set repeat** section, select **Certain days of a week** from the **How often should it repeat?** dropdown. Select the days on which you want the Pop-up to appear. The Pop-up appears only on those days, between the start date and the end date. **Display a Pop-up only once a week** In the **Set repeat** section, select **Once a week** from the **How often should it repeat?** dropdown. Users see the Pop-up once each week, between the start date and the end date. To show the Pop-up on the same weekday as the start date every week, select **Weekly on** instead. **Display a Pop-up only once a month** In the **Set repeat** section, select **Once a month** from the **How often should it repeat?** dropdown. Users see the Pop-up once each month, between the start date and the end date. To show the Pop-up on the same day and week of each month as the start date, select **Monthly on** instead. ## Related - [Pop-up continues to appear even after occurrence is exhausted](/pop-up-continues-to-appear-even-after-occurrence-is-exhausted.md)
