# Show a Launcher based on User Input

With the new Visibility Rules, Whatfix enables you to show widgets based on certain criteria on the underlying application. Select the element and set the conditions based on user inputs, such as text, number, and date fields that are fetched from the underlying application to show the widgets to your users.

Consider an employee expense submission form in which employees can report business expenses. This form is only valid for expenses where the night room rate is under $300. For expenses that exceed this amount, employees must log their submissions through the employee portal.

To ensure compliance with expense reporting guidelines, hide the Submit Expense button when the room rate exceeds $300 using a Launcher. The Launcher overlays the submit button, guiding users to click it and directing them to the portal instead.
