# Show content based on a specific date

Using the new Visibility Rules experience, Whatfix enables you to set a date and time for when a widget should start appearing. With this condition, set timed promotions, announcements, or any other time-sensitive content. For example, if you're running a holiday promotion on your retail website and want to display a special discount Pop-up starting on December 1, use the new Visibility Rules to schedule the Pop-up to appear on that specific date and time.

> [!NOTE]
> Info:
> 
> Specific date range conditions are not applicable for Self Help.

Use the following steps to show a widget based on a specific date range:

1. In the Visibility rules section for your widget, click **When does the pop up start and stop appearing?**

2. Using the **What causes the pop up to appear?** dropdown, select **Specific date range**.

3. Enter the **Start date**, **Start time**, **End date**, and **End time**.

> [!NOTE]
> Info:
> 
> - Ensure that you add an **End date** and **End time** for your widget to prevent any content failure.
> 
> - The **Start** and **End times** determine when your widget starts and stops showing. To configure the time duration during which your widget shows up every day, use the **Set interval** option.

1. Select the time zone in which you want to show the widget using the **Timezone** dropdown.

> [!NOTE]
> Info:
> 
> If your end users are from different time zones, then select **User’s local time** using the **Timezone** dropdown. This ensures that all your end users see the widget during the set times as per their local times.

1. In the **Set interval** section, select the set time duration on the selected dates during which the widget should appear. For example, if you set the **Show from** at 08:00 and the **Show till** at 21:00, then for the selected dates, the Pop-up would appear between 08:00 and 21:00 every day until the end date.

2. In the **Set repeat** section, select the frequency to show the widget from the **How often should it repeat?** dropdown.
