# Window Variables as Visibility Rules

Note:

If you see the following UI, you have the New Visibility Rules enabled for the account. For more information, see [Understand New Visibility Rules](https://support.whatfix.com/docs/understand-visibility-rules-20). ![Visibility Rules 2.0 screenshot](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/vr2_main%20page.png)

  

​Window Variable rule can be used when you need to make some content or widget available based on a global Javascript variable that is present in the application or based on the one you created in Whatfix Advanced Customization.

You can also use this option to perform comparison options using the following operators:

- Greater than
- Less than
- Date Greater than
- Date Less than

For more information, see [Supported Operators for Visibility and Display Rules](/studio/docs/supported-operators)
