# Set when your widget appears

Using the New Visibility Rules, Whatfix enables you to configure the 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 from December 1, use 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 of your widget, click **When does the pop up start and stop appearing?**

2. 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 will start and stop 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.![Configure_Local_Time.png](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/Configure_Local_Time.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T10%3A40%3A42Z&se=2026-11-12T11%3A40%3A42Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=8xqm8F7QwOEXA2iT8MvSFpUgwyXRHB26eJJ7OhyFplY%3D)

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.
