# **Understanding with an example**

*   While checking out from an online shopping site, selecting the ‘The Same as Shipping Address’ field hides the ‘Billing Address’ field automatically.
    
*   When you select Gender as Male, it automatically adds ‘Mr.’ before the First Name field and hides the ‘Ms./Mrs.’ title.
    
*   While filling out a job form, if you answer the ‘Do you have any prior experience?’ field as ‘Yes,’ it shows the ‘Years of experience’ field while selecting ‘No’ does not.
    

You can define Field visibility rules while creating or editing a content type. Only the stack owner, admins, and users assigned ‘Developer’ roles have the right to make a Field visibility rule in the stack.

The list of operators that can be used to set the visibility rules can be found [here](https://www.contentstack.com/docs/developers/create-content-types/operand-fields-and-supported-operators/).

**Quick Tips**:

*   While you could easily add up to 10 rules per content type, with max of 5 conditions per rule.
    
*   And target as many as 5 fields for each rule.

#### Key takeaways

- Connect **Field Visibility Rules** back to your stack configuration before moving to the next module.
- Capture one concrete artifact (screenshot, Postman call, or code snippet) that proves the step works in your environment.
- Re-read the delivery versus management boundary for anything you changed in the entry model.
