# Setting a conditional rule


When you set up a conditional rule, you create a conditional statement that will hide or show a visual when a specific condition is met. You can currently create conditional rules that hide or show a visual. If you want to create a conditional rule that makes a hidden visual appear, choose **Hide this visual by default** in the **Rules** menu of the **Properties** pane. 

**Note**  
Before you begin, make a parameter and a corresponding parameter control to base your new conditional rule on. Supported parameters are string parameters and number parameters. For more information about parameters and parameter controls, see [Parameters in Amazon Quick](parameters-in-quicksight.md).
