Weergavecondities

Weergavecondities (display conditions) is a concept used in software design and content management to describe rules that govern when and how content is presented to a user. These conditions control visibility, formatting, and interactivity based on context such as user attributes, device capabilities, or data values. The goal is to improve relevance and usability while supporting privacy and performance.

They are applied in various domains: user interfaces and dashboards; content management systems; document generation and reporting; and responsive web design. Examples include showing a price field only to authenticated customers; rendering a chart only when there is sufficient data; switching to a compact layout on small screens; or hiding confidential fields in public shares.

Implementation methods include client-side conditional rendering in modern frameworks; CSS media queries for layout-related conditions; template engines and reporting tools using conditional expressions; and access-control rules that govern data visibility.

Etymology and usage: The term combines the Dutch weergave (display) with condities (conditions), reflecting its role as a description of rules for what is shown and how it is shown.
