Hi Juzz!

What you can do is use the conditional settings on the icon to control this. Conditions is basically an if statement that triggers changes in an element’s appearance and visibility.

Look at this example:

  1. Check to see if a database field is not empty (in this example, it checks for a User’s first name, but it could be anything
  2. If the condition is met, the element should be visible/not visible.

Hope that solves it!

Right now it looks like you are searching for the Condition in the element itself, while you need to look in the relevant data field.

If you are populating a Repeated Group for example, the assumed correct Condition would be “Current Cell’s X’s PDF-File isn’t empty”, and then setting up the property change (in this case “This element is visible” unchecked).
