Using visibility rule to show or hide a portlet page

In the How to show or hide a portal or portlet page in WebSphere Portal entry i talked about how to create a Application Object and create a visibility rule. Then in the Using visibility rule to show or hide a portal page entry i blogged about how to show or hide a portal page. So i wanted to check how to show or hide a portlet based on Sample Visibility rule that i created

1. First go to "Manage Pages" Portlet and click on the edit button to reach the Edit Layout page, it has Show Portlet Rule Mapping link in the top right corner, click on that link
   
   


2. Once you click on the link every portlet on the page will get No Rule Mapped link like this, when you click on it you will get a menu that will let you select a visibility rule
   
   


3. Once you select the rule it will bring you back to the Edit Page Layout portlet and show the rule that is assigned to the portlet instance on the page
   
   


4. Save the page and your done

Now you can execute the rule by going to the page that has visibility rule
