SNOW-CSA UI, Navigation and Forms Practice Question
A user reports that a field is not visible on the form. Which three factors could cause a field to be hidden? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse 'read-only' with 'hidden', but read-only fields remain visible and only restrict editing, while hidden fields are completely absent from the user's view.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
The field's visibility condition in a UI Policy
UI Policies can include visibility conditions that dynamically hide or show fields based on criteria such as the value of another field, the current state, or the user's role. When a field's visibility condition evaluates to false, the field is hidden from the form, even if it is present in the current view and the user has the appropriate role.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The field's visibility condition in a UI Policy
Why this is correct
UI Policies can set the visible attribute to false based on conditions.
- ✓
The field is not in the current form view
Why this is correct
A field not added to a form view will not be displayed.
- ✓
The user does not have the required role to view the field
Why this is correct
Fields can be role-restricted in the dictionary, hiding them from unauthorized users.
- ✗
The field's 'Active' checkbox is unchecked
Why it's wrong here
The active flag affects database visibility, not form display; inactive fields still appear on forms.
- ✗
The field is configured as read-only
Why it's wrong here
Read-only fields are visible but not editable.
