You can use the tab widget mapping form to display widgets on a tab and control their visibility.

</td></tr><tr><td>

</td></tr><tr><td>

Accessible by

</td><td>

Users who can view the widgets.-   Employee only
-   Manager only
-   Employee and manager
-   Everyone
-   Manager and Other Managers
-   Employee, Manager, and Other Managers
-   User criteria: Provide the access only to specific users, groups, and roles with the user criteria. The widget is visible to the users based on the following:

    -   Available For: User group for whom the widget is visible. Define and select the user group based on your business needs.
    -   Not Available For: User group for whom the widget isn’t visible. Define and select the user group based on your business needs.
Values that are defined in the Not Available For group take precedence over the values defined in the Available For group. If both aren't defined, the widget is visible to all users. For more information on widget visibility based on user criteria, see [User Criteria output](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/employee-experience-foundation/user-criteria-output.md).

**Note:** Use the user criteria cautiously because the profile page load time can take longer based on your criteria.


Based on your selection, the profile visibility is either locked or made available for editing by the employee.

</td></tr><tr><td>

Allow employee to control visibility

</td><td>

This field appears only when you select one of the Employee only, Employee and manager, or Everyone options. **Note:** To view and change the visibility setting, embed the **Public Profile Visibility** widget inside the configured widget.

When you select the value as **true**, employees can see the edit option used to modify the visibility settings. The modified visibility setting **\(employee\_profile.widget\_visibility\)** is stored in the user preference table. **Note:** Settings configured in the **Allow employee to control visibility** field take precedence over the settings configured in the **Accessible by** field to display the information. Employees can change the admin configuration and determine how much of the profile information is visible to the public.

Here’s a sample code for invoking the Public Profile Visibility widget. `data.publicProfileWidget = $sp.getWidget("public_profile_visibility", { tabWidgetMappingId: options.tabWidgetMappingId ? options.tabWidgetMappingId : "", isUserSelectionEnabled: options.isUserSelectionEnabled ? options.isUserSelectionEnabled : "", widgetTitle: options.widgetTitle ? options.widgetTitle : “” });`

`To embed it in your widget use the sp-widget directive. For example, <sp-widget widget="data.publicProfileWidget"></sp-widget>`

This field value is available in the **isUserSelectionEnabled** variable of the widget options object.

</td></tr><tr><td>

Widget

</td><td>

Widget to display on the tab.**Note:** Only when you map a widget to the tab, the information displays inside the tab on the employee profile page.

When the widget is visible on the UI, set the **isVisible** variable value to **true** in the server script data object to indicate the widget visibility. For example, **data.isVisible = true**.

For optimal tab load time, use a max of seven associated widgets, which can take 250 ms or equivalent.

**Note:** If the widget type is Employee Profile Overview, you can select the set of sections to be displayed under this widget.

</td></tr><tr><td>
