Controlling Field Visibility

You can control the visibility of entry fields in the Live Center editor in the same way as you control the visibility of content item fields in Content Studio, by adding ui:visibility elements (see http://docservices.dev.escenic.com/ece-resource-ref/5.7/ih_visibility.html) to field definitions. The ui:visibility values are used by Live Center as described in the following table. Visibility may be different in the event feed than it is in an entry editor.
