# Field Visibility & Search Filter Configuration

Administrators can control exactly what batch information is shown and how the search filters behave.   
To access these settings, go to: **Side Menu > Admin > Widgets Settings > batch Enrollment Widget.**

For fields like **ID Number**, **Name**, **Description**, and **Program**, you have **four primary control states**:

- **Visible:** The field and its data are always shown. The user cannot use a search filter for this field.
- **Hide:** The field is completely removed from the user’s dashboard view.
- **Default:** The field follows the system’s original backend settings. A search filter box will be available for the user.
- **Lock:** The field is visible but the search filter is frozen. Users cannot change the results you have pre-defined.

####   
**Using Filter Values:**

The Filter Value box allows you to pre-fill the search criteria:

- **With "Default" setting:** If you enter a value (e.g., **batch ID '11111'**), the dashboard will show that result by default, but the user can delete or change it to search for something else.
- **With "Lock" setting:** If you enter a value, the user is forced to see only that specific result. They cannot edit or clear the filter box.
