Control value model visibility and tag mappings

The Value Models section of the Showpad Value Factory Admin Extension controls which sellers can see each value model in Showpad, and which Showpad tags trigger a model to appear automatically. Use visibility to manage access, and tag-based visibility to surface the right calculator when a seller views tagged content.

When visibility is set to Tag Based, the model only appears in Showpad when a seller views content carrying one of the mapped tags. If no tags are added, the model will not be visible in Showpad even if it is published.

The Visible toggle in Value Model Configuration in Value Factory is a separate master switch. A model with the Visible toggle off will not appear in Showpad regardless of the visibility setting here.

You need this to succeed

The quick way

1. In the Showpad Admin App, go to Settings, then select Showpad Value Factory in Showpad Apps.
2. In the Value Models table, set Showpad Visibility for each model.
3. If using Tag Based, type to search and select the relevant Showpad tags in the Showpad Tags field.

Do this step by step

Set value model visibility

1. In the Showpad Admin App, go to Settings, then select Showpad Value Factory in Showpad Apps.
2. In the Value Models table, find the model you want to configure.
3. In the Showpad Visibility column, choose a visibility option from the drop-down:
   • Always Visible: The model appears for all sellers in Showpad.
   • Hidden: The model does not appear for any sellers. Use this during setup or when retiring a model.
   • Tag Based: The model appears only when a seller views Showpad content with a matching tag.
4. If you select Tag Based, in the Showpad Tags text box, type to search and select from your existing Showpad tags. You can add multiple tags to the same model. Tags are limited to 50 characters each. Commas are not allowed. A warning appears if you select Tag Based but don't select any tags. The model will not appear in Showpad until you add at least one valid tag.
5. Changes save automatically.

Set up the Asset Viewer extension

The Asset Viewer extension surfaces Showpad Value Factory alongside Showpad content when a seller opens an asset. You configure which assets trigger it in Manage Apps.

1. In the Admin App, go to Manage Apps and find Showpad Value Factory.
2. Under Asset Viewer Extensions, select Enablism Calculator.
3. Choose which assets display the extension:
   • All assets: The extension appears whenever a seller opens any asset.
   • Assets matching these tags: The extension appears only when a seller opens an asset with a matching Showpad tag.
4. If you select Assets matching these tags, add the relevant tags.
5. Click Save.

Note: For tag-based triggering, the same tags control both Asset Viewer visibility and value model visibility. A seller who opens a tagged asset will see the extension, but will only see value models mapped to that tag in the Value Models table above.
