Is it possible to have a visualization show up/populate only after a parameter in the controls panel is selected? Can we make that parameter a required parameter?
Thank you!

Hi @Surya_Raviraj! I don't believe it's possible to show/hide a visualization based on the controls selection. The panel would still appear with "No results found" if there are no matching results.
There is [an open enhancement issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/87705) around adding support for requiring controls.
