# IntentVisibility

A value that configures how a property is available to system features, such as Siri and Shortcuts, if at all.

```
struct IntentVisibility
```

## Overview

System features such as Siri and Shortcuts list an app entity’s properties to people and to the model when you apply the [`default`](/documentation/AppIntents/IntentVisibility/default) option.
However, you can limit a property’s visibility to just your app and its extensions by applying the [`internal`](/documentation/AppIntents/IntentVisibility/internal) option.
For example, apps typically apply this option to properties with sensitive information.

```swift
struct Contact: AppEntity {
    @Property(title: "Tax ID", visibility: .internal)
    var taxID: String
}
```

> Note: Don’t combine the ``doc://com.apple.AppIntents/documentation/AppIntents/IntentVisibility/internal`` option with an indexing key for Spotlight, such as `indexingKey` or `customIndexingKey`,
> because the keys make the property discoverable from Spotlight.
