Tell us what you are trying to do?
I'm attempting to display the value of a custom field from a related CPT post at the top of a cred form as filtered by the post id in a URL parameter. When the parameter is set, it works beautifully, but I'd like for it to display "us" instead of the name that is contained in the custom field if the parameter is not set. I though I could accomplish this with a view that is filtered by URL parameter, but instead of it returning no results and the default content for an empty query, it is showing all results. Is there an easier way to achieve this?

Is there any documentation that you are following?
No

Is there a similar example that we can see?
hidden link

Try removing the URL parameter from that link to see that all results are being inserted.

Hello,

You can use shortcode [wpv-search-term param="staffmember"] to get the URL parameter "staffmember" value, and check it with [wpv-conditional] shortcode, then display what you want, for example:

[wpv-conditional if=" ( '[wpv-search-term param="staffmember"]' eq '') "] Us [/wpv-conditional]

[wpv-conditional if=" ( '[wpv-search-term param="staffmember"]' eq '') " evaluate="false"] Display your post view here ....  [/wpv-conditional]
