In a project I am working on, the requirement is to show job positions but only those with a 'job opening status' set to Show.
Positions: A cloneable Group-type field
Job Opening Status: A Switch-type subfield
If there are no open jobs a separate text should appear.
When the Meta Box group is selected as the query type for the Bricks query loop, it outputs all the rows, including those for which the Job Opening Status subfield is false. This Pro tutorial shows how bricks/query/result filter can be used to limit the Meta Box group field's rows based on a boolean subfield value i.e., only show the open job positions.
Also, since the bricks_query_count dynamic data tag is not going to work for conditional checks due to use of the filter, we shall define a custom function to output either the jobs container or a fallback container conditionally.

Add elements inside and map their text/URL values to subfield values using Bricks' dynamic data tags.
Step 2
Add the following in child theme's functions.php (w/o the opening PHP tag) or a code snippets plugin:
