Article Summary

Creating a Self Help Segment enables you to show different content to different groups of users on the same page. For example, when an admin user opens Self Help on your desktop application home page, the content that is displayed is specific to what an admin user does. This can be very different from what a basic user sees on the same page.

Use the following steps to create a Self Help segment:

  1. On the Whatfix Guidance dashboard, click Widgets.
    ia_left_nav_widgets

  2. Click All widgets.
    ia_widgets_all_widgets

  3. Click Create widget.

    • Whatfix enables you to add any number of content to Self Help. However, by default, when the content is rendered to your end users, they will see only the first 20 items in the list.
    • You can configure Self Help to display up to 200 items in the segment by contacting support@whatfix.com.

    • You can create static content like images, videos, pdfs, etc, and create groups within Self Help using the Create button.

    • Add your existing content repository to show repository content as links in Self Help, using the Integrate repository link.

    • If you want to add all the content created on your account to the Self Help segment, enable the Add all existing and future content items toggle. Enabling this also adds any newly created content to Self Help automatically.
