Thank you for your feedback
Each tooltip must be appropriately placed so that it doesn't obstruct the end user's view of other important information on your desktop application. In most cases, the tip is auto-positioned by Whatfix in the best position. However, you can alter it using the position selector, if needed.
The position of the Tooltip can be changed in two ways:
Info:
Expand the accordions for more details.
While creating a Flow
- Open the desktop application where you would like to create the Flow and then launch the Whatfix Desktop Studio.
- Click Flow.
- Enter the name of the Flow as you want it displayed to the users.
- Click + Add Step.
- Under Choose step type, select the Flow step type.
Note:
- With the Flow enhancement feature, you have the option to select two types of Flow steps, and not just element latching Flows. A dialog box appears on the application to highlight the two types of Flows. Under Choose step type, select a Flow step based on your requirements: either Attached to element or Free-floating.
| Attached to element | Free-floating |
|---|---|
| When you select this type of Flow step, it remains attached to an element on your application. | When you select this type of Flow step, it remains flexibly positioned devoid of any element attachment. |
You also have the option to select a default template by clicking Set as Default for all the subsequent steps in a Flow. If you change the default step at an enterprise (ENT) level, it appears the same for all the users using that ENT.
For more information, see Free-floating steps in Flows and Create a Flow with Free-floating steps.
The Flow enhancement feature is in Beta currently. Contact support@whatfix.com for more information.
Click the desired element on the page that the user needs to select.
Enter the action text and any additional information that you want to provide in the description section of the tooltip.
Under Configurations, expand Position and select the desired position of the tooltip.
Note:
Some positions may not be available based on the element location on the page. This way Whatfix recommends the best position for a tooltip.
- Click Save Step to finish creating the step, and then continue creating the Flow.
After creating a Flow
On the Whatfix Guidance dashboard, click Content.
Click Flows.
Hover your cursor over the Flow you want to update, and then click the Edit icon.
Go to the step and then click the Edit icon.
Scroll down to the Position the Tooltip section.
Change the position of the Tooltip as needed.
Click Save Step.
