Operators in Whatfix help determine whether a Visibility or Display rule condition is met according to a set value and thus show content based on it.

There are three types of operators supported by Whatfix:

Basic Supported Operators

Some operators in Whatfix are supported by all the Visibility and Display rule conditions, except the Other Elements on Page rule.

Not Equals Doesn't equal the value
Contains The set value is present anywhere in the value of the condition (Check for strings).

Ends With The set value is at the end of the value of the condition.

  • Greater Than and Less Than accept only numerical values.
  • For Date Greater Than/Less Than in Window Variable, the default format is "MM/DD/YYYY". The format can be changed to match your system's date format. To change the format, contact support@whatfix.com.
  • For Date Greater Than/Less Than in User and Enterprise Attributes, the default format is the ISO date format.
    For example, 2001-08-19T17:38:56.235+0000, YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.sss. The +0000 indicates the offset from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).
    • Date: August 19, 2001 (YYYY-MM-DD)
    • Time: 17:38:56.235 (HH:MM:SS.sss)
    • Time zone offset: +0000 (UTC)

  • User Action only supports the Completed operator.
  • Completed is not available for any other Visibility and Display rule.

Note
  • If you create a Smart Tip inside iFrames, then the window variable must be pointed to the respective frame. You may use window.frames.
  • If you are adding multiple conditions, then the tip is displayed only if all the conditions are true. (Similar to the Boolean AND)
