   • For Invisible blocker, you can change only the Tooltip type, Color, Close (X), and Close (X) color.

      

   • For Visible blocker, you can choose not only the Tooltip type, Color, Close (X), and Close (X) color, but also the Opacity and Grey filter of the Blocker.

Once you have created the Blocker collection, a segment is automatically created on the Whatfix Dashboard. Go to the Widget section on the Dashboard and move the associated Blocker segment from Draft to Production.

Note:

Blocker is WCAG compliant and can be accessed and used by end users who rely on using assistive technologies such as screen readers. For more information, see Accessibility in Whatfix. To understand how end users with disabilities can access Blockers, see Is the Blockers feature on Studio WCAG compliant?

1. On the Whatfix Dashboard, click Widgets.

    

2. Click Blockers.

    

3. In the Draft stage, hover your cursor over the auto-created segment, and then click the Edit icon.

    

4. Click Set Visibility Rules and configure the Visibility Rules that determine how the Blocker collection appears to the end users.

   Info:

   To understand New Visibility Rules, see Understand how content is shown based on New Visibility Rules.

5. Click Save.  

6. Once you have configured the Blocker segment, select the segment using the checkbox, and then click Send to ready.

   

    

7. Go to the Ready stage, and then click Publish.

   

   Note:

   • Ensure that you push the widget first from the Widgets section, as this guarantees that the segment and its associated content are simultaneously pushed to Production. For more information on pushing a widget to Production, see Push Whatfix content and widgets to Production.
