What is Segmentation?

Segmentation helps you display walkthroughs that are relevant to users on a particular page. Segmentation, as the name implies,  provides a way of targeting walkthroughs to specific users on widgets like Self-help and Task list. Segments can be defined through various conditions and rules. For example, a segment can be built to filter your walkthroughs as per user login, URL, elements on the screen, and/or a mix of other criteria.

Using Segments

Segments may be used to displays walkthroughs based on:

• A particular group of users logins
• Current tab the user is in
• Visual elements on the page
• Any variable you define

For example, if your page has two different tabs: Leads and Contacts, using segments, you can display different walkthroughs depending on which tab the user navigates to.

Creating Segments

Segments can be created through a simple selection of walkthroughs and visibility rules inside your Whatfix editor. To segment walkthroughs, manually select all the necessary flows to display on a page.  Segmentation can be done based on tags as well. Tags can be as simple as a user group or the page/module name. Segmentation of flows can be through single or multiple tags.

Whatfix performs segmentation on the basis of visual elements on your application. It displays flows on elements present (or absent) in the web application.

Perform Segmentation:

1. Navigate to the Whatfix dashboard.
   
2. In the left panel, click the WIDGETS tab and then select the widget you want to segment.
   
3. Click New Segment.
   The visibility rules for Segmentation can be set based on three elements of your application.

For more details on the conditional elements, see Identifying conditions for showing tooltips.

Add Content:

The Whatfix editor allows you to choose walkthroughs individually. To add walkthroughs, click the Select Flows option and select the flows to be displayed.

Display all walkthroughs in that particular segment or you can select them on specific tags you have created.
