Article summary

Consider you have multiple UI elements all performing a similar function, like elements of a dropdown menu on a page. Instead of having to create different Smart Tips for each element, Whatfix enables you to select all the similar UI elements and create a single Smart Tip that appears when any of the elements are selected.

Here’s a GIF of how Multi-element Selection works.

Multi element

With the Multi-element Selection mode enabled, whenever a content creator selects an element on a page, Whatfix automatically highlights similar elements that are present on the page. Content creators can then confirm the selection and proceed to create content for the selected elements.

This feature is only available for Flows, and Smart Tips (excluding Validation Tips) with On Hover/Focus over the element set as the appearance style of the Smart Tip.

On selecting an element, if you notice that Whatfix is not highlighting any elements or highlighting the wrong elements, then click any other element that you think is similar. This provides Whatfix with more data on what should be considered similar and improve selection.

  1. Confirm if all your desired elements are selected, and then click Confirm Selection.

  2. Create content by adding relevant information to the tooltip.

  • Ensure that the step completion rules are met even if the end user clicks any of the elements of a table in an application.
