Step 2: Add content to your segment

There are several ways to add content to your Self Help segment. For more information, see Add or remove content from Explorer. One way to add content to your segment is to enable the Add all existing and future content items toggle, which ensures all the content on your dashboard is present in the segment at all times.

This toggle is enabled by default in the Default Segment.

Only the first 20 pieces of content added to your segment are visible to your end users. The list of content visible to end users is called the default listing. To access the remaining content, end users can search for them.

To configure the content count in the default listing, contact support@whatfix.com.

Step 3: Set the Search Scope of your segment

The Search Scope of your segment determines what content is shown in the search results of the segment. There are two Search Scope options:

  • All Flows: Includes all content on your dashboard. This option is set by default.
  • Tags: Restricts what content shows in the search results of the segment using tags.
