# Create Explorer

Create and configure Explorer component on Hub using the DAP on OS dashboard.

When your users open the **Explorer** component on their desktop, they can access content, which is specific to your organization across different applications such as support articles, Confluence documentation, or information on compliance and security.

Use the following steps to create a Self Help segment:

1. On the DAP on OS dashboard, click **Widgets**. ![hub_click_widgets1](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/Dashboard_Widgets_Click%281%29.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T10%3A09%3A54Z&se=2026-11-12T11%3A09%3A54Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=%2BuZNE4STIhHMzLzYielKIIaBybZWn9qLOZkCraGv4dM%3D)

Info:

- DAP on OS enables you to add any number of content to Self Help. However, by default, when the content is rendered to your end users, they will see only the first 20 items in the list.
- Configure Self Help to display up to 200 items in the segment by contacting [support@whatfix.com](mailto:support@whatfix.com?Subject=Display%20200%20items%20in%20Self%20Help&Body=Hello%20Team%2C%0A%0AI%20want%20to%20configure%20Self%20Help%20to%20display%20up%20to%20200%20items%20in%20the%20segment.%20Kindly%20provide%20assistance.%20%0A%0AAccount%20information%3A%0A%0AThanks%20and%20regards.).

Note:

- Create static content such as images, videos, pdfs, and more, and create groups within Self Help using the **Create** button. ![DB_SHclickcreatebutton](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/DB_SHclickcreatebutton.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T10%3A09%3A54Z&se=2026-11-12T11%3A09%3A54Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=%2BuZNE4STIhHMzLzYielKIIaBybZWn9qLOZkCraGv4dM%3D)
