Overview
Whatfix enables you to create guidance overlays within Mirror simulations to build structured, interactive training experiences. While Mirror captures real workflows to provide a safe environment for your learners to practice and understand each step of a process, adding DAP Guidance to these simulations creates clear, guided training experiences that support onboarding and process practice.
For example, during a new hire onboarding program, you can display a Pop-up on the first Mirror Screen to introduce the workflow and launch a Flow that guides learners through each step. Additionally, you can add Smart Tips at key points to clarify actions, and use a Task List to track progress across workflows.
What is DAP on Mirror?
Digital Adoption Platform (DAP) on Mirror refers to the ability to create Whatfix Guidance content using Whatfix Studio, which then appears on Mirror. This enables you to:
Deliver product walkthroughs and task-based training in a simulation environment without impacting live data.
Add contextual guidance such as Smart Tips or Beacons on Mirror Screens.
Trigger Flows or additional guidance from specific interactions.
Combine simulations and guidance into complete training modules.
Benefits of DAP on Mirror
Supports and enhances training outcomes: Guidance adds the instructions, signals, and context that turn Mirror Screens into a clear, actionable training experience. Learners understand what to do at each step, reducing ambiguity about the process and building confidence in completing the workflow correctly.
Delivers guided, risk-free practice without extra environments: Guidance runs directly on the simulation, so no additional environments are required, and Workflows are practiced without touching live data. This avoids any risk to live data while still providing hands-on, step-by-step guidance.
Delivers scalable and consistent training: Guidance on Mirror enables many learners to practice the same Workflow at once and ensures a consistent experience across teams. This reduces the effort and cost of repeated or instructor-led training.
Note:
Whatfix enables you to create different types of DAP Guidance on Mirror. For more information, see Types of DAP Guidance on Mirror.
To create and publish DAP guidance that appears on Mirror, use Whatfix Studio and configure the visibility rules. For more information, see Create DAP Guidance on Mirror, Configure Where DAP Guidance Appears and Visibility and Display Rule Conditions.
