Whatfix Mirror enables you to manually link the captured screens to simulate real user interactions within a web application. This functionality becomes particularly valuable when dealing with scenarios where two or more interactive elements or UI elements need to be incorporated into a single Mirror Screen.
For instance, you may want to hyperlink the home screen icon on all Mirror screens to the web application's homepage in the Mirror.
Manually linking screens ensures that your Whatfix Mirror behaves just like a web application, enabling users to seamlessly go between different sections of the simulated environment.
Use the following steps to manually link a Mirror Screen to an existing Mirror Workflow:
-
Launch Whatfix Studio on your application.
-
Click Mirror.
-
Select the Mirror Workflow to which you want to add a new link.
-
Click the More icon.
-
Go to the Mirror Screen to which you want to link, and then click Preview.
-
Click the Create Link icon.
-
Click Add new link.
-
Select the UI element to capture the screen.
-
Choose the Mirror Screen to link with the selected UI element.
-
Choose the screen.
-
Click Linked screens to verify the linked screens.
To verify whether the new link works, refresh the page and click the linked element.
Use the following options to preview or delete a linked screen:
- Click the Back icon to go back to the Mirror workspace.
- Screen linkages are automatically saved when you close the web page or click the Back icon.
- You cannot manually link Workflows that are in the Ready and Production stage of the Mirror Dashboard.
- Workflows in the Ready and Production stages do not appear in the Whatfix Studio.
