Step 2: Capture your Mobile app screens

You can capture screens as a one-time step using the Whatfix Creator widget. This widget enables you to capture app screens as screenshots and saves them to your Whatfix Mobile Dashboard to create in-app guidance content. It also enables you to preview your projects and test them before publishing.

For more information on how to capture and add app screens, see Capture Mobile app screens.

Use the following steps to add a screen,

  1. On the Identify Screen window, click + Add screen.

Step 3: Identify the screen

After capturing the screen, you need to identify the unique elements on the screen and tag the screen so that the in-app experience you create appears on the right page.

  1. To identify the unique elements on the screen and to tag the right screen, click Add Identifier
    add_identifier

  2. Click the desired element on the page.
    identifier_home

Example: If you want to show any Gesture on the Home screen, you can choose the title Home, which can uniquely identify the screen and show the Gesture on the correct screen.

    • AUTO DISMISS: Enabling the AUTO DISMISS toggle helps you to automatically dismiss the Gesture without your end user's intervention after a delay of a few seconds which you can set.

    • ELEMENT TRIGGER: Set the following conditions to trigger the Gesture:
      Screen detection - instant makes the Gesture appear instantly on the app's screen as soon as the user navigates to that screen
      element_trigger_instant

      Screen detection - After delay makes the Gesture appear on the app's screen after a delay. Set the delay in seconds
      screen_detection_delay

    • ELEMENT TERMINATION: Set the following conditions to terminate the Gesture:
      Never: When you set this condition, the Gesture shows up every time your user opens the app and navigates to the particular app screen
      element_termination_never

      After 'n' sessions: A session is defined as every time your end user closes the app and opens it again. When you set this condition, the Gesture disappears from the app's screen after your end user has closed the app, opened it, and then navigated to the particular app screen for a set number of times. Set the number of sessions after which the Gesture must stop appearing.
      element_termination_n_sessions

The Gesture you create is automatically saved.
