Drawers are in-app messages that slide from the sides (either left or right) of the app screen. They are useful to show information that needs to be easily accessible for your end users. For example, you can show help information on any app screen as a Drawer.
You can create and configure your Drawer using the following steps:
Step 1: Create a Drawer project
Step 2: Capture your Mobile app screens
Step 3: Identify the screen
Step 4: Design the Drawer

- Your Drawer project gets created and you are redirected to the Whatfix Mobile Studio.
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,
-
On the Identify Screen window, click + Add screen.

Step 3: Identify the screen

To identify the unique elements on the screen and to tag the right screen, click Add Identifier
-
Click the desired element on the page.
