Overview
After capturing the screen, you need to identify the unique UI elements on the screen and tag the screen so that the in-app experience you create appears on the right page.
Based on how the element is identified, a colored box appears around it. These boxes appear in one of three colors:
-
Green: If the selected element can be identified using its unique properties and identifiers, then a green box appears around it. This element is considered strong, that is, Whatfix Mobile can find the element on your mobile app screen.
-
Orange: If the selected element is identified via reference, then an orange box appears around it. This element is identified based on its position in reference to some other element.

Consider that you're creating content on a page where elements share non-unique IDs, such as on pages that have a lot of elements in a scrollable box, grid, or list. These elements have common identifiers on each row, which can make selecting a specific element challenging due to a lack of distinct identification.
If you want to always target the first element among those sharing a common identifier, enable the Remove Reference toggle to always prioritize the first element. For example, you can enable this toggle if you have a list of users and you want to always show a tooltip only on the first username.
- Red: If the selected element cannot be identified using any unique properties or by reference, then a red box appears around it. Whatfix Mobile cannot find this element on your mobile app screen. You may have to select another element.
Add Identifiers to UI elements
Use the following steps to add the identifiers to elements on your screen:

Ensure that you create the project and capture the screen before identifying the element.
- Click Add Identifier to identify the unique elements on the screen to tag the right screen.
- Click the desired element on the page.
Example: If you want to add Audio to the Home screen, you can choose the title Home, which can uniquely identify the screen and play the Audio on the correct screen.

Click Add More to select more elements on the page, and then repeat step 2.
With each unique element selected on the page, Whatfix Mobile can better identify your mobile app screen.
