Step 1: Create a User Attribute
-
On the Whatfix Analytics dashboard, click Settings.
-
Under Integrations, click App integrations.
- Under My Integrations, click Attributes.

-
Click Save.
Note
-
User Attribute Name:
The user attribute name cannot begin with numbers, include spaces, or contain special characters (except underscores). -
Variable Type:
- String: Select this option to create a user attribute that matches the string value, such as a user name.
- Encrypted_string: Same as String Variable Type, but the data is encrypted and stored in the database.
- Double: Select this option to specify a single number. For example, employee number.
- Boolean: Select this option to create a user attribute that has either true or false values, such as whether the user upgraded the plan or visited a specific section of the app.
- Timestamp: Select this option to specify a single date or time, such as the user’s birth date, signup date, and more.
Step 2: Assign values to the User Attribute
Assigning values (user information) to the User Attribute enables creating and defining Visibility Rules for segmentation.
Note
To assign values to a User Attribute, contact support@whatfix.com.
Step 3: Add the User Attribute in Visibility Rules
Once the values are mapped to the User Attribute, they can be used in the Widget Visibility Rules for content segmentation.
Use the following steps to add the User Attribute in Visibility Rules:
-
In the Set Visibility Rules section, select User Attribute.
-
Select the User Attribute you created.
-
Select the operator and enter the value.
-
Configure additional Visibility Rules, if necessary, and complete creating the widget.
