Animate the Self Help Tab

To help you improve the usage of Self Help, Whatfix enables you to catch the attention of your users by animating the Self Help tab. You can also configure a tooltip to appear on cursor hover to show the user a tooltip that introduces them to Self Help. Different configurable animation styles are available using which you can make your users aware of Self Help and show them how they can access it anytime they are looking for more information.

Carousel animation in Self Help

Additionally, you can also choose to add a carousel animation to the Self Help widget in the closed state. This draws end user attention to the closed Self Help widget and helps increase the opening rate of the widget.
When you add a carousel animation, the closed Self Help widget displays the following,

• A customizable icon of your choice (For more information, see Add an icon to Self Help)
• The number of integrated articles
• An icon of each of the repositories integrated with Whatfix
