Article summary

Whatfix enables you to organize content within your Self Help segment by creating Self Help groups.

Groups are collections of content within the Self Help segment. They function like folders. End users can click the group in the Self Help widget to view the content inside it.


You can create a group inside another group, called a nested group. Create up to 2 levels of groups in a Self Help segment.

The way you group content depends on your requirements. However, the following are some ideas for how you can group content:

  • By topic: Group together content related to the same subject. For instance, all content about a specific feature in your application could be in a single group.
  • By content type: Create separate groups for Flows, links, articles, and more.
  • By difficulty: If your content varies in complexity, consider creating groups such as Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced to cater to different proficiency levels.
