Article summary

Each Flow in Whatfix can have its unique properties, such as themes, end messages, tooltip color, font size, and more.

For example, all the Flows in your account can have the Classic theme, but one or more Flows of your choice can have the Modern theme applied to them. You also have the option to customize the tooltips for Flows using CSS customization and AI CSS customization. For more information see how to use CSS customization of tooltips and AI CSS customization of tooltips.

A dialog box appears on the application to highlight the two types of Flows. Under Choose step type, select a Flow step based on your requirements: either Attached to element or Free-floating.

Studio switcher enables you to switch between 2 flow types: element-attached flow types and free-floating flow types

  • You also have the option to select a default template by clicking Set as Default for all the subsequent steps in a Flow. If you change the default step at an enterprise (ENT) level, it appears the same for all the users using that ENT.

Note:
Info:

A Flow can be configured at both Flow level and Account level. For example, if you have set your Flow theme as Modern at the Account level and set the theme for a particular Flow as Ivory at a Flow level, then that Flow would have the Ivory theme. If you want to change the account level configuration, see Configure Themes and Tooltips.
