Introduction
The Other Elements on Page rule can be used when you want to place some content or widget like Self Help, Smart Tip, Beacon, etc. only when a particular element is present or not present on the underlying application. For example, you may want to show a Self Help only when the user is not logged in to the application, in such a case you can use Other Element on Page as a Visibility rule and add the login button as an element. This ensures that the Self Help is only shown when the login button is present on the page.

Use Cases
Display a Self Help only when there is a login button on the application
You may want to show a Self Help that would guide a user who has not logged in. After creating the Self Help, set the Visibility rule as Other Elements on the page and select the rule Exists CSS Selector and then add the CSS selector like an ID, class, type, etc. for the login button. This way you can ensure that the Self Help is only shown to a user who has not logged in.
Show a Task List to only premium users
Your application may have standard and premium users where the features of the premium plan differ from the standard plan. You may want to display a Task List only to the premium users with the tasks that will guide them to use the premium features. Using the other element on page as a Visibility rule you can achieve this. Identify an element that is unique to the premium users and add it as rule.
