Overview

Whether configuring a Guide, Hotspot, Checklist, etc., you will always notice a section called Page Targeting.

That section allows you to define what page or pages you want your UserGuiding content to be displayed on.

How to Utilize Targeting?

• Enter the URL where your content should be displayed
• Select the relevant rule to your use case (equals, starts with, etc.)
• If needed, you can add more URLs by clicking on + Add a Target
• When using multiple URLs, combine them with AND or OR conditions
  

 Common Scenarios

• Combining Pages
• Combining Subpages
• Excluding Specific Pages
• Dynamic URLs

Combining Pages

Goal: To target only these two pages.

• https://myplatform.com
• https://myplatform.com/blog
  

Solution: Combine both pages with equals. Remember to use OR since a user can't be on both pages simultaneously.

Combining Subpages

Goal: To target all subpages.

• https://myplatform.com/dashboard
• https://myplatform.com/calendar
• https://myplatform.com/...
  

Solution: Set an inclusive rule based on the common bit of the URLs.

Excluding Specific Pages

Goal: To target all subpages except the log-in one.

• https://myplatform.com/dashboard
• https://myplatform.com/calendar
• https://myplatform.com/...
• https://myplatform.com/login
  

Solution: Set an inclusive rule based on the common bit of the URLs and combine it with a restrictive one.

Dynamic URLs

Sometimes, a URL may contain user-specific data, which can be positioned at the beginning, middle, or end of it.

1. In the Beginning

Goal: To target a dynamic URL where the user-specific information is in the beginning.

• https://12345.myplatform.com/
• https://64321.myplaform.com/
• https://27278.myplaform.com/

Solution: Set an inclusive rule based on the common bit of the URLs.

2. In the Middle

Goal: To target a dynamic URL where the user-specific information is in the middle.

• https://myplatform.com/12345/dashboard
• https://myplaform.com/64321/dashboard
• https://myplaform.com/27278/dashboard

Solution: Set an inclusive rule based on the common parts present at the beginning and end of the URLs.

3. In the End

Goal: To target a dynamic URL where the user-specific information is in the end.

• https://myplatform.com/dashboard/12345
• https://myplaform.com/dashboard/64321
• https://myplaform.com/dashboard/27278

Solution: Set an inclusive rule based on the common bit of the URLs.

Remember to save and publish changes once you have finished with these settings. Your content will be displayed on all pages that match the Page Targeting.
