Creating content

Placing content (DOM bound)

Yes, it generally is possible to place content anywhere, but content owners should walk on the edge of choosing too big containers and choosing to small containers.

...

Of course we do not discourage you to use most accurate containers, just be aware of all the points above and you will be fine!

User specific content

Yes, we do support template hotspots and dynamic content, but remember that some pages have user specific content. You should not place any content in a document which is user created. Place content on site native elements, here are some bad practice examples:

  • Placing content inside a Microsoft Form is not so smart, mainly because not all forms may have this type of question or button

  • Placing content on a folder in OneDrive because some people may neither have a file nor a folder, where does their content go?

  • Placing content on objects that are obviously only available for restricted groups, e.g. "Admin Tool, click here" will end up lost for 90% of the users because they don't see any admin functionality

Creating workflows

Remember clearly what GRAVITY does. We strongly recommend to stick to these principles, otherwise you may generate more confusion than clearance with your workflows.

User specific content (again)

Remember the basics, we can not open anything for you. This makes it impossible to use a workflow to open a document or form. We recommend to do two workflows here, one ending with the "opening", the next one starting as soon as the document is open, placing content on application elements of course not inside the document!

Workflows with user actions / forks

There is two patterns you can use to guide a user around some user action or a fork. Imaging the scenario that a user has to open a menu, then either pick A or B and according to that he of course will see different content.

Using a video

  1. Record a video of yourself interacting with the menu

  2. Upload the video to a GRAVITY supported platform

  3. Create a callout besides the menu showing your video

    1. Image Modified

Multiple starts

  1. Place more than hotspot besides the button, use this procedure every time your workflow forks
