Self service tool to resolve or report building issues on your own

The new WalkMe Assistant which is powered by our DeepUI technology introduces a new approach that enables you to report issues or fine-tune your content within the flow of work, with very low friction and at unprecedented speed. Our advanced technology captures critical technical info “in the moment of truth” (as it happens), as well as clarifies your intent, and together it allows us to easily reproduce and troubleshoot issues and eventually drives a faster and easier resolution process. In this first version of the product that we are releasing, you will be able to: 

• Report building issues directly from the Editor, without submitting a support ticket
• Instantly and automatically resolve the Context issue related to: WalkMe items which shouldn't be on the page
• Resolve issues faster by having critical information captured in real-time and understanding your intention

Easily pinpoint WalkMe items attached to repeating elements

Context is a display condition that can be used to identify when an element should appear. Context uses DeepUI's smart element recognition to filter when an element that appears on many pages should have a WalkMe item attached to it. Pinpoint where WalkMe items that are attached to a repeating element will appear.

For example in software like Salesforce, there are repeating elements throughout every page, which can often lead to false-positives, playing WalkMe content where none was designed to be played. In this case, an item is displaying where it shouldn't be, you would use Context to remove the item from this page, similar to a rule with “on-screen element”.
