Environments
In the Environment tab, you can manage all aspects related to your system environment.
Default "Production" and "Test" environments are automatically generated during system creation. These two environments are immutable, meaning they cannot be altered (renamed or deleted).
All environment management settings apply to both Web and Mobile Web platforms.
Click the blue + to create a custom environment
Once a new environment is created, you will be prompted to copy the corresponding snippet for the system.
If the deployment method is using an extension, relevant URLs for the environment can be configured in the Extension tab.
For detailed requirements, refer to the "Extension" section.
Renaming and deleting environments
“Production” and “Text” environments cannot be altered, but you can rename and delete custom environments.
- Hover over the custom environment
- Click on the 3-dot options menu
- Click Rename or Delete
Restoring deleted environments
Any custom environments that have been deleted will be moved to the Deleted Environments tab and can be restored at any time.
- Hover over the custom environment
- Click the Restore button
Extension
An extension is automatically created for each account, and any new system created is added to the extension but not activated by default.
Read about enabling and configuring the extension:
System Users
This tab displays a list of all users assigned to work on the system.
- Click the + button to remove or add additional users to the system
All settings under the Systems Users tab apply to both Web and Mobile Web platforms.
- After selecting the users, click Next
- Click Assign
Multi-Language
In the Multi-Language tab you can select how you want WalkMe to identify the site language.
The available options are:
- HTML language attributes
- Auto-detect
- URL parameter

- Cookie
- jQuery
All settings under the Systems Users tab apply to both Web and Mobile Web platforms.
Data Settings
Unique user identifier (UUID)
Set a UUID to define how you would like to collect data about your end users.
- Hovering over each value in the UUID dropdown will show a tooltip
- For accounts with an IDP already configured, this option will be pre-selected
Unique User Settings (UUID) apply separately for Web and Mobile Web platforms.
Data Collection Level
Select the level of data collection for WalkMe Insights
Accessibility
You can use the Accessibility tab to enable accessibility on the system or account level. Enabling it on the account level means that any new system created will have accessibility settings turned on by default, but won't affect any existing systems.
-
You can now have the option to enable accessibility on the system or account level
-
To enable the accessibility setting, turn ON the toggle
-
If you wish to enable accessibility for the entire account, meaning any new system created will have accessibility settings turned ON by default (not apply on already existing systems), check the relevant checkbox
-
If accessibility has been enabled at the account level by a WalkMe employee through http://backoffice.walkme.com , the toggle will be turned ON by default
-
There will be no option to turn it OFF independently; contact support if you want accessibility to be disabled
-
Accessibility settings apply separately for Web and Mobile Web platforms.
Building Settings
Building settings let you enable screenshot settings and theming for your system.
- Turn on Enable screenshot capturing to take a screenshot when an element is captured for a step, rule, SmartTip, or launcher
- The screenshot will include the element highlighted by the element selector
- Select Blur the screenshots if you want the screenshots to be blurred
- Turn on Theming enablement to enable Theming for the system
- "Production" and "Test" environments are automatically generated during system creation
- These two environments are immutable, meaning they cannot be altered (renamed or deleted)
- The name assigned to the environment must be a single word with a maximum length of 100 characters, without spaces or special characters, and cannot be "Preview"
