Hide Element

When you hide an element on your web page, the element continues to remain in the DOM in its place with its visibility updated.

Consider modifying the layout of your app's Recommendations section to use MoEngage's Product Grid. In such cases, you may wish to test the outcome by temporarily hiding the current layout and replacing it with MoEngage's Product grid before committing to the layout. This is where you can use the hide icon to hide any defined element in your application such as a section, text, image, or button.

Track Click

The Track click feature allows you to monitor the number of clicks on a certain element in your application.
Let's say your conversion goal is to get customers to buy a television using your app. So, you enable Track click on the selected product's Shop Now button to keep track of how many users clicked it.  Every click on the selected element will be tracked and reported in the Campaign Analytics of your MoEngage dashboard.

You can view the list of elements that have Track click enabled in the Goals dropdown and delete them if not required.

Info

You can track clicks on 10 elements in each variation.

Rearrange Element

The Personalize editor allows you to drag and drop the elements to the desired position on the application. For example, you may want to rearrange the elements on the top navigation bar.

Follow the steps below to rearrange elements:

  1. Click the element that needs rearrangement.
  2. Select Rearrange Element from the Personalize editor.
  3. Drag and drop the element to the desired position on the application.
  4. Select Save changes to confirm the rearrangement or Discard changes if you're unsure.

Once you publish the Experience, the changes will be automatically reflected in the application for targeted visitors. Similarly, you can rearrange the elements in different sections of your application.

Delete Element

When you delete an element on your web page, the element is removed from the DOM.

Additional Functionalities:

  • You can use the default auto property to define the selected element's size and position. In this case, the browser calculates the size and position of the element depending on the device in use.

  • The Interact mode interact mode.png allows you to close any pop-ups that block the page and to view all the changes that have been made to the webpage using the visual editor.
  • The Settings setting mode.png option allows you to select whether you want to keep the changes or the personalised experience for the current variantion across all devices or just the current device.

  • The Reset reset mode.png option enables you to delete all the changes done to the current variantion across all devices or a specific device.

  • While Reset enables you to delete all the changes done to the variation at once, Changes allows you to delete or edit the individual modifications done to each element in that variation.
    All the changes made to each element in the selected variation will be logged in the Changes dropdown. You can click the Changes dropdown and select delete to undo the modifications associated with that element. The GIF below shows an example of resetting the previously deleted Shop now button. As soon as you reset the change, the button reappears in its original position.undo.gif

  • Use Element ID

    An HTML element ID is a unique identifier used in website code to label a specific section or element on a web page. It helps to pinpoint and work with particular parts of a web page.

    What is HTML selector path?
    An HTML selector path, or a CSS selector, is a way to identify and select specific elements within an HTML document to apply styles to them. This path can include elements, IDs, classes, and other attributes to pinpoint the exact element or group of elements you want to style. It defines a chain of elements to follow in the HTML document structure to reach the targeted element.
    Screenshot 2024-06-03 at 3.41.14 PM.png
    By default, MoEngage Personalize editor Is configured to identify elements using IDs. If IDs are not present or specified, MoEngage uses the HTML selector path for the element.

    Webpages with elements having dynamic IDs

    • A webpage can have elements with dynamic IDs. Dynamic IDs are IDs that change every time the page loads or as a result of user interaction or a script running on the page.
    • For CSS styling and JavaScript manipulation, dynamic IDs can be challenging to work with because the identifiers are not consistent.

    In such cases, it is advised to disable the Element ID selector on the MoEngage editor and work with the HTML selector path of the element.
