This action is used to cause an element displayed on the page to fade if there is no interaction with the element for a specified period of time. A visitor may still interact with an element after it has faded, so you may wish to also use the Hide Content action if you do not wish the visitor to interact with the element after it has faded.
Note: This action is not intended for use with page elements that contain a modal invite as these remove control of the screen until the invite is accepted or declined. If you wish to use this action with a chat invite, please ensure the invite is set to non-modal.
The following configuration options are available for this action:
Delay: This is used to specify how long to wait before initiating the fade.
Duration: This is used to specify how long it should take for the element to fade.
Note: Having a Duration value that is greater than the interval between rule iterations may cause problems with the resource usage level by the visitor’s browser.
Hide After Fade: This is used to indicate whether the element should be hidden after the fade has completed.
Element Property: This is used to specify the method used to identify the page element you wish to use as a marker to insert the content. You can identify the page element using either the element name or the element ID.
Element Property Value: This is used to specify the element name or the element ID of the element which contains the information you wish to mask. If you check the Match using Regular Expression box, this field is used to enter the Regular Expression you wish to use.
Note: It is possible that multiple instances of a form field with the same name can exist on a web page. In this case, if the action is configured to fade an element with a name which is used more than once on the web page, the action will fade the first matched element name.
Test Regular Expression: This button appears when you check the Match using Regular Expression box. It is used to provide a sample of text against which to test the Regular Expression specified for this action. Type in some sample text and press the Test button. A tick or cross is displayed to indicate whether the Regular Expression is valid when run against the sample text provided.
Match Using Regular Expression: This instructs the action to use a regEx to identify the element(s) to hide. If you wish to use a regEx, check this box and enter the regEx in the Element Property Value text box.
Case Sensitive: This is used to specify whether or not the page element match should be case sensitive. Checking the box instructs the action to use case sensitive matching. This option is not available if you check the Match using Regular Expression box.
