When a step has multiple tips, but you want the step count functionality to be meaningful, assign a step number to the tip so that the user can better understand where they are in the process.

15. Custom class

Where applicable you can enter a custom CSS class that will apply to the tooltip. To add multiple custom classes, separate each class with a single whitespace.

This setting includes 2 preset custom classes (button and banner) which can be selected from the drop-down menu when the field is selected, as shown below:


Button and Banner

Selecting either option will convert the current tooltip to either a banner or button, based on your selection. You can adjust the width and height of these elements using the Tip Width and Tip Height settings.

Note:

To implement additional custom class images, you will need to update the OGL Theme Design Kit and related CSS classes. Refer to the Theme section of the user guide for more information.
16. Show beacon

Enable a flashing beacon associated with the target element to draw the end user's attention.

17. Disable Element

Blocks the user from interacting with the highlighted element. Use this option if you want to highlight a button and explain it while making sure the user cannot select it.

18. Change Highlight Element

While the tip will always point to the target element, you can choose to highlight a different element on the screen.

This is commonly used in steps that require two actions. For example, consider a step that says “Enter criteria, then select Search.” The target is the search area, but the highlighted element is the Search button.
