Checklist as a part of your user onboarding


Single product tour is often enough to welcome and onboard your users. When dealing with more complex products it is good to remind ourselves that users are human - and we humans can absorb only certain amount of information at the same time.



To help your users onboard to complex products, split the experience into simpler atomic parts. Checklist is a great way to organize these atomic tours and to give the users a continual gratification as they continue exploring your solution.




To provide your users with a checklist for all available product tours, follow these instructions:


1. Create multiple product tours


First, create multiple product tours. Try Usetiful free to get started!

2. Target product tours to a single location


Target the tours to the same page and enable Usetiful button with at least one tour. The checklist will automatically appear in the right bottom corner.





Please keep in mind that uncompleted tour with enabled autoplay will be shown first before a checklist is accessible.

3. Customize button label


Set the same label to all product tours with enabled Usetiful button, and it will be automatically inherited by the checklist.



4. Tricks and tips

  • Your checklist can contain tours leading to different pages. When creating a tour, include redirect to the target address as the first step.
  • To play the whole checklist automatically, enable the autoplay option in all tours (to ensure they all have the same priority at the beginning). That way, if there is one incomplete tour in the checklist, it has the highest priority and will run automatically.

The Dos and Don'ts of Creating an Interactive Product Demo

  Buyer behavior is changing. In the past, the CEO or CTO called the shots and made all the software purchasing decisions. However, modern buying is more collaborative, with an average of 11 stakeholders involved in B2B deals. This shifting landscape was further highlighted in a recent G2 buyer report. Their research pointed out that with so many software solutions on the market, customers were struggling to choose the right product.  One of the primary barriers for customers includes finding reliable, impartial information on products.

Usetiful: An Intercom and Appcues Alternative That Won’t get Ad Blocked

  Around the world, more than 40% of internet users use ad blocker software. However, for specific demographics (16-34-year-olds), ad-block use is almost 50%. Moreover, ad-block use is growing all the time, and not just on desktop computers but on mobile devices too. All of that is bad news for websites that monetize through online ad revenues. But there is another set of website owners that ad blockers can hurt too. If you use a digital adoption platform (DAP) for user onboarding or product tours on your website, some ad blockers will stop it from working because of the ways they use Javascript. While Javascript is a fantastic way to improve your website content, there are some downsides for users. In particular, it is used to serve ads and can facilitate ad tracking. Ad-blocking plugins or extensions allow users to block Javascript with tracking functionality.  This problem affects Intercom Product Tours, Appcues, and Userguiding in specific situations, according to their r...
