• (No Button) – Does not display a button. The In-App Announcement can be closed by clicking outside the window or by clicking the X on the top right corner.
• Take Me - To take your users to an already named page in your application (this named page on your application could also contain a URL outside of your app)

DELAY PRESENTATION

You can select this option to delay the presentation of your Announcement by 'x' seconds after your app loads.

SHOW MORE THAN ONCE

Toggle this on and select the number of times you would like to present an engagement. Selecting it will cause the Announcement to appear multiple times. The slider changes the number of times the Announcement will be displayed (5 times maximum). You can also adjust the timing to be less than 24 hours between showings as needed. If a user clicks a "Take Me There"-style button, the announcement will no longer show. If a user clicks a Dismiss button or the X in the top right corner, the announcement will continue to show based on the time and frequency selected.

ADD REMIND ME BUTTON

Toggle this on to add a Remind Me button. This button will override the SHOW MORE THAN ONCE option and will display the Announcement again 24 hours later.

RESET IMPRESSIONS

This option would be best useful for presenting a tour once every 'x' days - indefinitely until you pause the engagement. Enabling this option could be very dangerous - Ex: if you have enabled this option to reset engagement impressions once every '2' days, this engagement would be presented to your end users once every 2 days (indefinitely until the engagement is paused), even if the user has already seen the engagement. One other important point to note is that - if you configure to reset impressions once every 'x' days, the engagement results for that engagement would also be removed after the 'x' day period–meaning, there won't be a historical list of results unless you export the engagement result data once every two days

EDIT AUDIENCE

This button saves your progress for this Announcement and takes you to the audience configuration page.
