Manage layers

With the "Manage Layer" module you can generate and manage layers, i.e. "popups on the same page". This can be done depending on certain criteria such as if the user has spent a certain amount of time on a subpage or on the entire page, if the user comes to the page via a certain link, if the user is a mobile user, etc.

This function is available in the following packages:

wisy base

wisy advanced

wisy pro

wisy expert

You can use the address groups to create different lists and thus specify different address searches on the page, for example.

Name

Type
The type defines which condition must be met to display the layer. Multiple conditions are also allowed. But only one of them must be fulfilled.
