Follow this guide to create an App Tour that gives your employees an introduction to the different areas of your app.
App Tour & Translatable App Tour:
If you want the app tour to be translatable, then jump to the Translatable App Tour section below.
App Tour
The App Tour is created in one message with several pages. Each page consists of a grid module with an image - and the end users navigate between the pages to go through the App Tour.
Step 1: Create the content for the app tour
Decide on the areas you want to include in your App Tour
Create one image per area (graphics and explanatory text)
Image size H900 x W600 pixels (to fit a grid module with 3 rows, 2 tiles per row)
Example of images for an App Tour:
You can use any kind of graphical design programme like Figma, Photoshop etc. to create the images.
Tip!
We recommend to include a back and forth arrow in the images to indicate that it is possible to navigate through the images.
Step 2: Create the App Tour in Actimo
Create a new message for the App Tour and follow these steps:
Add as many pages as you need for the App Tour
Add a grid module with 2 tiles per row and add 6 tiles on all pages
Add the image for each of the pages
Add the navigation in the tiles on all the pages
Tile 3 - add navigation to the previous page (except the first page)
Tile 4 - add navigation to the next page (except the last page)
Navigate to advanced settings on the page and remove the insights bar to get a “clean” App Tour
Publish the app tour if you want it to be searchable in the app

Images size: H600 x W600 pixels (to fit a grid module with 2 rows, 2 tiles per row)
In this translatable version you should not include the explanatory text in the image -> the text is added in the text module inside the Actimo message in order to be translatable.

Tip!
We recommend to include a back and forth arrow in the images to indicate that it is possible to navigate through the images.
If you want a nice transition from the image to the text module in your app, we recommend adding a rectangle with rounded corners in the same color as your message background color in the bottom of the image.
