Ask-Question Widget

The Ask Widget allows users to ask and/or search questions directly within Starmind from an external webpage. Most commonly, the Ask Widget is embedded in intranets and help desks, but can also be applied wherever a widget is possible.

Usage Examples

Setup

  1. The widget requires a small amount of HTML and a loader script to work. Use the
<!-- Starmind Widget loader -->
<script src="https://data.starmind.com/widget/ask/starmind-ask-widget-1.2.js" async defer></script>

<!-- Starmind Widget markup -->
<div class="stmw-search"
	data-domain="https://yournetworkname.starmind.com"
	data-source="intranet"
></div><br>
  1. You need to adjust the "data-domain" to your specific Starmind domain.

  2. Choose a name that describes best where the widget is placed and add it as "data-source".
