A “Visual Interaction Template” is essentially a visual interaction / mobile-friendly landing page which can be activated through a mobile / web browser and interface between the “User” and a “Thing”. Within the Qliktag Platform, a “Visual Interaction Template” is designed by dragging and dropping from a selection of available web controls, connecting the interaction design to various attributes within an “Entity”, defining a layout for the interface, configuring preferences and publishing the “Visual Interaction Template”. The published “Visual Interaction Template” can then be applied to a single “Thing” or millions of “Things” instantly creating individual url links for each “Thing” which can be accessed via a mobile device / web browser.

- Click the “Submit” button to save your settings and your template will be created.
