Introduction
Automation is an exciting feature that makes it possible to trigger Interactivity without the visitor having to select a clickable area on the page. It can also be used to automatically close a pop-up box, such as a More Information module, which is useful if you want to display information for a limited time.
Example
Ryan has created a Social Media Policy that includes important information about the use of social media in the workplace. He has added a More Information pop-up box detailing the information and would like it to display for 5 seconds.
