How to add a feature flag

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Login to Questera

• Visit the Questera and log in with your credentials.

1. Navigate to Feature Flags

• On the left-hand Nav bar, scroll down to find Track & Measurements.

4. Select the Feature Flag Template

• A pop-up will appear, asking you to choose the type of Feature Flag you want to create:

  • Kill Switch: A simple ON/OFF toggle (Boolean flag) that enables or disables a feature globally. Think of it like a safety switch—either the feature is live (true) or completely off (false).

  • Custom: A more flexible flag where you can define additional rules or attributes. Ideal for targeting specific user segments, A/B tests, or gradual rollouts.

• Select the template that suits your use case by clicking on it.

  • Description: Briefly describe what this flag controls (e.g., "Disables the new checkout flow for all users").

  • Targeted Element: Specify which part of the system or app this flag will impact (e.g., a button, page section, or API).

  • Element Content: Add details about what the feature does, if needed.

  • Tags: Organize your flag with relevant tags for easy searching

  • Status: Set the initial status of the flag:

    • Enabled (True): The feature is ON.

    • Disabled (False): The feature is OFF.

• Once done, click Save and Publish.

If you select Custom:
