Your Heatmaps may be based on continuous capture
If you are on a Hotjar Business or Plus plan, your Heatmaps are based on continuous capture by default. As we transition to Continuous Heatmaps, you will still have access to manual snapshot-based Heatmaps as well. To learn more about Continuous Heatmaps.
Click on New Heatmap from the Heatmaps dashboard.
Enter the Heatmap name.
Select Number of Pageviews you want to capture.
The snapshot size will determine the number of pageviews Hotjar will track before it considers the Heatmap as complete. Not all snapshot sizes are available for all plans.
Set up Page Targeting.
You can set your Heatmap to target users on a specific page or collect data from multiple similar pages. If you have our Business plan, you will also be able to setup your Heatmap to only capture interactions when users trigger an event defined by Javascript.
If you wish to gather data from multiple pages, select the Starts with, Ends with, Contains or Regular expression match type. You can then optionally enter a Screenshot Page URL that will determine which page the screenshot will be taken of.
Save your Heatmap settings by clicking Create Heatmap.
Once you add a Heatmap to Hotjar, it will appear in your Heatmaps list:
Limitations
Hotjar Heatmaps currently have a few limitations, such as not being able to include dynamic content in the screenshot. See the short list of limitations here.
