Managing Knowledge Base Folders

Knowledge base articles are stored and organized using folders. For example, a financial institution using the knowledge base as a self-serve resource for customers may organize all of the articles related to savings accounts in one folder and articles related to checking accounts in another folder.

Creating Knowledge Base Folders

To add a new folder, click the icon in the lower, left corner of the navigation pane toolbar and select Add Folder. (You can also edit existing folders or delete folders from here.) This will open a new folder window with the following fields:

  • Folder - The name of the new folder.
  • Parent Folder - Select a parent folder from the list. Since folders are organized by a hierarchy, the new folder will be a subfolder of the parent folder.
  • Include articles in automatic searches - Enabling this means that any article added to this folder will be included in any automatic searches and article display prior to users submitting live chats or tickets using your portal.

Click Save.
