Knowledge Management V3 homepage

The Knowledge Management V3 homepage displays knowledge articles and social Q&A questions organized by knowledge base and category, as well as featured content and popular articles.

To view the default knowledge homepage, navigate to Self-Service > Knowledge.

Note:

The knowledge homepage is not compatible with Internet Explorer 9 or earlier. Using one of these browsers will cause you to be redirected to the legacy knowledge portal.

The Knowledge V3 home page is not customizable. Use the Knowledge Management Service Portal for an easily configurable user experience.

If you access knowledge from a service management application, the knowledge homepage for the associate application opens.

Only published and not yet expired knowledge articles (that is the valid do date not yet reached) appear on the homepage.

From the homepage, you can import a Word document to a knowledge base using the Import Articles button.

Note: From Madrid, you can import a word document from the Import Articles module available in the Application Navigator. This feature is active by default for customers on Madrid and later releases. Existing customers on release versions prior to Madrid use the Word import functionality on the Knowledge V3 homepage. Upgrade customers use the Word import functionality on the Knowledge V3 homepage by default. If required, add the Import Articles module to the Application Navigator. If you add the module, the Import Articles button does not appear on the Knowledge V3 homepage.

You can also create a new article using the Create An Article button, or ask a question using the Post a Question button.

Note: You must have user criteria "Can contribute" permission for at least one active knowledge base, otherwise these buttons do not appear. See Migrate to Knowledge Management v3 and Knowledge manager.

You can select a knowledge base to browse articles and questions within that knowledge base. You can view only knowledge bases you can access.

Articles and questions are organized by category or by tag. Categories are listed alphabetically. While browsing, you can filter content by type to view only knowledge articles, only social Q&A questions, or only unanswered questions. You can sort content by most recent update or by number of views.

You can comment on an article. There is no HTML formatting available for comments on the Knowledge V3 homepage.

Existing customers on release versions prior to New York can view knowledge article feedback comments in the following ways.

On the Knowledge V3 homepage.
If the Knowledge Management — Service Portal plugin (com.snc.knowledge_serviceportal) is installed, on the Knowledge Service Portal.
If the Use Live Feed for knowledge feedback property is active, in the Live Feed.

For new customers on New York and later releases, comments can only be viewed in the Knowledge Service Portal.

An administrator can configure the knowledge homepage to display the number of articles and questions within each category. This count includes articles and questions from subcategories. To display the article and question count, set the knowledge homepage property Display or hide the count of articles and questions in the category and child categories (glide.knowman.show_number_on_categories) to true.
