The knowledge base area can be used to display knowledge base articles for customers and customer users. The knowledge base articles can be grouped into categories.
Note
To display a knowledge base article in the external interface, the state of the article needs to be External (customer) or Public (all). If the state is set to External (customer), the knowledge base article will be shown only for logged in customer users. If the state is set to Public (all), the knowledge base article will also be visible users who are not logged in.
Clicking on an article title opens the detail view of the article.
The detail view of the article can contain the sections:
-
Symptom
-
Problem
-
Solution
-
Rating
Note
The sections Symptom, Problem and Solution are only displayed if the corresponding field is filled with text when the article is created.
At the end of the article, the customer users can vote for the article. The results of the votes are displayed in the knowledge base article detail views.
