Base de connaissance

Gérer, éditez, et réorganisez les articles de la base de connaissance depuis le panneau base de connaissance.

This feature is optional; if you don’t see it in the main menu, that means your administrator hasn’t enabled it yet. Administrators can learn more on our admin documentation.

Knowledge Base Preview Mode

Le panneau de la base de connaissance commence dans un mode prévisualisation. Avec de rares exceptions, le mode prévisualisation montre à quoi ressemblera la base de connaissance.

Démarrage

Knowledge Base Link to published knowledge base

Utilisez le bouton ↗️ dans la barre d’outils en haut pour voir la base de connaissance publiée.

Knowledge Base Edit Mode

👆 Dans le mode d’édition, utilisez le menu main droite pour naviguer au travers de la base de connaissance.

Use the “Edit” button in the top toolbar to switch into Edit Mode (and back again). If you can’t see the « Edit » button, you should talk to your administrator about granting you the appropriate permissions. By default, agents are not permitted to create, edit, or manage knowledge base articles.

Changer de langages

Switch languages

Utilisez le menu langage pour voir ou éditer les traductions de la page actuelle.

If you select a language, in which the page hasn’t been translated into yet, the behavior depends on the state of the page:

Les pages non traduites sont marquées avec un ⚠️ panneau attention:

Les pages non traduites sont seulement visibles pour les utilisateurs ayant les permissions d’édition:

Using RSS Feeds

Zammad allows you to subscribe to either the knowledge base as whole or to specific categories. There’s both a public and an internal option to do so.

By default, RSS feeds are disabled. If you wish to use the RSS function, talk to your administrator about enabling the function.

The RSS button of the public knowledge base page is located at the bottom of each page. If enabled, the button will be available to anybody visiting the page.

Éditer des catégories

Edit category

You can relocate a category using the Parent menu. Doing so, all of its articles and sub-categories will be relocated with it.

You can delete categories by clicking on the 🗑️ Delete button. Categories can only be deleted once all of their articles and sub-categories have been deleted or relocated.

Granular Category Permissions

Granular category permissions are great to have individual access levels on a role level. Using the granular permissions of a category deactivates the default visibility behavior and applies the permissions you’ve chosen instead.

This allows you to divide user groups on a e.g. subscription level to reduce the information load for users that don’t need the information.

The roles require knowledge base reader permission. Your administrator has to provide the relevant groups with reader permissions for the knowledge base. If you’re unsure, please ask your administrator to configure the role permissions accordingly.

In general, permissions of a parent category are inherited! If you want to grant edit permissions for a sub-category for a specific role for example, set the upper level to « reader » and the desired sub-category to « editor ». The same workflow applies to granting « none » permissions, effectively hiding a given sub-category. The other way round is not possible. A role with « editor » permission has full access to it’s sub-categories, so it’s pointless to limit it’s permissions. « None » permissions also cannot be changed down the tree since there would be no path to access permitted sub-categories. If you can’t select permissions in the table, this could be the reason.

Avertissement

  • Be aware that public answers are always available!

  • Knowledge base reader permission means that affected users can see internal answers. This is a potential issue if you’re not dividing carefully!

Éditer des réponses

Edit answer

L’éditeur de la base de connaissance est proposé avec les même capacités d’édition en texte riche disponibles lors de la rédaction des tickets Zammad. Ce qui signifie que vous pouvez utiliser les mêmes raccourcis clavier pour insérer du texte formaté, des listes à puce, et plus encore. Vous pouvez même ajouter des pièces jointes et des liens!

Visibility

Set the visibility of an answer to control who can see an article, or schedule it to be published at a later date. Articles are color-coded according to their visibility:

Public (visible pour tout le monde)

Interne (visible seulement pour les opérateurs & rédacteurs)

Brouillon/planifié/archivé (visible seulement pour les rédacteurs)

Using answers in ticket articles

As soon as the knowledge base contains one or more answers, you can use these just like text modules. Instead of :: just use ?? to open the search modal. The search is done full text on both answer body and title in all languages available.

If you’ve found what you’ve been looking for, simply hit your ENTER-Key to load the answer into the ticket article. This way you don’t have to throw URLs at your customer and provide the answer right away.

Loading answers into articles does not replace article content.
