Knowledge Is Power

Having a quality supply of knowledge articles on your self-serve site can do wonders for case deflection, customer satisfaction, and agent productivity. Currently the hard-working support agents at Category 1 Biking rely on FAQs taped to office walls and cash registers. Time to upload those FAQs to a site!

Configure Lightning Knowledge

You can create record types to distinguish types of Knowledge articles and custom fields to store different types of information. Category 1 Biking is starting with a simple FAQ record type. Since you used the Knowledge Setup guide, the FAQ record type has been created for you by default. To view the new record type:

Enable Topics for Objects

There are many ways to organize content. With topics, you can classify and search Knowledge articles by assigning specific topic areas. Without enabling Salesforce Knowledge topics, articles can’t be displayed outside of your org.

Create Knowledge Articles

Now that you have your basic setup in place for knowledge, create a few sample articles for Category 1 Biking.

Enable Validation Status for Articles

Before you can do anything with validation statuses, the validation status field must be activated. Make sure this is ready to go!

Create a Validation Status

Notice there are two different validation statuses already in the system—Validated and Not Validated. Add a Work in Progress status for articles that are in the works, but not ready for validation.

Create and Publish an Article

So far, you’ve set up record types, page layouts, data categories, access and visibility settings, and validation statuses for Knowledge. Now that the foundation is in place, create and publish an article to test the process. Once you create your article, assign it to Ada for validation, and finally, publish it.

Validate and Publish the Article

To fully test the process, sign in as Ada, and validate and publish the article you just created.

Update the Article

Once an article is published, you can always improve or update the information as needed. To test this process, add a note to your recently published Knowledge article. This is accomplished by creating a new version of the article and adding the new text. Once it’s updated, re-publish the article.

Verify Step

You’ll be completing this project in your own hands-on org. Click Launch to get started, or click the name of your org to choose a different one.
