OAuth2.0

Securely logging in from a third-party service using a user’s existing account

Securely logging in from a third-party service using a user’s existing account

SSO – SCIM

User management based on Active Directory

User management based on Active Directory and Single Sign On. LDAP, OpenID Connect and SAML are all supported. Both authentication (username and password) and authorisation (what tasks a user can perform and what content they can see) is supported.

Multilingual

Manage content in multiple languages

Content can be uploaded in multiple languages, with the system automatically recognising the language and using the correct stemmer for accurate searching. Language variants can be linked so that users read content in their preferred language.

Create expert templates

Configurable forms for input of expert question (new knowledge request) detail

Make sure that you capture all details of a new knowledge request by configuring forms to present to users when they ‘Ask the Expert’. This ensures that the subject matter expert can resolve the request at first asking, rather than having to go back to the user to clarify what is required, saving time and ensuring accurate content creation.

User definable menu options

Custom portlets can be added to the menu for all or some users

Custom portlets can be added to the menu for all or some users, so users can navigate from the windows on the homepage or from the menu. Standard menu options can be renamed, removed or repositioned for the optimum user experience.

Customise Colours

Colours and Logos can be changed for each layout

Colours and Logos can be changed for each layout, making the knowledge base your own and seamlessly integrating the knowledge base tool with your other web applications. 

Portlets

Show portlets within a secure layout with user definable filters

Show portlets within a secure layout with user definable filters. These provide ultimate flexibility in how your knowledge is presented and accessed. Simply select the ‘Create Portlet’ option from the menu and define your parameters for what should be displayed in a window then share this with the relevant users.

Configurable Layouts

Different pages for different teams can be set up using drag and drop

Different pages for different teams can be set up using drag and drop. Personalising the knowledge base experience is key to user adoption, ensure your different teams see exactly what matters to them, as soon as they log in.

Section Classifications

Different sections of a template can be viewed by users of a different level

Different sections of a template can be viewed by users of a different level. 6 classification levels can be used to ensure all levels of access can be mirrored in the knowledge base. Whether needing to ensure internal information is not made visible to a customer or management level information is not shared with employees, classification levels ensure sensitive and confidential information is secure.

Custom fields

Can add additional values with validation of entries and mandatory inputs

Can add additional values with validation of entries and mandatory inputs. Custom fields can be defined on templates so these are automatically flagged for entry when creating content and adhoc custom fields can also be created. These create searchable entries in the knowledge base to ensure all knowledge can be easily retrieved.

Omnichannel content

In an article, define omnichannel content with a different tone-of-voice for each channel (e.g. voice, e-mail, chat)

In an article, define omnichannel content with a different tone-of-voice for each channel (e.g. voice, e-mail, chat). Template sections are used to create channel specific content so only a single article is managed in the knowledge base.

Knowledge Item dashboard

Revision History, discussions and reworks available in a single view of the knowledge item

Revision History, discussions and reworks available in a single view of the knowledge item. Authors and subject matter experts are given a clear overview of the lifecycle, any outstanding tasks, such as rework requests and status of content in the knowledge base. The dashboard also allows authors to revalidate content, change the topic the content resides in and reinstate a previous revision of a knowledge item.

Decision trees

Guide a user to the right answer by asking questions in a predefined decision tree

Guide a user to the right answer by asking questions in a predefined decision tree. A simple to use editor is provided to build your step by step process or diagnostics flow which ensures users never miss a step and processes are adhered to. 

Content Workflows

Control the content creation process with bespoke workflows for reviews and approvals

Control the content creation process with bespoke workflows for reviews and approvals. Whether you wish for the author to immediately publish their own content or a multi stage peer review followed by an approval process is required, the workflow can be configured to match your business processes. 

Content Creation using templates

Templates are used to predefine the styling and structure of content

Templates are used to predefine the styling and structure of content. Different sections can be defined, with their own styling, layout and even classification level, ensuring users only see the section of a document which matches their privilege level. Templates make both the authoring and the end user consumption of information as simple as possible.

Index Content from Cloud Repositories

Leave content in situ in SharePoint, Google Docs, Dropbox and websites and index at source.

Leave content in situ in SharePoint, Google Docs, Dropbox and websites and index at source. Simply type in the URL(s) where the content can be found and our knowledge base will create searchable records, seamlessly available alongside internally managed content. Ensure a single unified platform is available to your users without the need to search multiple repositories.

Inbuilt Reporting Dashboards

At a glance knowledge base usage broken down by day, week, month.

At a glance knowledge base usage broken down by day, week, month. Understand your knowledge base metrics in an easy to understand format and keep your knowledge base on track.

Performance insights

Get an overview of user activity

Get an overview of user activity – understanding the user activity levels helps increase user adoption and understand and reward contributions.

Configurable Reporting

Inbuilt Report Writing tool for user, topic and document usage reporting

Inbuilt Report Writing tool for user, topic and document usage reporting. Our simple report editor allows for the quick building of reports, with options for how this data is presented. In addition, users can select filters and parameters to report against at runtime.

User groups

Apply different roles for knowledge administrators. Assign user groups to different secure portals.

Apply different roles for knowledge administrators. Assign user groups to different secure portals and content. Our granular approach to security ensures users only see what information they have been granted permission to see and can also be pushed information specific to their role through user group based layouts.

Item Filter

Advanced filtering of content

Advanced filtering of content – using auto created parameters, such as created/modified dates, topics and document types, in conjunction with custom filters such as classification categories.

Categories

Can create a hierarchy of categories to apply to content in addition to the taxonomy structure allowing flexible filtering and categorisation

Can create a grouping of categories to apply to content in addition to the taxonomy structure allowing flexible filtering and categorisation. This user definable list means content can be classified according to your required categories, to supplement the top down approach of the taxonomy. 

Article types

Create different types of articles, for instance FAQ, work instructions, procedures.

Create different types of articles, for instance FAQ, work instructions, procedures. This user definable dropdown list ensures documents are tagged as required and then filtered to optimise the search.

Topics

Allow topics to be associated to multiple taxonomies

Allow topics to be associated to multiple taxonomies. This ensures knowledge is not duplicated and the same information is made available across multiple domains.

Taxonomy Nodes

Categorise knowledge to specific topics and assign rights and roles to user teams

Categorise knowledge to specific topics and assign rights and roles to user teams. Simply drag and drop new nodes, topics and teams into position on a configurable tree structure and apply the necessary permissions.

Smart search

Advanced search with fragments taking users to the best matching sections of a document

Advanced search with fragments taking users to the best matching sections of a document. Our indexing feature understands the location of words within a document so when a question is asked of the knowledge base, not only are the documents ranked by suitability but the best matching sections of the document are automatically generated, ranked and presented to the user.

Voice activated Search

Can ask the knowledge base a question through voice for accessibility

Can ask the knowledge base a question through voice for accessibility. Simply ensure the microphone on your device is switched on and then say ‘Knowledge Search’ and your question and the system will return relevant search results.

Search results filter

Within a secure portal, search results can be filtered and narrowed by document type, date range, taxonomy, category and exact word matching.

Search preferences of the user are satisfied through the ability to both ask a question using keywords or a natural language question, or by selecting filters and parameters to provide more filtered search results. Search results can be filtered and narrowed by document type, date range, taxonomy, category and exact word matching.

Download files

Can download articles in pdf format and uploaded files in their original format

Can download articles in pdf format and uploaded files in their original format – whilst best practice dictates that users should always go to the knowledge base to get the most up to date information, there may still be a requirement to share knowledge outside of the knowledge base. KPSOL makes this easy by providing the ability to download content from the document toolbar.

Discussion Forums

Can discuss topics or content with other users

Knowledge comes in many forms – structured documents, formal work instructions, user guides to name a few. Tacit knowledge is more informal and can often take the form of a discussion. By providing the ability to store and monitor this discussion in the knowledge base, no knowledge is lost – even turning discussions into formal content.

Likes

Users can like content for dynamic display

Users can like content to help other users recognise the most used and recommended content.

Favourites

A secure portal user can create personal article favourites

A knowledge base user can create personal article favourites. Providing users with the ability to bookmark documents they frequently access ensures they have immediate access to their most relevant documents

Ask the Expert

Users can request new knowledge with workflow

Knowledge gaps are quickly filled by providing users with the ability to request missing knowledge.  Subject matter experts can view the requests and can action these in a number of ways – by discussing the matter further through our online messaging system, linking the request to an existing article or creating new information to satisfy the request.

Rework Requests

Users can request a change to content with workflow

Ensure your knowledge base is kept up to date by empowering your users to flag any changes that may be required to content. This means that every time a user is searching, they are also reviewing the content, which adheres to knowledge management best practice. The request alerts the relevant subject matter experts who can reject or action the request, with full audit trail.

Compare Revisions

Users can see differences between content revisions

Users can see differences between content revisions. Every time a new revision is edited within the knowledge base and then published, users can not only see that the document has been updated but what the actual changes are, ensuring users don’t miss any important updates.
