Knowledge Management
The ASM Core Knowledge Bank is the repository for all the knowledge that is collected in the system.
Knowledge refers to useful and relevant units of information that have been accumulated through learning and experience. The ASM Core Knowledge Bank supports knowledge management by enabling Analysts to:
organize knowledge into types and sub-types
create knowledge entries, which can then be viewed by others
import Calls into the Knowledge Bank, so that they can be used as examples of workarounds and solutions
search the Knowledge Bank, within the limitations of their security roles. Knowledge entries can also be made available to Users, both on the main application and via the Self Service Portal
Knowledge entries are created and their content can be moderated for accuracy before they are published. They can be restricted to the main application, or made available to the Self Service Portal.
Access to knowledge articles and permissions to manage them and configure the knowledge bank are controlled via security roles and knowledge profiles.
Initially, the knowledge bank is configured using the following options:
Knowledge Bank Settings
to enable the Knowledge Bank for your system, configure the format for knowledge entries, define review settings for knowledge entries and define setting for knowledge entries cloned from calls
Knowledge Base Types
to rename base types used to define the nature of the knowledge entry in ASM Core
Knowledge Entry Types
to define your own 2nd-tier knowledge entry types in ASM Core
Knowledge Profiles
to create and update knowledge profiles. Knowledge profiles control content access for the SSP. To limit access to specific KB entries on the SSP, you would grant access to the profile on the SSP Security role.
Knowledge Ratings
to define and create knowledge entry ratings and scores
Knowledge Statuses
to define statuses that can be associated with knowledge entries, such as Draft, Published, or Reviewed
Once the knowledge bank has been configured, Analysts can then manage the entries in any of the following ways, depending on their security role permissions:
Create a knowledge entry
Moderate the entry to ensure it is accurate before it is published
Update the details
Review the knowledge entry
Delete the knowledge entry
Users and Analysts can then:
Search for knowledge entries
View the knowledge entry
Give feedback on knowledge entries
