59
Q

Article

A

Articles capture information about your company’s products and services that you want to make available in your knowledge base.

60
Q

Article Manager

A

Salesforce uses the term article manager to represent a specific type of user. Article managers can access the Article Management tab to create, edit, assign, publish, archive, and delete articles. Article managers are sometimes referred to as knowledge managers. Article managers require the “Manage Articles” user permission. The Article Management tab is not visible to users without “Manage Articles.”

61
Q

Article Type

A

All articles in Salesforce Knowledge are assigned to an article type. An article’s type determines the type of content it contains, its appearance, and which users can access it. For example, a simple FAQ article type can have two custom fields, Question and Answer, where article managers enter data when creating or updating FAQ articles. A more complex article type can have dozens of fields organized into several sections. Using layouts and templates, administrators can structure the article type in the most effective way for its particular content. User access to article types is controlled by permissions. For each article type, an administrator can grant “Create,” “Read,” “Edit,” or “Delete” permissions to users. For example, the article manager can allow internal users to read, create, and edit FAQ article types, but let partner users only read FAQs.

62
Q

Article-Type Layout

A

An article-type layout enables administrators to create sections that organize the fields on an article, as well as choose which fields users can view and edit. One layout is available per article type. Administrators modify the layout from the article-type detail page.

63
Q

Article-Type Template

A

An article-type template specifies how the sections in the article-type layout are rendered. An article type can have a different template for each of its four channels. For example, if the Customer Portal channel on the FAQ article-type is assigned to the Tab template, the sections in the FAQ’s layout appear as tabs when customers view an FAQ article. For the Table of Contents template, the sections defined in the layout appear on a single page (with hyperlinks) when the article is viewed. Salesforce provides two standard article-type templates, Tab and Table of Contents. Custom templates can be created with Visualforce.

64

67
Q

68
Q

Audience Channel

A

An audience, sometimes called a channel, refers to the types of users who can access an article. Salesforce Knowledge offers four channels where you can make articles available.

Internal App: Salesforce users can access articles depending on their role visibility.
Customer: Customers can access articles in a community, site, or customer portal. Customer users inherit the role visibility of the manager on the account. In a community, the article is only available to users with Customer Community or Customer Community Plus licenses.
Partner: Partners can access articles in a community, site, or partner portal. Partner users inherit the role visibility of the manager on the account. In a community, the article is only available to users with Partner Community licenses.
Public Knowledge Base: Articles can be made available to anonymous users by creating a public knowledge base. With Lightning Knowledge, most Salesforce orgs use Communities to create a knowledge base. Creating a public knowledge base for Salesforce Knowledge in Salesforce Classic requires Sites and Visualforce.
