Article summary

Classification for better Identification!

Classification in knowledge management refers to classifying the knowledge articles under predefined labels. Classifying knowledge articles facilitates the identification and retrieval of relevant information for faster resolution.

Classification of knowledge articles also bridges the gap between training and documentation. 

User Persona: Administrator


Let's explore the following use case.

Use Case
User Persona: Administrator
Solution
NovaTech has created a knowledge base, but the articles are not structured. Due to the unorganized knowledge base, analysts and administrators cannot use the information in the articles. AdministratorSam can configure the Classification in Knowledge Management to tackle the issue. Classifying the articles under one category helps analysts and administrators to effectively search and use the knowledge articles. For example, all articles related to laptop issues can be classified under Laptop Hardware and software.
