Knowledge base - a single repository of all knowledge, documents, regulations, and recommendations in the company, where employees can find all the information for work. Knowledge bases will be especially useful for companies with remote employees, as well as for fast-developing companies. PeopleForce provides a Knowledge base section for more convenient information storage, thanks to which every company employee quickly gets all answers in one place and doesn't waste time searching for them.
Enable knowledge base across the company
If you don't see the Knowledge Base section in the side menu, the first thing to do is to enable it in the General settings.
Add a category
To create a category in the Knowledge base, follow these steps:
1. Go to the Knowledge Base page.
2. Click on "Add category" located in the upper right corner or at the center of the screen.
3. When creating the category, provide a name and fill in the description to define its purpose.
4. Optionally, select an icon and choose a color for the category's display on the Knowledge Base page.
⚠️ It's important to note that without categories, adding articles to the Knowledge Base is not possible.
5. Additionally, you can assign specific groups of employees or individuals by adding conditions from the following list:
- Type of employment
- Position
- Department
- Division
- Location
When selecting multiple conditions, consider the final number of employees. For example, if you choose 2 conditions:
1. Position: Accountant
2. Type of Employment: Full-time
Applying the "and" filter will exclusively select all full-time accountants. However, selecting the "or" filter will include all accountants as well as all employees with full-time employment status.
