The knowledge base

For Managers

The knowledge base

Uploading a document, reviewing what the system proposes for it, and approving it into the corpus the desk assistant answers from.

This page is a placeholder. Its structure is fixed; the writing lands in a later phase.

The knowledge base is the only source the desk assistant answers from. Nothing enters it until you approve it.

Do it

  1. Open Knowledge base under Manage .

  2. Upload the file into Upload documents . Markdown, plain text, or PDF.

  3. Open the row in Intake queue and read the proposal against the document.

  4. Correct the house scope, sensitivity, and validity dates.

  5. Select Approve and index , or Reject .

What you’ll see

An approved document is answerable at once and cited as a source.

Rules that apply

  • Sensitivity and house scope decide who gets the answer. Someone outside the scope gets no hint the item exists, so an over-broad scope is a disclosure. Roles and the duty hierarchy
  • Date-bound rules need their dates. Retrieval is as of the date asked about, so an undated rule never expires. Asking the desk assistant
  • Incidents enter only as a de-identified lesson. Disciplinary and private ones produce none, because raw text never enters the index.

If it goes wrong

A “Managers only” notice. You hold SM or SW only; ask an HM, BA, or RSM.

The row reads failed. The row carries the reason. Fix the file and upload again.

A live document is wrong. Use Delete document ; retrieval stops at once. Reject only ends a proposal that never went live.
