Understanding Knowledge Bases

Knowledge Base is implemented in the control panel TechSupport System. It helps TechSupport admins and TechSupport assistants to compose answers to customer questions and problems. Technically, the KnowledgeBase system checks the trouble ticket against the knowledge base to find the most relevant suggested replies that appear on the trouble ticket page.

KnowledgeBase option allows viewing records and searching suggestions. This option is available for user and reseller control panels under TechSupport and TechSupport Admin accounts.

A knowledge base itself can be created by the master admin. If you don't have a knowledge base available, contact your hosting provider.
