Self-Service Knowledge Search History

Description

The Self-Service Knowledge Search History report breaks down all Knowledge Management (KM) searches by two search types: ESS search and non-ESS search. This report contains a graphical representation of the search numbers using a pie chart. You can double-click any piece of the pie to display a detailed breakdown of that search type by user ID and search date, etc.

Customer Value

This report provides a comprehensive overview of the number of Knowledge Management searches. The process managers and the IT management team can use the information of the report to identify knowledge articles for ESS and non-ESS searches. This information can then be used by the KM Manager to determine if extra resources and additional trainings are needed by certain departments.
