Enable expert approval on a new or existing category

From the KM portal, a user with the Taxonomy Manager role can create new or update existing taxonomy categories in order to enable expert approval. Perform these steps:

  1. In the navigation pane of Pega Knowledge, click Taxonomy.
  2. In the upper right side, click Add category. If you are editing an existing category, click Actions > Edit category instead of Add category.
  3. In the Category name field, enter Articles requiring expert approval. If you are editing an existing category, this step is not mandatory.
  4. In the Description field, enter Taxonomy category for articles that contain sensitive information and require expert approval. If you are editing an existing category, this step is not mandatory.
  5. In the Category expert type list, select an option between User, Work queue or Team.
  6. Select the Expert User, Work queue or Team respectively, depending on what option you chose at step 5.
  7. Click Submit.
    add taxonomy category

You have now enabled expert approval for that Taxonomy category.
