Taxonomy

By using a taxonomy, you can classify or group similar content, which helps you organize your knowledge base and supports a more efficient search and display of content. With Pega Knowledge you can create or edit content categories, or you can add category icons that can be displayed on knowledge help sites. The application also supports the linking of multiple taxonomy categories to content.

Note: Starting with release 26.1.1 Pega Knowledge on Constellation supports hierarchical taxonomy categories.

Taxonomy creation and management

When the existing categories are unsuitable for new content, you can add a new category. You can view sample categories in the taxonomy, for example Customer Service or Retail Banking. Before you create a new taxonomy category, consider the most logical structure that aligns with your business needs and organizational hierarchy.

You can also edit the details of a particular category to change the category name, description or authorized roles. You can delete completely unwanted categories from the taxonomy. A Taxonomy Manager role is required to create a new taxonomy category, or edit and delete existing ones.

Category approval

You can use the normal approval process or specify that a Category Knowledge Expert approves the category, and all its child categories if applicable.

If you choose an external approver as the knowledge expert, you must configure the service level agreement (SLA). By using SLAs, you can standardize how external approvers can either approve or reject the articles. An external approver email address receives an email notification with the article link for review. This article link is accessible for one time only.
