Who it's for

Managed support teams

A managed support team needs a way to pass a resolved question from one shift to the next. An incident captures the individual case, its assignee and dated updates. An owned article carries the answer that another agent can use later. The reviewer checks that the article explains the service conditions rather than repeating a case-specific shortcut.

How Knowledge Base Builder is set up for you

Shift handoff

Use incident updates to record what the agent observed and when. Another agent can understand the case before drawing a general lesson.

Owned guidance

Assign each article to a person responsible for checking it when the underlying service changes.

Publication decision

Move a complete draft into Review and have a person check the title, category and body before marking it Published.

Request patterns

Review submitted service requests to find instructions that requesters repeatedly misunderstand.

A managed support team needs a way to pass a resolved question from one shift to the next. An incident captures the individual case, its assignee and dated updates. An owned article carries the answer that another agent can use later. The reviewer checks that the article explains the service conditions rather than repeating a case-specific shortcut.

Choose one service with recurring incidents or requests. Import its service and owner, then bring in representative case records with their dates and assignees. Have the Knowledge Editor draft an answer to the most common question. The Article Reviewer should test it against a case they did not handle. If the answer skips a condition, return it to Draft and make the correction before publication.

Once the team uses the answer, collect helpfulness responses and comments. Review a comment with the linked article and a recent case. If the procedure has changed, the service owner verifies the new facts while the article owner rewrites the instructions. Keep the old case records intact so the team can still explain what happened on each shift.
