Knowledge Library Index Dialog

Use this dialog to manage Knowledge Library entries within the Knowledge Library Index.

Commands

Command Description

Import Knowledge Library Entries

Select to import existing knowledge library documents not currently included in this Index into the Index. Before a knowledge library can be imported into the index, it must be copied into the same folder, or a subfolder of, the folder where the Knowledge Library Index itself is located.

Custom Properties

Select to add custom properties to the selected index entry. The KLI Custom Properties dialog will launch. Custom properties can be created to add further information about the Knowledge Library entries. They can also be used to sort the entries in a way that is meaningful to the end user.

Define Views

Select to access the dialog where new Views for this screen can be created and saved. A View is a definition of the information (fields) that display in the Knowledge Library Index pane. Once created, the Views appear in the Views drop-down list on the toolbar.

The KLI views dialog also gives users access to create Groups. A Group is a collection of Views. Views and Groups are useful not only for managing the display of knowledge libraries within the Knowledge Library Index, but they can also be employed in events in CaseView, such as the Insert Link from Knowledge Library index event, to limit the choices for the end user.

Manage Users

Select to open the administration screen where you can create new and delete existing users (teams). This dialog can also be used to relabel the Knowledge Library Index. Once selected, the Account Management Login dialog appears and you must enter the correct password to gain access to the Administration dialog.

Repackage

Select to repackage the Knowledge Library Index. During the repackage process the index and its associated files can be copied to a new location. The user can also employ filters on the entries in the index to include only those entries that might be required. This option could be useful, for example, if you created a knowledge library index that contained entries in multiple languages and you wished to repackage a new copy of the knowledge libraries that contained only English language knowledge Library entries.

Find

Select to open the Find dialog. With the find, the index entries can be searched for various user-defined criteria.

Knowledge Library Monitor

Click this button to open the Knowledge Library Monitor dialog which continually monitors library folders for updates.

View

Select a desired view from the drop-down list of existing views.

Copy View

Select to copy the current view of the Knowledge Library Index to the clipboard. Once copied you can paste this information into another program.
