Just wanted to add my voice to the other comments here since the migration from the old Knowledge Capture app. The automatic assignment to the article owner really messed up our article review workflow. Would really appreciate for this to be more configurable in the future.

We are on the Enterprise plan, so the flagged article tickets are being assigned to the article Owner first, before using our custom trigger that routes the article to the KB manager. Is there any way to disable the assignment first to the article owner? It's causing confusion because they are getting an email about a ticket assignment. In the old app, assigning to the owner was a configurable option.

Thanks for confirming this 1263082351589. I will look at our internal processes as well as raising a product feedback request.

1900356863164 there are currently no settings for deactivating article flagging in Knowledge. I would record this as a product feedback.

How do we disable the option to flag an article? We have a specific process to be followed, to request updates and do not want tickets created by an article being flagged. I can disable it in the KC app, but can't see an option to disable it in the knowledge panel. 

 

Thanks, 

Steven.

Here's an example of a product that allows end users without specific permissions to flag articles directly in the KB: https://help.bloomfire.com/posts/3521117-how-to-flag-and-review-a-contribution

Use case for us: only Support Agents can flag in the Support View (a small number of employees overall) versus the entire company being able to flag directly as end users. 

This creates a burden of having to track flagged articles from people emailing, Slacking, mentioning in meetings, etc. And then I have to have a separate tracking method for these flags.

Katarzyna Karpinska I know that for us, we would benefit from this feature as well. If you could flag from directly in the KB, it would cut down on steps. We use something along the lines of an "index" where you can hyperlink to headings in the article. This does not work in the KCapp so you need to open it in the KB. But since you can't flag there, you still have to manually look for it in the KCapp then flag it there. It would be helpful to have that option

Karen Pace, I'm interested to understand how would you use flagging the article directly in the knowledge base.  Could you help me with describing your case?

Any hope of the ability to flag articles or sections of articles directly in the knowledge base?
