From the Salesforce UI, searches can be started both manually and automatically once a case or ticket was opened. Search phrases are automatically extracted from the case and forwarded to USU Knowledge Management, which returns a list of search results.
Browse results
Within Salesforce, agents can browse through the search results. These might be static documents, multimedia content, active documents or decision trees. Agents can also use filters to narrow down the result-list. In case of active documents or decision trees, agents just need to follow the guided dialog to be navigated to the answer they were looking for.
Save results
With one click, the selected answer or solution can be saved in the case, either as a link to the original document or as a copy of it. This way agents can quickly document how the case/ticket was resolved. This action also triggers the Self-Learning algorithm of USU Knowledge Management which better serve subsequent search requests with similar intentions.
Benefits
Active documents organize text into structured modules under headings, allowing agents to quickly find and access the precise information they need by clicking on relevant sections.
Decision trees provide consistent, step-by-step troubleshooting based on knowledge base content, enabling agents and self-service users to resolve issues efficiently while automatically tracking progress and integrating with systems like Salesforce CRM.
The e-learning module leverages the USU Knowledge Management platform to create tests and quizzes for employee training, allowing trainers to identify knowledge gaps and provide targeted additional instruction.
Editors create knowledge test questions directly from the e-learning training material, avoiding duplication, with detailed evaluations highlighting early knowledge gaps to enhance service quality.
The Link Checker proactively verifies link validity in the Knowledge Center, automatically notifying editors and adding tasks for any faulty links detected.
