Product overview Curious about Pega s knowledge management application? This document summarizes what is provided with Pega Knowledge: its features and benefits, its knowledge self-service site and communities support, data model, and the various pre-configured roles and portal. Pega Knowledge is an enterprise knowledge management application that is part of Pega s Customer Relationship Management suite of products. It consists of a knowledge portal that provides the tools and capabilities to manage the full life cycle of rich, multimedia knowledge content and the creation and deployment of knowledge self-service and community sites. Pega Knowledge is pre-integrated with Pega Customer Service and related industry solutions, providing simple configuration capabilities to proactively suggest contextual articles with service cases. Pega Knowledge supports organizations that require a knowledge management tool for creating, maintaining, and publishing articles and support for self-service knowledge and community sites. Pega Knowledge helps you address three key tenets driving Customer Service excellence. Drive agent and customer productivity Intelligently guide service interactions and show relevant answers when agents need them. Enhance customer self-service experiences by presenting the information and answers they need to effectively resolve their own issues prior to engaging your more costly contact center resources. Improve answer quality and leverage contact center expertise Directly capture and route feedback to authors to evaluate and refine answers. Tap into traditional knowledge by allowing contact center resources to submit their own article candidates to the knowledge management team. Accelerate time to market Easily author and rapidly publish knowledge, while maintaining a high degree of quality through the application s staged authoring and approval workflow. Quickly configure and deploy knowledge self-service help and community sites for customers and internal employees. Pega Customer Service 7.31 Product Overview 1

High level functionality Knowledge authoring portal The authoring portal provides knowledge authors the tools and capabilities required to effectively manage the complete life cycle of content, from initial creation, handling user feedback/updates, defining taxonomy and security, and the archiving of content. Configuration tools are also provided to create, configure, and deploy both self-service knowledge sites (help sites) and community sites. Dashboard Provides key charts and actionable article usage information needed to effectively manage your knowledge base. Authoring, approval, and publishing content. Guided content creation process to intelligently move content through Authoring, Approvals, and Publication stages. Author, Approver, and Publisher roles allow more delineation of knowledge management resources, separating who can approve, and/or publish content. Alternatively, a knowledge management author can be assigned all three roles to immediately author, approve, and publish content. Approve, withdraw, or reject content Add notes when rejecting content so the editing author knows what changes need to be made. Create rich content using a Rich Text Editor (embed images, multimedia, source tagging, hyperlink external links). This editor is WYSIWYG. Multi-language content management Support linking of translated articles to a master language version, with an automated notification when any edits are made to the master article (e.g., requiring similar edits to the translated versions). Content templates Allow authors to create and utilize content templates to foster consistency when creating similar content, such as FAQ s, how-to s, or other articles that require pre-formatting for consistency across authors. Automated duplicate check for new article creation looks for articles with similar titles. Specify a URL as content (e.g., reference an external or internal web page). Preview content as an end user to ensure content is high quality and is visually appealing to the end user. Pega Customer Service 7.31 Product Overview 2

Specify content publication and expiration dates Automatically publish and/or archive content on specified dates. Internal only Allows content to be flagged as internal so only employees have visibility to this content. Specify content language Flag content with the language it was written in. Search and display will honor the end user s browser language (related content will be displayed under any available preferred language content). Specify content review dates Set a configurable review date for content, ensuring a continuous QA process. Authors are notified via email when an article is ready for its scheduled review. Link content to multiple categories Authors can link content to one or more taxonomy categories supporting flexible content categorization. Authors can print articles providing the same view as a customer service representative. Create articles with both internal and external sections. Authors can mark sentences, paragraphs, or entire sections as internal only. External users will not see these internally marked sections. Reference other articles within an article. Two display options are offered: reference articles within the body of the article and/or reference articles in the Related links and attachments area, outside of the article body. File attachments Attach files to content, allowing end users to view more detailed information and answers. End-user browser file type support required (e.g. Microsoft Office docs, PDF, standard image types, etc.). Tags, file attachments, and web links are all easily managed through a single gadget. Content import/export Supports exporting multi-language content for external translations and importing after the content has been completed. Also aids in importing external content from legacy knowledge management systems. Archive content Retire (archive) content that is no longer relevant. Archived content can be reopened and edited in the same manner as published content. Taxonomy editor Create or edit hierarchical content categories (1-to-multi-level categories). Optionally add category icons that can be displayed on knowledge help sites and communities.

Roles are defined by category level with child categories honoring inherited roles from parent levels. Pega Customer Service 7.31 Product Overview 3

Following Displays the articles that an author is currently following. Content search and display Suggested content Content can be contextually suggested in service cases using the configuration tools in Pega Customer Service. A configurable control makes it easy to add a search term to proactively display contextual content designed for a specific flow or process. Pega Customer Service 7.31 Product Overview 4

The knowledge display assets can be pulled into any Pega application to provide suggested content where agents need it (no wasting valuable time searching for the right content). Content search Quickly and easily search for the content you need by article name (or partial), tags, or other keywords. Fuzzy search compensates for misspelled words in the search string. Top-rated content Provides agents with access to the most popular content by ratings and views, fostering the benefits of knowledge across the enterprise.

User feedback and ratings The rating system allows users to rate content by selecting a simple thumbs-up or thumbs-down icon. Your knowledge team has direct access to related reports and charts to constantly monitor the overall health and perceived value of your knowledge base. Users also have the ability to send written feedback on content to authors to continuously improve content value and usage. Content suggestions are routed to a Knowledge Content Suggestions workbasket for review and action by a knowledge management author. Privileged Pega Customer Service users can quickly create draft content candidates, allowing the enterprise to harvest more tribal knowledge from their contact center experts. Pega Knowledge Help Sites Pega Knowledge provides built-in capabilities to easily configure and deploy knowledge self-service sites, supporting a mash-up with your existing self-service web pages. Help sites can be quickly configured, styled, and branded using the configuration tools in the authoring portal. The configuration tool automatically generates the HTML needed to quickly integrate the help site with your self-service pages. Both official curated knowledge (articles) and/or community functionality (discussions) can be delivered through this capability. Knowledge management authors can easily create knowledge management help sites that display relevant categories and content for customers. Pega Customer Service 7.31 Product Overview 5

Help Sites configurations Authors access the Help Sites configuration tool from the main Knowledge Management portal navigation panel. The configuration tool allows authors to create, configure, and brand knowledge management help sites to match their corporate standards. The configuration tool supports the ability to style key UI elements like article links, category labels, and upload a banner image without requiring access to the Designer Studio. Preview how the help site will look to end users. Highlight featured content, web sites, or even documents (file attachments) using the Featured content gadget. Tiles and classic Help Site layouts The included tiles and classic layouts provide professional-looking knowledge management self-service sites. Breadcrumbs allow intuitive end-user navigation to previous pages or home. Customers can also search for content leveraging the power of Fuzzy search capabilities. The Suggest Content gadget allows customers to submit new content topics that are automatically routed to a knowledge management author s workbasket for consideration. Knowledge Help Site deployment Embed knowledge help sites in existing web portals by using the auto-generated embed code and HTML snippet. Insert a simple HTML snippet into links, buttons, or images to redirect customers to your specified help site. The HTML snippet includes an article ID parameter that displays the article when the customer reaches the help site. Each help site created will generate a unique code to ensure redirects go to the intended site. The Link sites mapping tool accessed via the Configurations navigation option provides an easy way to map your help sites to the corresponding community sites (when configured and published). Pega Customer Service 7.31 Product Overview 6

Pega Communities Pega Communities (a component feature set of Pega Knowledge Management) allows your customers, partners, and employees to collaborate and to explore and discuss solutions to common questions and issues. Pega Community members can leverage not only the expertise of their fellow customers and contact center experts, but also have access to your Pega Knowledge articles alongside community discussions, further helping customers help themselves. The community capability comes pre-packaged with functionality that allows customers to follow and participate in conversations (or flag content they don t feel is suitable). Extensive moderator facing functionality enables community owners to properly enforce community standards of behavior. A moderator can edit, quarantine, or remove discussions and lock, ban, or email community members involved in an infringement. The Moderator also has workbasket functionality for posts and responses flagged by community members. Pega customers have the ability, if they so wish, to appoint external Moderators from their pool of super-users, who can perform the role without using Pega portals or seats. Community functionality extends from your community web pages back into the Pega Customer Service Interaction Portal. Customer service representatives can see the activity of active community members, when they reach into the Contact Center for assistance, and even respond to a community thread if needed and mark it as a best answer if appropriate. Best answers are routed as knowledge content candidates, allowing your organization to harvest the vast knowledge of the community and after editing and publishing, articles can be shared throughout the enterprise and of course on Pega Knowledge help sites. Communities key features Easy-to-use configuration tools to configure, brand, and publish community sites, promoting collaboration of customers, service reps, or other business partners. Authors can quickly name, style/brand, and specify discussion categories they wish to provide for the user community.

Auto-route best answers to Knowledge Management authors to promote as new knowledge articles.

Badges/awards capabilities for contributors. Earn different levels of awards/badges with configurable thresholds. Fuzzy search Fuzzy search capabilities improve relevant search results for misspelled search terms, a common search issue. Fuzzy search automatically compensates for misspelled words, returning likely search results for the corrected search term. The fuzzy query generates all possible matching terms that are within a configurable edit distance (fuzziness) and then checks the term dictionary to find out which of those generated terms actually exist in the index. Customers can browse other knowledge categories and articles or search for other answers. Degree of fuzziness is configurable. Search Engine Optimization Knowledge system administrators can enable search optimization for each help site and community. Enabling or disabling this feature is configured on the General tab of each individual help site or community to provide flexibility with which sites the business considers important for search engines like Google to spider and index. A site map is generated in XML format when enabled for each site. The resulting XML is not meant to be manually edited, and it is up to the customer to submit the sitemap XML to their preferred search vendors. When enabled, sitemaps are configured to be automatically updated on a nightly basis, setting each article with a priority level of.5. Pega Customer Service 7.31 Product Overview 9

Localization/language packs* Language packs support localization of applications through use of translated field values for buttons, prompts, and labels. Language packs are available for Pega Knowledge in Italian, French, Japanese, German, Spanish, and Portuguese. Pega also offers a Localization wizard capability to enable customers to localize Pegabased applications, including custom fields and screens quickly and easily, and in any language. Pega Customer Service 7.31 Product Overview 10

Pega Knowledge articles must be translated separately. The application s language management capabilities and export/import feature allow articles to be sent out for translation via.csv format and reimported into the application for final edits and publishing. Accessibility Pega Knowledge provides support to enable your applications to comply with requirements required by legislation like the Americans with Disabilities Act. This includes features such as keyboard navigation and the ability to support assistive technologies such as screenreaders.

For details, see Pega Platform Support Guide Version 7.3.1. Pega Customer Service 7.31 Product Overview 11

Data model Pega Knowledge provides common data objects that support the knowledge data model. The application was designed to be used as is, and it is not expected that customers will need to modify or extend the data model. However, extending the data model is supported, and may be necessary to support additional article attributes that are required if importing legacy content repository articles where these attributes need to be maintained in the Pega Knowledge application. The following table shows the key objects used in the Pega Knowledge application and their respective Data Pages. You can use the Data Explorer in the Pega Express to review all Pega Knowledge Data Types and Data Pages. Object type Featured content Skills Taxonomy Templates Description Featured content can be articles, web links, or file attachments that are made available to users who are visiting the help sites and/or community sites. The Admin for the site can add the featured content through the knowledge portal. A community user (operator) can be associated with skills. Each operator can be associated with more than one skill. A taxonomy allows you to classify or group similar content to better organize your knowledge base and support a more efficient search and display of content. Pega Knowledge supports a multi-level taxonomy category structure that offers flexibility in designing a classification configuration. Content templates provide pre-formatted styles used to create knowledge articles. Every template has a source that can be created by using RTE in the creation stage. The source is then converted into JSON while displaying it to authors in the content creation screen. Pega Customer Service 7.31 Product Overview 12

Logical Data Relationship Model (Pega Knowledge 7.31) Pega Customer Service 7.31 Product Overview 13

Roles The Pega Knowledge application was designed to accommodate typical quality assurance requirements of knowledge organizations, where multiple levels of content approvals may be required during the content creation process. The use of privileged-based operators supports the stage-based content creation process used in the application. This design allows separation of the authoring, approval, and publication roles. The table below describes the roles provided with the Pega Knowledge application. Roles KMAuthor KMApprover KMPublisher KMSysAdmin KMModerator CSKMSecurityAdmin Description This role can create draft content and submit to the Approval stage. This role can create draft content and approve draft content (Pending Approval) content for the Publication stage. This role can create draft content, approve draft content, publish pending-approval content, and edit taxonomy categories and related security. This role provides the same privileges as KMPublisher, but with Designer Studio access for more advanced configuration or customization needs. This role provides access to moderation tools and capabilities to help monitor and manage community member activity. This role is provided with the Pega Customer Service application and provides access (visibility) to both the Customer Service and Pega Knowledge applications. This allows the user to assign Customer Service-specific access roles to taxonomy categories in the Knowledge Management portal to restrict and control knowledge content access by category.
