A support center that's on top of their game needs the best helpdesk software to ensure pole position in the customer satisfaction game. It keeps your client-facing teams prepared for unexpected situations.
The knowledge base embedded in the helpdesk software is one of the most important resources for improving support and delivering a better customer experience.
The knowledge base helps to establish your authority as an expert on any topic or information related to products/services. It serves as an information management system that assists in the onboarding of new customers as well as helps in their decision-making process.
A consolidated knowledge hub within your helpdesk reduces the turnaround time (TAT) of your agents and boosts team efficiency. The customer satisfaction scores soar as your agents give accurate suggestions in the shortest time.
ThinkOwl’s Knowledge Base eliminates data digging and application hopping for agents and customers alike by serving as the authorized source of information. It also eliminates uncertainty over the authenticity of information, dispels rumors, and preserves goodwill.
Overall, Knowledge Base is a perfect tool to empower your customers with robust self-service systems and answers to frequently asked questions.
When you develop a knowledge base, you future-proof your team and give them the tools they need to engage successfully with customers.
There is no set rule for setting up a knowledge base. When you are setting it up for the first time, you may find yourself at a loss for where to start or which topics require prioritization. It’s good to have a strategy for creating, nurturing, and disseminating your knowledge articles.
You can start by addressing the most asked questions. You will find the information in your ticket history.
Another approach could be to give a new user a feel for the helpdesk software. Writing articles regarding service processes or product information for new users, including step-by-step instructions, can help agents as well as end customers in the long run.

Your ThinkOwl helpdesk comes pre-configured with a knowledge base. You can add, modify, and arrange content systematically. The versioning feature ensures the accuracy of your content. Every new article or data is saved as a draft by default in OwlDesk.
Every time you edit a published version and save it in drafts, a new version is created and the previous version of the resource is marked as expired. If you do not manually mark a published version as expired, then it will auto-expire on the date and time defined in the “validity” field.
If you want to work on more than one information resource, you can create multiple drafts and continue until they are published with Knowledge Base.
The knowledge base allows service desk administrators to view, modify, and add documents and links as attachments to cases. You can search, favorite, download, filter, and bookmark resources. If necessary, you can also share relevant information as message responses to customers and encourage self-sufficiency.
Selecting the right information from an available pool requires skill. Users can filter out resources based on parameters like - Last updated by Status, Created, Size, Access control, Language, Last updated, and Tags.
