Developing knowledge articles


Knowledge articles contain reference information that agents can use to work on their cases. In BMC Helix Business Workflows, you can use knowledge articles to resolve an existing issue, maintain the information about different policies of your organization, and so on. 

By developing knowledge articles, you are able to do the following tasks:

  • Help to transfer knowledge to different individuals in the organization.
  • Enable self-service users to resolve issues on their own. This reduces the number of issues that users raise.
  • Reduce the time you invest to resolve issues and ensure that you work on each issue only once.
