Limitations for the Resolution Categorization tab values

The following limitations govern the ability to add Resolution Categorization tab values to knowledge articles:

• You can add resolution categories only for knowledge articles that are in In Progress state, Draft state, or any of the Review states.

  Knowledge articles that belong to an External File System type of knowledge source appear in the Published state as soon as they are imported via the Registration Wizard. Therefore, you cannot add resolution categories to such articles.

• You cannot create watch list rules to monitor knowledge articles based on the field values on the Resolution Categorization tab
• You cannot pre-configure resolutions categories while registering Action Request System forms, and External File Systems as new knowledge sources.
• Resolution categories are not supported as a filtering option when you click More Filters on the BMC Helix ITSM: Knowledge Management Console.
• Resolution categories are not supported as search parameters in Advanced Search.
• If you open an incident in Search mode before creating a Resolved by relationship with a knowledge article, resolution categories are not immediately visible after being copied to the incident. You must reload the record in order to see the new values in the Categorization tab.

1. Open the knowledge article for which you want to create additional categories.
2. In the Navigation pane, click Functions > Additional Categories.
3. Select the value of the required category field, and click the Add XYZ button to save it. For example, to add an additional organization, select the name of the organization from the drop-down menu, and click Add Organization. The newly added organization will appear in the list next to the Organization field.
