Reviewing your knowledge team's performance using KCS reports


The Knowledge-Centered Service (KCS) framework promotes measuring and monitoring the effectiveness of the knowledge base and the performance of KCS team members. KCS Coaches are responsible for building and maintaining a high-quality knowledge base and mentoring their teams to improve performance. To enable them to do so, they can generate out-of-the-box KCS reports on the universal client.

In Smart IT, the Knowledge menu has options to launch KCS reports. These reports are generated in Smart Reporting. As a KCS coach, you can access KCS reports from the following locations:
