Setting the default author email address


As an administrator, you can define the default author email address to be used in articles migrated from your BMC application to BMC Helix Knowledge Management by ComAround. 

Best practice
We recommend that you always set the default author email address when you migrate knowledge articles to BMC Helix Knowledge Management by ComAround because some articles in your BMC application might not include the email address of an article author. If some knowledge articles do not have the author email address defined in your BMC application, and you do not set the default email to be used in BMC Helix Knowledge Management by ComAround, you get a warning during the synchronization process, and the author email address is set to unknown@bmc.com.
