Tips and Tricks

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

How to Search Knowledge Articles as a Fulfiller in ServiceNow

The way to search and attach knowledge articles on a ServiceNow ticket is changing. The KCS Results tab and Knowledge search icon will soon be replaced with a new Search Knowledge button. This button will allow you to search, attach and navigate through published knowledge articles.
