KB User's Guide - Topics Tab - Create Topic Footers
This document describes how to set up topic-dependent footers on the Topics tab.
Background:
In addition to the footer functionality available in the KB's document editor (see KB User's Guide - Documents Tab - Define and Apply Document Headers and Footers for details) it is possible to set up topic-dependent footers that only appear on documents assigned to a particular topic. Unlike footers created in the document editor, topic-dependent footers appear at the very bottom of the document, underneath the Feedback section. Users with publish rights can use the instructions below to define and style these footers.
NOTE: Currently topic-dependent footers are only available for Level 5 Topics. If your KB site's topic structure does not extend to level 5, you will not be able to use this feature.
Directions:
-
Begin by logging into the KB Admin Tools.
-
Click on the Topics tab.
-
Click on the 'Level 5 Topics' link.
-
To add a description to an existing footer, fill out the field labeled Topic Description/ footer (up to 3000 chars appearing in docs associated with this topic) and click on the Update button.
-
If you do not have an existing level 5 footer, you can fill out both the Level 5 Topic Name and Level 5 Topic Description / footer fields and click on the Add a new level 5 topic button.
-
Footers you have specified for the Level 5 Topic will appear. If a document is assigned more than one level 5 topic, all footers will appear in the order established in the Order column on the Level 5 Topics screen.
