This topic contains information on settings and tasks that are common to both external and internal knowledge bases.

Common, read-only settings

  • Knowledge base type: This is either "External knowledge base" or "Internal knowledge base."
  • Knowledge base ID: A unique identifier for the knowledge base that’s generated by the system. In some scenarios, you might need to reference this ID. Here’s where you can find it.
  • Content provider: The name of the provider who sources the content. For an external knowledge base, this is the name of the CMS vendor, e.g., Salesforce, Zendesk, and so on. For an internal knowledge base, this is always "LivePerson."
  • Creator: The name of the person who added the knowledge base.
  • Language: The language of the content.

Common, configurable settings

  • Knowledge base name: Enter a new display name for the knowledge base if desired. Changing the name of the knowledge base doesn't require a corresponding update to a KnowledgeAI™ integration that uses the knowledge base; the integration is tied to the knowledge base's underlying primary key, not its name.
  • Intent association: If you've associated a domain with the knowledge base, this setting is read-only and says, "Domain Intents." However, if the knowledge base is an internal knowledge bases that uses Knowledge Base intents, this says, "Knowledge Base Intents," and it gives you the option to convert to Domain intents.
  • Associated domain: If the knowledge base's Intent association is "Domain Intents," this indicates the domain that's associated with the knowledge base.
  • Public: If you don't want other users in your Conversational Cloud account to be able to view and edit the knowledge base in the KnowledgeAI application, click the slider to Off. To facilitate the contributions of multiple persons to articles, the default value is On.
