Genesys Cloud provides a knowledge base V2 feature that enables organizations to format question and answer articles for delivery across multiple touchpoints, requiring specific licensing (Genesys Cloud CX 1 Digital Add-on II or higher) and Language Understanding permissions for Knowledge Response Assets. The platform supports comprehensive content formatting capabilities including font style, size, and color modifications; background color customization; text emphasis adjustments; alignment changes; and bulleted or numbered lists. Articles support rich media integration, tables, and hyperlinks, with all formatting changes appearing consistently across configured touchpoints.
Technical constraints define operational parameters: questions and answers require a minimum of five characters; article content is limited to 190 KB maximum; knowledge bases support up to 15,000 articles; organizations can maintain up to 500 knowledge bases; and hyperlinks cannot contain ampersands. Articles must be created in the same language as their parent knowledge base.
The formatting interface is accessed through Menu > Knowledge > Knowledge Content > Articles, offering six heading levels and preformatted text styles with size options ranging from XX-Small to XX-Large. Color selection supports predefined options and custom RGB or Hex code entry through a Color Picker tool. Text formatting options include bold, italic, underline, and strikethrough styling, with alignment controls for left, center, and right positioning, plus indent adjustment. List creation supports bulleted lists with disc, circle, or square style options and numbered lists with standard, lower alpha, or lower Roman numbering formats.
Image management allows uploading in .jpg, .jpeg, .png, and .gif formats through three methods: selecting existing images, browsing locally saved files, or inserting from hyperlink URLs. Images can be resized through corner handles or the Edit Image dialog, which permits adjustment of alternative descriptions and dimensions. Uploaded images can be linked to URL destinations (https protocol only), email addresses, or internal articles, with options to display either the image or custom text as the clickable element.
Media integration supports Vimeo and YouTube content with adjustable width and height parameters and optional proportional constraint settings. Hyperlink functionality enables linking to external URLs (https protocol, opening in new tabs by default), email addresses, or articles within the same knowledge base, with customizable display text for all hyperlink types.
Table functionality supports configurable columns and rows with general operations including row and column insertion/deletion, cell merging and splitting, and property customization. Cell properties include width, height, type designation (header or regular), scope settings (row, column, row group, or column group), and alignment options (horizontal and vertical). Advanced border formatting allows configuration of border width, style, outline color, and background color. Row properties can be customized by selecting row type (header, body, or footer), alignment, and height with optional border styling. Column management features enable insertion, deletion, and cut/copy/paste operations with directional placement options. Table-level properties are accessible through the Table Properties dialog, enabling configuration of width, height, cell spacing, cell padding, border width, table captions, alignment, and advanced border settings. Row and column resizing can be accomplished through dragging or right-click property dialogs. Table resizing is achieved by dragging blue corner handles or accessing Table Properties through the right-click menu. Note that table functionality is unsupported in Messenger.
The knowledge workbench interface provides comprehensive management capabilities including editing variation names, adding or removing touchpoints, and modifying segments through an Edit Variation function, with the ability to delete variations when multiple exist. Articles can be saved in two modes: Save to continue working or Save & Close to exit the knowledge base. The platform includes a feedback mechanism enabling users to report issues such as inaccurate or incomplete content, outdated information, or unclear presentation, as well as provide positive feedback on helpful or well-organized content. Users can specify their role (Agent, Administrator, Developer/Engineer, Partner, Supervisor, Support, or Other) when submitting feedback. The interface provides access to related documentation including guides on knowledge base V2 questions and answers, article import/export functionality, category management, phrase configuration, and quick start resources.
