Genesys Knowledge Center Quick Start Guide

Welcome to the Genesys Knowledge Center Quick Start Guide. This guide will help you get Genesys Knowledge Center up and running quickly by installing and working with the sample knowledge base.

Overview

The fastest way to get started with Knowledge Center is to create a sample knowledge base and try it out. After you install Knowledge Center Server, you can find the sample knowledge base in the <Knowledge Center Server Installation Folder>\server\tools\indexer folder. At that point, you can create a new knowledge base in Genesys Administrator or Knowledge Center CMS and import documents into it using the tool shipped with the Knowledge Center Server. After these steps, you are ready to work with the basic features of Knowledge Center .

For a more in-depth overview of Knowledge Center, you can read the Knowledge Center Components topic in the Deployment Guide.

Setting up your Knowledge Center

Start

  1. Review the prerequisites and make sure your Genesys environment meets the requirements.
