Add Repository Views

Field Description

Repository View Name

Enter a unique name for the view.

Reference Key

Reference Keys are arbitrary text strings used as internal identifiers for the various objects in the system. They are locale independent; a single key identifies an object in multiple locales.

Accept the default value supplied by Knowledge Advanced. You can also specify a string to use as an internal identifier.

Important: Knowledge Advance assigns unique reference keys by default. If you override the default reference key for an object, the reference key you enter must be unique.

Select Categories

Select the categories to associate with this view. You can use the Select Mode drop-down menu to locate categories by browsing in Navigation mode, or by searching.

At Available Categories, select one or more content categories or sub-categories to add to your Selected Categories. Categories that contain sub-categories display as links preceded by a plus sign (+).

Select Products

At the Select Mode drop-down menu:

Select Navigate to display product and product hierarchies for navigation

Select Search to display products for search. When you select Search, you must also enter the search string.
