Schema Attribute Options
Schema attribute options specify information to include in the record title, how the Knowledge Advanced search facility searches content fields, and whether fields are required.
The following table describes the attribute options.
| Attribute Option | Description |
|---|---|
Include in master record identifier |
Select this check box to specify whether the value of the attribute will be used as an element of the title of a record within Knowledge Advanced. Only attributes of type List and Text Field can be master identifiers. You must specify at least one master identifier for each Content Type definition. The master identifier is the attribute that Knowledge Advanced uses as the title of the record for internal reference. |
Enable full text searching |
Select this check box to specify whether the contents of the attribute will be searchable by full text. Full-text search matches your search query against the contents of any article attributes that are available for searching. |
Enable attribute level searching |
Select this check box to specify whether the contents of the attribute are searchable by attribute. Attribute-based search restricts matching to only the specified attribute. |
Attribute requires workflow approval if workflow is enabled |
Select this check box to specify whether editing the value of this attribute is subject to workflow permissions and version incrementing when a workflow is assigned to this Content Type. |
Make attribute a required field |
Select this check box to specify that the attribute is required for all articles in the Content Type. |
Restrict attribute to selected user groups |
Select this check box to specify to display this attribute only to members of selected user groups. See Specify User Group Restrictions for a Content Type Schema Attribute for more information. |
Search Options for Content Type Attributes
You can specify that an attribute be available for:
Full text searching
Attribute-level searching
Knowledge Advanced includes an internal search facility that you can use to search for content in the current repository by using the Find option.
Attribute level searching provides enhanced full text searching within specific attributes, for example, finding all people where First Name = Mary.
