Why can't I see any data in my knowledge reporting dashboard?

Sometimes latest data doesn't appear in knowledge reporting dashboards. To make the missing data available in your knowledge reporting dashboards, you need to schedule and run the following knowledge processes:

Schedule Process Name Description Impacted Dashboards Recommended Frequency
Knowledge Article View Aggregation Use this scheduled process to aggregate data on the number of articles that have been viewed. Knowledge Management Views Hourly
Knowledge Search Aggregation Use this scheduled process to aggregate data on the number of knowledge base searches that users have performed. Knowledge Question Analysis Hourly
Knowledge Workflow Aggregation

Use this scheduled process to aggregate data on the use of workflow, such as how long articles spend on each workflow step.

Schedule this job only if you're using knowledge workflow.

Article Workflow Dashboard Hourly
Refresh Service Categories for Reporting Use this scheduled process to make category names available in your knowledge reports.

If you create a report from the "Knowledge Management - Article Category Real Time" subject area or use one of the dashboards listed here and find that there are no results, then you need to run this scheduled process.
