Category: Product Update

Last updated on Nov 8, 2023

In the ever-evolving landscape of knowledge sharing and information management, contributors play a pivotal role in crafting and curating content. The dynamic world of knowledge bases demands a way to acknowledge these contributors and to measure the impact of the work. This is where the Knowledge Base Dashboard steps in as a powerful tool.

In this blog, we will embark on a journey through the dashboard’s intricate data, and discover insights into terms of performance. Let us explore the metrics that matter, shedding light on the articles that resonate most with readers and those that may need a little extra care. Join us in deciphering how the dashboard empowers contributors to fine-tune their content and, ultimately, boost the value of the entire knowledge base.

To gain a deeper understanding, we put ourselves in the shoes of our user roles provided by Document360 and visualized the same. Our analysis led to the classification of the data into two distinct categories: “My Contribution” and “Overview.” Now we can bifurcate these to get more information.

My Contribution – Achievements & Action!

As the heading quotes, this section delves into providing insights about the respective logged-in users’ contribution to the knowledge base. The dashboard clearly segregates the information and helps the user to showcase their respective contribution with the following numbers.

Created articles ⇒ Total number of new articles created by the Contributor, with a filter option to track contributions at any given time period.

Published articles ⇒ Total number of articles published where the Contributor is part of.

Draft articles ⇒ Total number of articles that are Draft status where the Contributor is part of.

Article Summary

Article performance metrics serve as a valuable feedback mechanism to Contributors by presenting the readers’ community’s engagement with their content. This data includes insights such as the total number of article reads, as well as likes and dislikes received. This information empowers contributors to enhance the quality of their content, driving them to continuously improve their contributions. It’s a system that promotes self-improvement and raises contributor standards.
