Build a chart to help you identify trends in your data.

Add Rate by Product

Create a line chart, select the date range and break down the data by a pulldown, if desired.

The sample above shows the monthly rate of issues reported against various products.

Use a Saved Query as a Filter

You can select a saved query that will limit the data included in the chart. The Default Input Records option in the sample below shows we've selected a saved query that will only show tickets reported by Company A in the chart.

Setting up a Knowledge Base allows end users to get the information they need on their own at any time. Adding this feature to an existing Tracker system can be done a few different ways.

KB Search Page

Add a Form

A Knowledge Base can be added by creating a new form. If you want the KB data to be separate from existing data, you can also create a new project.

KB Form

The advantage of this method is that you can link KB articles to the record that inspired the content.

KB Link Field

For details, please review option 3 in this Knowledge Base article.

Create a New Database

You can set up a new database (workgroup) for your Knowledge Base. This option is the fastest to set up because the project, form and workflow are configured for you. However, the KB data will be completely separate from any existing data.

For more information, check out option 1 in this Knowledge Base article.

KB Add Page

Copy a Record and Publish it to the KB

Use the clone feature to copy a record, make some changes to the fields and publish the copy to the Knowledge Base. The KB article will have a link back to the original record. This option takes some effort to configure, but makes it easy to populate your Knowledge Base using data you already have.

Clone KB Article

Step by step instructions can be found in option 2 of this Knowledge Base article.

A View Record History privilege is available for showing the audit trail on the View and Edit pages.
