New knowledge attributes without technical knowledge

Custom attributes creation does not require any technical knowledge. In order to show a new property for knowledge base articles, just add a new field and enter details. Mark a custom field required to force users to enter values

High variety of field types

It is possible to add custom fields of the following types: single line text (char), simple text without formatting (text), rich text (HTML-formatted text), integer or float numbers, drop-down choice with your own options (selection), checkbox (boolean), date or date and time, binary (a file to upload), reference to another document (e.g. for a sales order, contact; many2one)

Simple interface placement

The tool lets you comfortably select an interface position (backend or website) of a custom field from a closed list of options

KMS typology

Distinguish knowledge articles by type in order to show properties only for suitable ones. Thus, the set of attributes for 'user guidelines' and 'technical specifications' might be different.
