How do you assign new topics in Knowledge to a specific knowledge base

Cupcake

I have created separate knowledge bases and I want different topcis and categories for each knowledge base. I've created a few new topics but I don't see where I can make those topics specific to one knowledge base.

Any ideas?

I've tried configuring the form, I've trying configure ALL so I can see if there were UI Policies or anything else on where I make these changes. I didn't find anything.

FYI.  This article shows how this is done in all recent versions of ServiceNow.  No topics, all categories.

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/london-servicenow-platform/page/product/knowledge-management/task...

To get it to work with the older structure, I think you would just want to set up 'Topic' as a dependent field of your 'Knowledge base' field similar to how 'Subcategory' is dependent on the 'Category' field on an incident record.

Here is a video showing how you can set this up.

You're welcome.  Please mark my answer above as the correct answer if I've answered your question.  Thanks!

Hey Mark I figured it out. I can do it thru the list view once the article is created.

Thanks much - I was asking because I know we have certain Topics in another knowledge base that was created over a year ago and I couldn't remember how we defined them specific to that knowledge base.

Any other information that you have is most appreciative.

 

I am always game for new ways of doing things.

Thanks,
