## CSM Knowledge Management dashboard indicators {#knowledge-management-dashboard__section_cd4_ln4_q2b}

The CSM Knowledge Management dashboard provides three views, into content usage, content
governance, and content quality.  
The Knowledge Management dashboard presents the following key performance indicators:

% of Knowledge Articles Published
:   A daily calculation using the formula `[[Number of knowledge articles
    published]] / [[Number of knowledge articles
    active]]`

Monthly Average Article Rating
:   A monthly calculation of the sum of all article ratings for the month divided by the
    number of knowledge articles rated for the
    month.

Average select Rank
:   A monthly calculation using the formula `[[Sum of knowledge search ranks]] /
    Number of knowledge searches with
    rank]]`

Select Through Rate
:   A monthly calculation using the formula `Number of knowledge searches with
    rank]] / [[Number of knowledge
    searches]]`

Average Time to Publish
:   The average time to publish is recalculated daily, as a number of days. The goal of
    the indicator is for scores to minimize.

Number of Active Users Who Performed Searches- Monthly
:   The number of authenticated users who performed at least one search of the knowledge
    base in the preceding month. The goal is for the number to maximize.

Number of Active Users Who Viewed Articles- Monthly
:   The number of authenticated users who viewed at least one knowledge article in the
    preceding month. The goal is for the number to maximize.

Number of Knowledge Searches with Rank- Monthly
:   The number of knowledge searches in a month where the Highest select Rank has a value higher than zero. The goal is for the number to maximize.

Number of Knowledge Searches- Monthly
