Role required: admin or knowledge_admin

このタスクについて

Each external source is associated with two handlers: the Acquire handler and the Process handler, for running the import job. The acquire handler uses a WebDAV client to acquire external content to create articles. You can customize the process handler to assign categories to articles or populate additional metadata for the knowledge articles.

手順

1. Navigate to All > Knowledge > Administration > External Knowledge Sources.
2. Select the external knowledge source from which you would like to import content.
3. In the Handlertab, set a schedule to run the acquire and process handlers.
4. In the Related Links section, click Run Scheduled Job.
5. To view all jobs scheduled to run to import content for the external source, click the Jobs.
   You can open the most recent job to monitor the status.

タスクの結果

For each file in the external content source, a blank knowledge article is created and the external file is added as an attachment to the article. The short description of the article is derived from the file name of the external content source.

注:

If the externally imported content is infected, a notification about each infected file is sent to the users with the knowledge_admin role and Knowledge Base owners. The notified users can then take required actions on the infected files.
