Your knowledge base content is key to getting your customers answers to your most common support requests when they need it so that your agents can focus their efforts on the inquiries that require their problem-solving skills and expertise.  The Knowledge Base report helps you understand what your customers are searching for, which articles are returned, how article views trend over time, and how successful your content is at solving your customers’ inquiries through article ratings.
