About Adding Attachments That Can Be Searched in the Knowledge Base

You can attach documents to Knowledge Base articles.  When users search the Knowledge Base, the system also searches all attachments. Service Manager supports the txt, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, and pdf file formats. You can add attachments in other formats but the system does not search them.

You can only attach one searchable document to a Knowledge Base article at a time. If you attempt to upload another document, the system overwrites the original document with the new document.
