Settings
Each answer has the following settings:
- Categories - this setting determines in which folders/categories (from your knowledge base) this answer will be visible. (The categories also allow you to influence which modules have access to which answer, which we will explain further down below.) If it makes sense, you could add the same question to multiple folders/categories.
- Date - you can decide if the answer will be displayed only for a certain period of time. A start and end date needs to be set.
- Visibility: The visibilities have no direct impact (except Draft) on the display of the answers, but allow the admin to "categorize" answers according to the desired visibility. The visibilities can then be selected in the individual modules and are one of the defining characteristics that the chatbot has access to. We recommend understanding the individual visibilities as follows:
- Public: The answer is visible to your customers.
- Internal: The answer is only visible in internal modules.
- Instruction: The answer is displayed only for internal employees as a work instruction.
- Draft: The answer is not visible in any module and must still be set to public.
Once they’re created, all answers are marked as draft. In order for them to be displayed, the visibility must be changed to “Public”!

You have the option to quickly and easily add additional language variants for your questions and answers.
Open the desired question through the left menu. Then use the translation function symbol.
Then, you will be shown the available languages (which you can define through the language selection menu on the left side).
Please select the language into which you want to translate the question/answer combination.
