Skill Suggestions

If your organization enables Skill Suggestions, skills are inferred from the Title and Description fields, when adding an article or video. Skills are only suggested if the Title and Description fields are derived from meta data included in the article or video. Adding your own text to these fields or uploading a hosted file does not trigger the process to check for a match.

The suggested skills displays under the Skills field on the Add Content Details modals.

If Skill Suggestions is disabled, or the content type is not supported, no skills display here.
