Configure the KB Tree View Web Part

Knowledge Base Overview

One of the first things you will notice when you create a Knowledge Base site is the home page looks quite empty. There are a couple of web parts already added to the page and one of them is the Tree View web part. You need to configure this web part to suit your environment.

From the KB Admin site, edit the Tree View web part.
