Adding an SDL Knowledge Center Mount

About this task

When you set up a mount in WorldServer, you are making a connection to an existing SDL Knowledge Center configuration. You need to match the configuration and status values in SDL Knowledge Center for your WorldServer workflow to operate correctly.

Before you create the WorldServer mount, go to your SDL Knowledge Center Status Transition Management page. Identify the following information, which will be needed for your WorldServer mount configuration.
  • SDL Knowledge Center user roles
  • SDL Knowledge Center status names
The following example shows the user roles and status names for one SDL Knowledge Center configuration.

  2. On the Management > Asset Interface System > AIS Mounts page, click Add.
    WorldServer displays the Mount: New page.
