Managing taxonomy categories

1. In the navigation pane of the Pega Knowledge portal, click Taxonomy.
2. Configure expert approval:
   • To indicate that you want expert approval for articles that are associated with this category, select the Enable expert approval checkbox.
   • To remove expert approval for articles that are associated with this category, clear the Enable expert approval checkbox.
   Note: If you select the Enable expert approval checkbox, publishers and approvers cannot edit articles during the publishing or approval stages. However, you can allow publishers and approvers to edit the publishing settings for an article by selecting the Update publishing settings checkbox.

3. Click Add new category.
4. In the Category name field, enter the name of the new category. 
5. Optional: To create the new category under a parent or top-level category, click Change, and then select a parent category.
   Note: If you do not select a parent category, the system creates the new category as a parent category.

6. Select the appropriate Authorized role from the list, and then click Add to add security content visibility setting to a category.
   Note: You can apply multiple roles to a category.

8. Select the Is approver external checkbox , and then in the External approver email field, add the external email address to add an external approver.
   Note: If you choose an external approver as the knowledge expert, you must configure the service level agreement (SLA). By using SLAs, you can standardize how external approvers can either approve or reject the articles. An external approver email address receives an email notification with the article link for review. This article link is accesibile for one time only.
