Take these items into consideration as you set up your topic assignment rules.

  • Topic assignments are site-specific. If you use the same article in two different sites, set up automatic assignments in both sites.
  • If a translation of a topic is available in Salesforce, the translated article is tagged with the corresponding translated topic. If there’s no translated topic in the system, localized articles are tagged with the base language topic.
  • You can’t automatically remove topics from articles. Instead, you must manually remove topics.
  • If you merge two topics, you must set up new rules.
  • If you automatically add a topic to a data category, the topic is added to all articles in the data categories above it in the hierarchy. Topics aren't automatically added down a hierarchy to child data categories.
  • To automatically assign topics to a newly added data category, remove all existing data categories and then publish the article. Next, add all data categories at once and republish the article.
  •  For automatic topic assignment to work when you add a data category to an article which already has certain data categories, the topic rule needs to be edited. You need to remove existing topics after noting down on the selected data category, save the rule. Re-add them all back and check the box "Add above topic(s) to all existing articles in the data category" and click Save again.
