Modifying Knowledge

Is it possible to modify the existing pages/tabs -- source code -- of the knowledge application?  I believe the changes that I would like to make will require development work and I wonder if what I am wanting to do will be possible and how to go about getting started. 

 

For example, I would like to include a checkbox under categories to modify the filter to return documents for the specific category selected, rather than returning all parent and child documents, which is the default behaviour.  I would like for users doing searches to be able to select/de-select based on their needs.

 

Is this possible with a simple tweak to the existing application?  Or is knowledge not modifiable in this way?

Hi Stephen,

In salesforce aaplications built on the platform are distributed or provided to users in 2 forms:-

  • Managed - if the application you are using is managed one you wont be able to change anything.
  • Unmanaged - if the application you are using is an unmanaged one, you can pretty much change anything in it

Also in case the page/ component you are trying to modify if its a native or standard salesforce component then modifying it is not possible.

 

 

Hope this helps....
