FAQ Settings:
- Title: Leaving this field blank will result in the whole question and answer not being displayed.
- Content: This should be either part or the whole answer. Ideally displaying part of the answer will promote users to click on the button taking the user to the link, and ensuring you're tracking views on that article. The maximum amount of characters (including HTML) is 999.
- Button Title: This is the title of the button. Leaving this blank will result in the button not being displayed. Some examples of how you might use this are:
- For an article, you might change this to 'See Article'
- For a link to a login portal, you might use 'Login Here'.
- Button URL: Enter the link for the button. You can use one of the following types of URL formats for this:
- To reference an external site link: Enter a full URL that begins with 'https//...'
- To reference a link that is within the current help center: You can enter '/hc/en-au/articles/123456789'
