Main Dashboard customization

Problem observed: GURU Home page.Intended action: Trying to add an image/video after I mistakenly deleted the Add image ( + ) option.Problem explained: I am trying to add an image into a Content block, but enable to do so. As I was trying to add an image into the content block, I mistakenly deleted the add image/video ( + ) option, now there is no going back. All I have to do is delete the content blocks, add new ones and then redo the steps. If there is an easy way to Undo or Add image option would save me tons of time! If there is a solution to this kindly let me know, if not, @Guru Product Team this section needs some work. I propose my suggestions. Thnx! 😁Attaching a screenshot.Suggestion:An undo action OR Add image/video option after the user deletes it.

Inquiry About Using Guru for a Small Team with M365 Integration

Hi Guru Community, My team consists of 6 members, and we work in a company that primarily uses M365 for collaboration. We rely on Teams for chat and video meetings, Outlook for emails, and SharePoint for managing shared documents. We’re looking for a solution to help us with the following: 1. Team Collaboration: We want an easy way for team members to share their work updates and discuss shared challenges or tasks. 2. Team Management: The team lead needs a clear overview of each team member's ongoing tasks and progress. However, some personal chats in Teams should be excluded from this process. 3. Meeting Summaries: We are also curious if Guru offers any AI-powered features for summarizing Teams video meetings or supports integration with other solutions that can handle this task. Given these needs, would Guru be a suitable solution for us? If not, are there integrations or additional tools you recommend using alongside Guru to meet these requirements? Thank you for your insights!

Knowledge Triggers while on a call in Salesforce

I’m tinkering around with using Knowledge Triggers from the browser extension on Salesforce for a call centre client. For some reason, the don’t get triggered when I am on a call (using SF Service Cloud Voice), even though the right keyword is there on the SF screen, but as soon as the call ends, the trigger shows up. Any ideas why this happening? It’s an important one cause we want to be able to surface the right Guru articles for their call centre agents while they are taking calls, so using the keywords on the SF screens to try and trigger this. Any help is much appreciated!

Is there a way to automatically alphabetize sections and Groups?

Hi all! I add a couple of quick questions for the group. Is there a way to automatically alphabetize sections / groups? Also is there any way to show the last updated/verified timestamp on the front of the card? To clarify, one user doesn't want to click the card then click Details he was hoping we could potentially put the last verified timestamp on the front of the card itself. Let me know, thank you!

Does Guru have a "Pass" feature in the AI Training Center?

Perhaps it’s not necessarily a “pass,” but a way to negate any AI related questions that are invalid? For example, if my staff enters a single word with a question mark after it, then the entry goes into the AI Training Center. I will then go into the AI Training Center to review and assign a status to each entry. However, there are those entries that simply don’t make sense or you know that they are irrelevlant to the type of knowledge housed in Guru for your respective line of work.For example, I enter, “Cat?”Then, I go into the AI Training Center and there are no results and no cards to connect to because we don’t work with animals.How can I remove, “Cat?”Is there a way to assign a different status other than flagged, or marked correct? I don’t want to keep “no status” entries in my list. Perhaps include a “Not applicable” option?

Guru Extension Tracking Behaviour

I’ve noticed that the Guru Chrome extension has started to make requests to https://js.userflow.com/es2020/userflow.js and https://api.rollbar.com/api/1/item/While most sites have CORS policies that block these requests it would appear that the extension is now tracking user behaviour. Is this known? Did I miss a change in privacy/Ts&Cs?

How can i include a speficic url to guru knowlege base

Guru is all about knowledge.We have a lot of specific knowledge inhouse but google has even more knowledge. there are some website which have all the information we need and could almost copy paste certain pages as cards into our GetGuru.Now if we do that we would have to update the gards evey so often to keep it updated in guru (to update guru in case changes have accured on this specific website.As getguru is an AI tool there must be a better solution to this.How do i include pecific URL’s (e.g. Government website) in our own knowledge base to make sure those websites / urls are being included in finding an answer for us.

Bug: Margin misconfiguration when deleting content.

Hello Team! I would like to submit a bug report in Guru, which is sometimes triggered when I select and delete multiple words; in these cases, the margins are bugged and the text is displaced all the way to the left of the card, messing with the formatting. In addition:The only way to “remove” said bug, is to go to the previous paragraph, and use the Supr key to delete the paragraph where the bug is located. The bug removal is temporary, as it can appear once again if multiple content is selected, then deleted. This also affects the Title space of the card While it does not appear on 100% of the times we delete content, it can be triggered multiple times in the same card. Refreshing and/or restarting Guru does not solve the issue. Once the bug appears, the Delete key does not remove the typed content, unless it is previously selected. In addition, the Space key does not work in creating a new paragraph I’m attaching a screenshot as evidence, hoping it is helpful for the bug report. Lo

Event Sharing in Guru via Homepages

We are trying to use the Guru homepage to share out information about events, etc. We do not have Google Calendar, and it seems like an O365 iframe calendar isnt really that feasible, so would love to hear what ideas people have?

Problems with Suggested Answers in Slack

I tried out Suggested Answers in Slack and have three major complaints…It answers every question posted, regardless of whether it has an answer or not. This is super annoying because many questions in slack are not related to wiki/intranet (i.e. “what do yall think of X?” or “anyone have a problem with doing Y?”). It would be much better if the bot would only answer questions that it finds a decent answer for. I am unable to disable Suggested Answers in Slack! I tried disabling it by removing the channel in Settings → Apps & Integrations → Apps → Slack → Manage → Suggested answers. I then also tried kicking the bot from the channel and re-adding it. Both attempts failed and the bot still tried answer every single question posted in the channel. Finally I removed the app integration from Slack entirely, which leads me to my final complaint… The app was successfully removed from Slack, however it still shows up as installed in Guru. So when I try to reinstall the app it just brings

Way to prevent every link from opening in a new tab?

I’m not sure if this is a setting in our specific instance, a general guru thing, or a user preference I’ve been able to locate but almost every link in a guru card opens up a new tab (they all have `target=”_blank”` in the anchor element). This is particularly frustrating when I’m going through a card with numerous links. I’ve read through the post When do Guru card links open in new tabs? but I would prefer to not have to install a Chrome extension and also use other browsers. Is there a setting somewhere that can remove the `target=”_blank”` attribute from links in a card?

Fading of the banner on custom homepage

Hi team!We just published our brand new custom Guru Homepage 🎉We noticed that there is some weird fading of the banner on top of the page which is decreasing the quality of the design we created. The original image looks like this: But when upload the image, it looks like this: Is it some default setting on the background? Can this be changed somehow?Thanks!

Does anybody have a good process for reconciling folder urls?

One of the things I love best about Guru is that the card url doesn’t change if it gets reorganized in folders or collections. Most of the time any linking (in other cards, sharing in Slack) is too a specific card, but on occasion we link to folders because the content is dynamic (either lots of cards apply to the topic or things are always getting added).The on occasion we reorganize and delete folders for better IA. But there is no easy way to find if we’re linking to folders in our cards that will have changed or to resurrect a folder url if it’s already been deleted. (Though I might be overlooking something.) Anybody have a good process for handling these rare instances?

Reducing Customer Support hold times with Guru

Hope that this finds you all well. We are a product manufacturer of clean energy solutions (solar+storage) and sell to distributors and installers. We have a challenge to reduce our Technical Support hold times for installer who call in to ask a question or troubleshoot their system. I was looking for specific case studies or best practices about using Guru to surface knowledge quickly to chip away at these hold times. Trying to build a case for further adoption of Guru along these lines. Thanks in advance for your time with this.

Help me understand proper content structuring

I’m having a little trouble understanding how I should structure my content so that it makes sense to the end users.I need to create help docs for applications usage like email, leave management, database tools, etc. The problem is some of these applications are used company-wide while others are specific to an individual department.If I structure my collections by department, where do the common applications belong? It seems it might be confusing for users to have their application docs spread across multiple collections.How are others handling this? Do you just put all your app usage docs in a single collection, spread them across multiple collections or do you create duplicate boards/cards for each department?

Do you have any tips on how to implement new software at your company?

`Hey everyone!` Special thanks to those who attended the Guru Deep Dive today with @csouter and @shona! We had a bunch of questions roll in re: how to implement new software. Continuing the awesome conversation here with these questions from @becci.howe: 1. Do you have any tips for keeping engagement high once the system has been implemented and in use for a while. Aka when the "shiny new" feeling has worn off? 2. Do you have any tips around marrying up the way our staff are searching versus tag management success? Would you spend time directing ways to search, or manage how teams are actively searching reactively?
