Q&A

Hi Team, We got a team in Thailand which they will use Thai to search for cards. It’s found that the partial search function in the card detail content is not working, we are looking it to behave like the searching function as confluence or google doc.

Having looked at the documentation on Guru permissions, I don’t think this setup is possible, but thought I’d ask to see if anyone has any recommendations.  We’d like to create a group which has access to edit and publish edits, but not verify.

When we add a comment - we get our emails using @mentions.However, if we are viewing comments in a card and click on the reply button and send a reply - no email notifications are sent.This requires that we start a new comment which makes it difficult to follow the stream on a particular comment.How can we get emails when the “reply” button is used?Thanks for helpTwila

Keeping all of that knowledge straight is a lot to process when you join. Guru is a great way to sort of take that pressure off of you don't need to learn everything right away, but it's here when you're ready.” She’ll cover her approach to:Structuring the Sales Techstack informat

We have a very organized and mature content creation process, and I created a connection between that process and Guru to automate documentation. We don’t have to create a Guru card for every new asset, which helps because we have a lot of new things every month. Inside Pipeify, I created an automation with Zapier so every time we have a new asset, we have a new Guru Card for that asset.” She covered her marketing team’s approach to:Documenting marketing team processes Automatical

Hi folks 👋Looking to get some insight into how people generate Guru content when the same workflow can be performed through multiple platforms (i.e. mobile apps vs the website). Wondering if people generate two cards (one for each workflow) or anchor the card on the workflow and then present the two ways of doing it (i.e. on the mobile app at the top of the card and then the website workflow underneath) on the same card. In my mind it’s six of twelve and half dozen of the other but I am leaning toward the second option as it’d increase discoverability.Thanks, folks!

Hi. Is there a way to route cards to a specific section automatically? I create daily meeting notes and want them to go to the respective section on a board without moving them manually. For example, I categorize these notes by the month, so I have a section on a board that has the month. I hope that makes sense. Thank you!

We use Articulate Rise for authoring courses for our LMS. Rise allows for embedding iframe and other embeddable content.  I recently tried to embed a Guru card and the iframe embed appeared as this: However, I do have access to this card.  Any suggestions? 

Hi! I have a goal to automate creation of cards that include info about our competitors so we don't need a human author. We explored some softwares such as Crayon and Klue who can do that, but it's quite expensive and I want house the info on Guru. Caroline from Guru suggested using 1. Guru knowledge clipper or 2. Zapier integration to trigger card creation based on a certain action Curious to know how other users add competitor intelligence cards to their collection without having to manually scrape the internet for info about their competitors! Thanks all!

Where can we get the SAML metadata to set-up SSO?

Hi y’all!I’ve been thinking about all the different ways folks go about permissioning content in Guru and wanted to share some best practices with the class : ). For a quick little recap on how permissions functions within Guru, only Admins on your team can assign user roles which determine a user’s permissions. While the Read Only role (true to its name) does not allow a user to create or verify content but does allow them to view content, both Authors and Collection Owners can create, verify, edit, and manage your Guru content. This Help Center article expands on user roles beautifully.Once permissions have been granted, it’s time to think about which groups to create in order to best serve your team and its goals. For example, say you would like to have Author access in all Collections. An easy way to accomplish this would be to create a group called “All Access” and add it to every Collection as a verifier (ie. Author or Collection Owner).  We in Guru create groups based on our var

We are in the implementation stage with our Guru platform and going to launch in early April.Looking for best practices around the "Wiki" part of our launch and engaging our team to get all their knowledge into Guru.   We are planning to launch with a base foundation of knowledge 10-20% or so with clear guides and templates on how to add content. Then planning to have a call to action for the 50 paid seats to help build out this resource.  Any best practice on how we can leverage the wiki part of Guru to get all the amazing knowledge out of peoples brains and into Guru?  Thank you.RM

We have a few collections that are synced from Confluence. Is it possible to send KA’s on those? I don’t see the option on the card but wasn’t sure if there was a setting I had to enable somewhere. We’ve had success with getting buy-in for Guru by allowing folks to sync their Confluence space first so being able to use all the features might help with adoption. 

I’m trying to see how many views a card got per day since it was created. Is there a way to do that?  I don’t need the “last 30” or “since edited” - I’m looking for a per day (or even week) of views a card received.  Is there something I can export that would have it? 

We are sharing cards with public links that have multi-page PDFs embedded in the card. However, on mobile, only the first page of the PDF is visible.There is no way to scroll to the the other pages Editing the card to make the iframe big enough to see all the pages does not work - only the first page is visibleAny one figure out a workaround for this?  Or @Guru do you have this as a bug to fix?

I’d like to add markers within the main text of a card that point to footnotes at the bottom of the card.Is this possible?

Is there any way to measure which card templates are being used most to create cards?
