You will then be redirected to the Faq Approval & Edit page. This is where admin or the senior support personnel can view the pending FAQs and approve or disapprove them based on the requirements/content. It is also possible to edit the FAQ content in this process, before posting them as public.

The page by default brings up the FAQ list, which are pending for approval. You can also view the approved FAQ list, by clicking on the Unapprove link at the top. The FAQs will be arranged based on user group display availability. In order to open an FAQ for approval, click on the corresponding FaqID link.

  • FaqID: The unique identification number of the FAQ (system generated). Clicking on this link should open the FAQ in an editable view.

  • Date: The date and time of creation or submission of the bug.
  • Question: The complete question (as it would appear in the FAQ). The content of the question can be edited later while approving the bug.
