Overview
The Support knowledge base is available through the SailPoint Support Portal. To learn more information on navigating through the SailPoint Support Portal, check out this community tutorial.
The Support knowledge base contains fully supported guidance on common issues or routine solutions. We regularly examine our support cases to identify patterns, and target knowledge base articles to proactively address these. This repository is a helpful first line of defense against product issues. Checking for an established solution to your problem may allow you to resolve it in less time than it takes to submit a support request.
Navigating through the Support knowledge base
Accessing the Support knowledge base
Users can access the Support knowledge base via the SailPoint Support Portal by selecting either the Knowledge tab or the Find Knowledge button.
The Support knowledge base page contains a comprehensive list of knowledge articles based on some commonly asked questions. Click on the knowledge article of your choice to find out more information about that specific use case.
Using knowledge search
Type in a particular word or phrase in the search bar and then click the magnifying glass icon to generate a refined list of knowledge articles.
Select one of the four categories located at the top right-hand corner to sort the search results in that specific order.
Using knowledge search filters
Users can filters to refine and customize the search results for their cases based on category, author, rating, and much more. To begin, click on the Filters button located below the search bar and then select the filter of your choice. The results will automatically update depending on the filters you choose.
Inside a knowledge base article
Knowledge base articles are generally confined to the same scope as that of the Support team and cannot typically address issues of custom code or issues outside of SailPoint products. Reviewing a knowledge base article may provide an established solution or helpful talking points when contacting support.

Issues beyond the scope of the Support knowledge base
The Compass Community remains one of the best resources for issues that extend beyond the scope of support. Seeking out the experiences and advice of other users and SailPoint employees on your product's discussion group will often provide useful suggestions and insights that can resolve your issue or improve your success.
For more details on asking good questions in Compass, please see the articles, How to: Forums and How to get the best answers to your questions.
