Wikis
Wikis are an efficient way to gather and distribute information in the community. In each wiki, there are submitted ideas, solutions, and best practices that were carefully written by other users and SailPoint employees. Some wiki articles cover proper guidelines to install a connector while others provide definitions for certain product features. The wikis contain an abundance of helpful articles that provide in-depth information about various topics within both IdentityIQ and IdentityNow.
Accessing the IdentityIQ wiki
Begin by selecting the Community tab in top of your screen and then click the IdentityIQ wiki link under the Knowledge section.
Accessing the IdentityNow wiki
Start by selecting the Community tab in top of your screen and then click the IdentityNow wiki link under the Knowledge section.
Finding specific topics in SailPoint's wikis
There are two ways to find wiki articles on a specific topic which are by searching for a term in the knowledge base or by using the labels in the sidebar.
Finding articles on a specific topic via labels
To find articles on a specific topic by via labels, start by locating the Labels section to the right of the wiki articles, and then click on the label you want to find more information about.
Finding articles on a specific topic via search
Start by locating the text field directly below the IdentityIQ or IdentityNow wiki title, type in the term or phrase you are interested in learning more about, and then click the magnifying glass icon to start your search query.
Note: A few posts in the community's knowledge base will show up while you are typing in the term or phrase you are trying to find more information about.
Once you land in the Search page, scroll down your screen until you find the Parent Category section, checkmark the Community Wiki box, and then checkmark either the IdentityIQ or IdentityNow wiki box.
Leaving a comment on a wiki article
All community members have the option to leave a comment on an IdentityIQ and IdentityNow wiki article. Some users leave feedback for the author of the article while others respond to a user in need of assistance. When crafting your response, please be careful and mindful of other community members.
To leave a comment on a wiki article, scroll down to the end of the article you are viewing, and then type in your response in the large text field.
