The WashU IT Knowledge Management project, one of the top four initiatives identified in the WashU IT Operating Model, is going live on August 24.  

To prepare for a successful launch, the Service Management Office is inviting all WashU IT knowledge content creators to attend one of the upcoming Knowledge Content Creator Training sessions. 

Select a Date/Time to Register:  

Wednesday, 8/12/26, 2-3 p.m.  

Tuesday, 8/18/26, 1-2 p.m.  

Friday, 8/21/26, 1-2 p.m.  

  • Each session is 60 minutes and supports the rollout of the Operating Model Knowledge Management Project. 
  • Multiple sessions are available. Participants are welcome to attend more than one; however, all Knowledge Content Creator Training sessions cover the same content. 
  • These sessions are intended for anyone who creates or edits content for the ServiceNow Knowledge Base.  
  • Note: Content creators must have an ITIL license. 
  • All sessions will be recorded for future reference.  

What Content Creators will learn: 

  1. How to determine what belongs in the Knowledge Base vs. elsewhere.  
  1. The standard template for a Knowledge Base article – what goes where, and how the fields work.  
  1. Formatting, including accessibility considerations and requirements.  
  1. Standards for content quality and how knowledge approvers (Content Owners) will apply them.  
  1. Content categories and approval structure.  

While topics 1–4 build on guidance that has been shared with WashU IT previously, this training brings the information together in a consistent, structured format and introduces new Knowledge Management features. Topic 5 is entirely new and will introduce important changes to the category and approval workflow.
