# Overview

The knowledge base of GLPI allows to answer the following needs:

* The first is to centralize internal knowledge to the various technicians.
* The second is to provide users with information (public FAQ) allowing them to solve simple problems alone.

Only the elements of the public FAQ are visible to the users of the simplified interface. Items that are not defined as being part of the public FAQ are only visible within the central console by technicians for example.

It is necessary to select one or more targets for each item in the knowledge base or the FAQ. The target(s) correspond to the entities, profiles, groups or users who can consult the article. As long as no target has been selected for an article, it is only visible to its editor. The article is considered as "unpublished" and appears in the "Unpublished articles" table on the home page of the knowledge base.

It is possible to associate one or more documents to the articles of the knowledge base.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.glpi-project.org/knowledge/overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
