The Help Feature

Modified on Wed, 9 Oct at 1:59 PM

The platform navigation bar includes a Help dropdown that provides access to the Perceptyx Knowledge Base and enables you to contact Customer Support or give feedback. These user resources help you learn how to use the platform, submit and track support tickets, and report an issue or provide feedback.


All the Help resources reside in the Perceptyx Helpdesk portal. You can navigate to any of them within the portal; however, the Help dropdown takes you directly to each specific resource.

Knowledge Base 

The Knowledge Base is a collection of articles that puts knowledge at your fingertips with written overviews and step-by-step instructions for using platform pages, features, and functionality as well as content to help you design and build your listening events. Articles are grouped into folders that introduce you to the platform and progress through the phases of designing, building, launching, and managing listening events, as well as analyzing results and taking action. You can find articles by viewing folder contents or searching by a key word or phrase.
