KB browse criteria

When you browse KBs, you select values for the criteria described below. You find only those records that match the selected values.

The default value for each criterion is "All." If you accept the default value for every one, you find all the KB records available to you, which may be thousands of records. When you select other values for one or more criteria, you limit the number of records that you find.
