To **create a knowledge base for internal procedures and templates**, write each procedure and template in one shared place, organize them by category, assign an owner and a review date to each item and make it easy to search.

In **Jestor**, procedures are written in Jestor Docs and organized in a table with categories, owners and status.

## Why do firms need a knowledge base?

Procedures and templates live in personal folders and in the heads of experienced staff. New people ask the same questions repeatedly.

Different versions of the same template circulate, and work quality varies.

When someone leaves, knowledge leaves with them.

## What problems does a knowledge base solve?

- Repeated questions from new staff
- Different template versions in use
- Knowledge lost when people leave
- Inconsistent work quality
- Long onboarding times

## How do I build a knowledge base in Jestor?

1. **Create a knowledge table** with title, category, owner and review date.
2. **Write procedures** in Jestor Docs linked to each record.
3. **Attach templates** with their current version.
4. **Create a view** of items due for review.
5. **Link procedures** to tasks and processes where they are used.

| Category       | Example content               |
| -------------- | ----------------------------- |
| Client service | Onboarding procedure          |
| Templates      | Proposal and report templates |
| Internal       | Expense and time policies     |
| Quality        | Review checklists             |

## How do I keep the knowledge base current?

Each item has an owner and a review date.

A view of items due for review reminds owners to update them before they become outdated.
