Understanding Absolute Positional Order in Zendesk
What is the Absolute Positional Order method in Zendesk?
The Absolute Positional Order method is used to sort promoted articles on the Help Center home page. It organizes articles based on the position of their Category, the Section within that Category, and the Article within its Section.
This method ensures a consistent order of articles, allowing users to easily find promoted content. To see this order in action, go to your Help Center, navigate to Articles, and then Arrange articles. Expand each Category and Section to view the order from top to bottom.
