Linking directly to a KB article usually means the reader is interested in the content of a particular KB article. Without context (e.g. if accessed from an unrelated page or portal) a lot of confusing information is exposed via the menu on the left. It would be great if we could use a parameter to hide the menu. Example would be a list of possible device choices.
This is required for all items including Service Actions and Call forms.
If you used WSRP instead of LITE in the url it normally strips the headers and menus from the portal. Give it a try - it might work for you.
