Hi Pooja,
Please check the thread below.
Re: Helsinki Service Portal - Questions
there is not a straight forward solution for it. you might need to change or create your custom widget for it.
goranlundqvist can give you the correct answer

Hi Pooja,
Service Portal is designed in such a way that only one Knowledge Base can be configured on one portal. If you want your own knowledge base then you can configure it on Portal as mentioned below in Portal.
Also, Knowledge base can have n number of categories. But If knowledge category does not have any article in publish state then category will not be shown in the category widget of Knowledge base in Service Portal.
If you want your category should be present there then create atleast one article under that category in publish state.
If you want to customize it for all knowledge base then you will have to create your own widget.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ujjawal

And if you want more than one knowledge base in a portal, you need to do some more customization on for example widgets.
