Design FAQ
My version is up-to-date ?
You can make sure to stay updated by navigating to the installation folder (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Askia) and launching updater.exe with admin rights. or use th program "Check for update" |
Naming the questions ?
We recommend using a shortcut that is verbose enough so you can quickly guess what the question is about, and that it also contains the ID of your question. Full stops and dashes are not allowed, so a recommended shortcut example would be Q1_Gender. Additional information, such as a client-specific question code can be added in the "short caption" field. |
