Edit an Existing Answer File

1. From the Ask Question Editor page, click the Edit Existing Answer File button.

   

2. Optionally search for the name of the file you wish to edit by entering it in the Answer File field, or click the down arrow to the left of the custom\ folder and select an .ask.qa file from the drop-down list.

3. Click the Next button, and edit the answer file as necessary. (Follow instructions for Creating a New Answer File ).

Create a New Answer File

1. From the Ask Question Editor page, click the Create New Answer File button.

   

2. Enter a name in the New Answer File Name field.

3. Click the drop-down arrow in the Target field and select an area that your question(s) will target in (this example we will use SysTrack Visualizer). Then click the Next, button.

   

4. Click the drop-down arrow to the right of the field and select the parameter set that your question will use, and then click the Next button.

   

5. Define your answer's parameter set from the options presented in the drop-down lists, as applicable. The following options used in this example, apply to the "vis" parameter in the Visualizer URL:

   Parameter Type	Action / Description
   Fixed String	Enter or select a Fixed String of your choice. Suggested strings include: Desktop; Enterprise; Persona; Risk; Server, Virtual Infrastructure. When using a parameter set with multiple parameters, it is sometimes possible to set several of the parameters to Fixed String and go through the fields sequentially to get lists of suggested strings that are dependent on the last string selected. For example, if "Persona" is selected for "vis", the suggested strings for the "dataset" parameter will include only the datasets for Persona Visualizer.
   Input Matcher	Optionally select an Input Matcher from the drop-down list: None (Use Parameter); Package; System; User; OperatingSystem; Website; Host
