We’ve recently added a host of new articles to Askia’s Help Centre, for those of you who haven’t had the time to check them out, here’s a breakdown of the new Knowledge Base posts:

Survey intros & outros

Survey intros (AskiaIntro) & outros (AskiaOutro) have been specifically designed for askiavoice CATi interviewing. They allow users to add an intro and/or an outro section to their survey.

Survey intros & outros

The AskiaIntro section will be asked to the respondent for each contact (once per call) and can therefore be used to screen our respondent.

The AskiaOutro section will be asked each time the interviewer closes the interview and can be used with routing logic (and even JavaScript) to enhance it.

Check out the KB article for all the details.

Do-Not-Contact lists

Since askiafield 5.1, we have added the possibility to create a list of contacts you don’t want to call or email: Do-Not-Contact lists.

Such lists allow you to easily manage blacklisted contacts directly from within the interface of Supervisor.

Script calculations in askiaanalyse

Script calculations are a great way of setting up your tables in a more efficient manner. They give you the ability to achieve tables which would not be possible otherwise.

This in-depth KB article introduces calculations which use scripts; it also shows examples of how they can be used to make a table set-up more efficient and concise.

Setting up an expired portfolio page for askiavista 6.x

Askiavista 6’s new Portfolio Link Management allows users to customise & fine-tune their askiavista reports (embed tables, charts, text, images, …) as well as set expiry dates for each such portfolios in order to prevent access after a certain date.

However, by default, such expired portfolios will trigger a 410 web server error and your end-users will be greeted by a not-so-sexy web server error.

This article therefore details all the necessary steps in order to create your own custom expired portfolio page(s).
