We’ve been adding a host of new articles and survey resources to our Help Centre; here are some of the most noteworthy of them:
Quota Monitoring for Analyse & Vista
This article shows the use of the Read quota function in a Closed by scripts created variable. We combine this function with table arithmetic scripts to create a portfolio that will allow you to monitor the progress of your quotas as new data is collected. The examples are shown in Analyse and Vista 6.
This simple yet complete solution only requires you use the latest version of AskiaVista (6.0.3.8) and Analyse (5.3.5.2) and higher; of course, you’ll also need a survey with at least one quota question with some data!
Check the example Quota Monitoring setup in AskiaVista online and read the full article to start monitoring your quota management during fieldwork!
Using table arithmetics to lookup other tables
This article details the use of arithmetic calculations to look up data from one table layout (broken into separate tables by edge response) into another table layout (summary in single table).
Basically, the idea is to create a new tab definition which has the structure required and then do a lookup of the values from the original table(s) into this new table (by using the GetTable method). The original tables are broken by edge response to produce 7 tables:
The goal is to obtain the results as below with the attached table structure:

Programming Col Sig (means): Classical Student Test
This article demonstrates how to script the formula for Student Test and Student Test using estimator for testing means. Formula and syntax are shown for tables using regular mean calculations as well as Script (mean) calculations which would be used in a mean summary table.
The article details how to program Column Significance tests for means using both the Classical Student test as well as the Student test using estimator.
You can read the article and check the attached example .QES & Portfolio.
How to disable input on Numeric keypad
This article provides a simple snippet of JavaScript to allow you to disable input from the respondent’s or interviewer’s Numeric keypad.
This snippet works for askiaweb as well as askiavoice and askiaface (when using web screens).
Read the full article to start using the code snippet.
Design FAQ
Rather than an article, this Help Centre page list many of the most frequently asked questions concerning askiadesign. Here are some examples of such questions:
- How should I name my survey questions?
- How can I change the default theme for my surveys?
- Is my version of askiadesign up-to-date?

There are many more such questions, so don’t hesitate to check out the FAQ page to see what it’s all about!
Embed an online video in a questionnaire
This article demonstrate the process of embedding video content from an online video source (e.g Youtube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, …) in your survey:

New ADC: map
A new map Askia Design Control! This one is a bit particular as it allows you to many different maps for your survey controls:
- France
- United Kingdom
- USA
- Germany
- Belgium
- Italy
Below, some of the maps:
New ADC: pinboard
This brand new Askia Design Control allows you to provide rating-like annotations to one or more images. It is extremely simple to add to your survey as it only requires an open-ended question in a nested loop.
See the video demo below:
You can also take a look at the source article to pick up the ADC or the example survey.
New ADC: auto-complete
This last Askia Design Control allows you to provide a searchable list of responses to your interviewers and/or respondents. This simple survey control just requires an open-ended question and the data source for the responses (XLS, XLSX, CSV, … converted to JSON).
See the below video introduction:
You can once again read the original article to download the ADC and check out the example survey.
