Answer Server 23.4

# Ask Questions to a System Group

When you have configured system groups, you can use them in the Ask action in the same way as individual systems. When you add a system group to the SystemNames parameter, Answer Server sends the Ask action to all the systems in that group.

For example:

`http://localhost:12000?Action=Ask&Text=Who won the award for Best Picture in 2012?&SystemNames=AllEnglish,AllFactBank`

When you send the Ask action to a system group rather than individual systems, Answer Server sends the action to the groups in the order that you specify them in SystemNames. In each group, it sends the action to the systems in the order that you configure them in the group.

You can include a combination of groups and individual systems in SystemNames.

NOTE: If you specify a particular system more than once in the Ask action (for example because it occurs in more than one specified group), Answer Server sends the action to it only once, the first time it occurs.
