# AskActionDefaults

The name of a configuration section that contains the default values for parameters to use in the Ask to the remote server.

When you set this parameter, you must also create a configuration section with this name.

In this section, you can set any Ask action parameters, and set the default value for this parameter, which Answer Server uses when it sends Ask actions to the remote Answer Server for this system.

For example, you might want to set a default value for the Timeout parameter to use for the remote server.

If the Ask action includes an explicit value for the parameter, it overrides the default that you set in this configuration.

TIP: You can also configure parameters that Answer Server passes through to any remote servers or child components by setting AllowedQueryParameters.
