General - FAQ

How do you know what version of AviMate you have?
You can check what version of AviMate you currently have by first running AviMate. Then click "Help" on the top menu. Then click on "About". Look at the top right corner of the dialog box. The version will be a number, dot, number, dot, and a number, sometimes followed by a letter.

My cage numbers do not sort properly, why?
The cage number field is an alpha-numeric field. In other words, you may type a letter or a number for your cage number. When a computer sorts an alpha-numeric field, it starts with the first character, and then the second, and so on. So if you have cage 1 through 20 assigned, your sorting may appear as follows:

Cage 1, 10, 11, ..., 18, 19, 2, 20, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

The first character in cage 10 is a 1 and the first character in cage 2 is a 2, therefore cage 10 comes before cage 2.

To eliminate this problem, you must pad your cage numbers with zeros. Example: If you assign cage 1 as cage 01, 2 as 02, and so on, your sort will look like:

Cage: 01, 02, ..., 09, 10, 11, ... 19, and 20.

If you have over 100 cages you will have to pad your number with 2 zeros such as cage 001.
