Creating a Repeated Region

Creating a repeated region around variables, text and other content enables users to provide more than one answer to a question in an interview; for example, when adding multiple dependents to an insurance document or adding multiple jobs to the job history section of an employment document.

When creating a repeated region inside a table, you can repeat an entire row or just one cell.

To create a repeated region

  1. Open a template.
  2. Highlight the content you want to repeat (if the content is inside a table, select a single cell or single entire row).
  3. In the Field Editor, from the Action box, click Create a repeated region.
  4. In the Field Properties box, under Repeated Dialog Name, type the name of a new dialog you want to repeat (or select an existing dialog from the drop-down list). For a new dialog, click Create Now.
  5. The following tasks are optional:
    1. (Optional) Click the Edit component button to edit the properties (including adding components) for the dialog you wish to repeat.
    2. (Optional) Choose a Format for the variables in the dialog contents.
    3. (Optional) Expand Advanced properties to edit further repeated region properties.
  6. Click Add Field.

Author inserts the REPEAT and END REPEAT instruction around the selection. To test the REPEAT instruction you just created, click Test.
