Display Repeated Dialogs Using a Special Icon

When HotDocs starts an assembly, it displays an interview outline and a dialog pane. The interview outline contains a list of all the dialogs in a given template. The dialogs appear as icons, followed by the name of the dialog. If HotDocs encounters a repeated dialog, it can display an icon that more closely represents a repeated dialog: . When you click this icon, the interview outline expands to show each repeated dialog as entries underneath the dialog title. These entries are numbered to show which repetition you are on.

To display repeated dialogs using a special icon

  2. Click the Interviews and Dialogs folder. The window shows several options relating to the way variables and dialogs appear and are processed during the interview.
  3. In the Interview Outline group, select Display repeat icons in interview outline.

To have HotDocs show repeated dialogs in the main level of the interview outline, clear Display repeat icons in interview outline.
