Changing the Order Questions are Asked in an Interview

Problem

I have completed automation on my template but when I test assemble it, I find that I want the questions asked in a different order than how HotDocs is asking them. Is there some way to override the order dialogs are asked?

Solution

By default, HotDocs generates this interview by asking variables as it reads them in the template. When a variable is linked to a dialog, the dialog is asked. For most templates, this default interview is sufficient. However, there may be times when you want to control the order questions are asked.

There are two ways to accomplish this: 1) Use an ASK instruction to ask a single dialog at a specific place in the interview, and 2) use an INTERVIEW computation to define the order of all dialogs in template.
