View an Answer's Variable Name

Sometimes as you complete an interview, you may need to ask the template provider about a specific question asked in the interview. Being able to identify the question by variable name may help the template provider better understand the kind of information you need. You can have HotDocs show you the name of the variable.

To view the variable name for a question in the interview

1. At the HotDocs library window, select a template and begin assembling the document. (See Assemble a Text or Form Document.)
2. Navigate to the dialog that contains the question.
3. Place your cursor in the answer field, right-click, and choose Variable Name from the shortcut menu. A message box appears, showing you the variable name.
