HotDocs Models: answered ( dialog )

HotDocs can determine whether a dialog has been answered using the answered expression. Even if only one variable in the dialog is answered, the expression returns a value of true.

Let's suppose you have a dialog that gathers information about a decedent (DecedentInformation). From within this dialog, a user could open an inserted dialog that asks questions about the decedent's assets (DecedentAssets). Later in the model, you could ask additional questions based on whether these dialogs have been answered:

if answered( DecedentInformation ) and answered ( DecedentAssets )

ask AssetDistributionInformation
