HotDocs Models: ask dialog

The ask dialog instruction allows you to control the order in which dialogs appear in an interview.

Instructions like ask are also useful when some interview questions should only be asked in certain situations. In the following example, HotDocs only asks the BuyerInformation dialog if the user is a first-time buyer:

[if:FirstTimeBuyer:[ASK:BuyerInformation]

]

In general, the ask instruction tells HotDocs to display a dialog as soon as the instruction is processed. You can create an ask field directly in the model, or use a Computation variable to ask several dialogs at once.
