Control Warnings During Assembly

When you assemble form documents, situations may arise where your answers may be altered. These situations include when answers overflow the field, or when field settings are different. HotDocs can warn you in such situations.

To control warnings that display during assembly

1. At the HotDocs library, click the Options button. The HotDocs Options dialog box appears.
2. Click the Form Documents folder. The right pane changes to show several options for working with forms.
3. In the While Filling group, make selections based on the following information:
   • Select Warn when leaving a field that overflows to display the Overflow Status dialog box when an answer needs more space than the field allows.
   • Select Warn when typing in a restricted field to display the Restricted Field dialog box when you type in a field that can't be answered until other fields have valid answers.
   • Select Warn when overriding a field to display the Override Field dialog box when you choose to override a field.
   • Select Warn when attempting to create a field using the Fill tool to display a message explaining how to create a field when viewing the Form Document tab of the assembly window.

You can choose to have no warnings appear by clearing these options. This will not automatically resolve answer overflow or allow you to type answers in inactive fields. It only means no warnings will be displayed during the interview or direct-fill. When you attempt to save or print the document, you must resolve the overflow.
