Display Resource Buttons Next to Answer Fields

In addition to viewing helpful information in the resource pane, you can specify an option that will display a Resource button next to answer fields in the dialog pane. (Clicking this button causes the resource text to appear in a pop-up dialog.) You can also control when the button appears.

To have HotDocs display a resource button next to an answer field

  1. At the HotDocs library, click the Options button. The HotDocs Options dialog box appears.
  2. Click the Interviews and Dialogs folder. The window changes to show several options relating to the way variables and dialogs appear and are processed during the interview.
  3. In the Dialog Navigation group, click the Show answer field resource button drop-down and select an option:
    • For the current field only causes HotDocs to display a resource button next to an answer field only when that field is active (or when you are answering it).
    • For all fields with a resource causes HotDocs to simultaneously display resource buttons for all answer fields in the dialog that contain a resource. The buttons appear regardless of which answer field is active.
