REPEATING FIELDS EXPLAINED

A Field can loop through a list of Parties and display information for each one on a separate line. This is best explained by means of an example.

Let’s say we have a Field called PARTIES_TEL

This Field has two Field Variables:

• One Field Variable inserts the Role Description and the other inserts the Party’s Name

• These Field Variables are separated by Tabs (see the separator), i.e.
  Role Description<TAB>PartyName

This Field loops through ParLang.

This tells the program to go through the list of Parties for the Matter and insert the

Role Description<TAB>Party Name<LineFeed>                   1^st Party

Role Description<TAB>Party Name<LineFeed>                   2^nd Party

Role Description<TAB>Party Name<LineFeed>                   3^rd Party

            etc etc

For example, if our list of Parties for a Matter looked like this

We would get something like this in the document

Client :                                   ABSA BANK

Defendant/Debtor :              Greg Fegan

Plaintiff :                                ABSA BANK

Opposing Attorney :             ABC Attorneys

Attorney :                               ACME ATTORNEYS

Now let’s say we don’t want the Attorney in the list for some reason. To do this we can use the Filter Expression for the Field and tell it to repeat for all the Parties but to only put those in where the Role Description is not equal to ‘Attorney’, like so:

When you next assemble a document the contents of this Field will now look like this

Client :                                   ABSA BANK

Defendant/Debtor :              Greg Fegan

Plaintiff :                                ABSA BANK

Opposing Attorney :             ABC Attorneys
