PermitDataElementsInMultipleTabs
This command allows a single data element to be captured on more than one tab in the interview. Until now a data element could appear on one tab only. Naming the same element in multiple tab commands would produce an error, and the interview would not run. You now have the option of showing it multiple tabs.
Example:
«PermitDataElementsInMultipleTabs(Yes)»
«Tab(Parties,ClientName,ClientAddress,SellerName,SellerAddress)»
«Tab(Purchase Price,ClientName,PurchasePrice,DepositAmount,BalanceDueDate)»
ClientName is now captured on both tabs. There is still only one data element and one value: whatever the user types on one tab appears immediately on the other.
| Parameter | Values | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Permit | Yes or No |
Yes allows an element to be captured on every tab which names it.

The command is a switch rather than a layout instruction, so its position does not matter, but it makes sense that it is placed in a code template.
Use case:
Use it for the two or three elements that give the user context on a later tab, such as the parties or the matter reference. An interview in which many fields appear twice reads as though the same question is being asked repeatedly.
