Caption - XpressDox

The XpressDox caption command can be used to make the question text for a field more descriptive on the interview.

 

Command structure:

«Caption(FieldName,Descriptive Caption Text)»

 

Examples of usage:

Simple example:

«FirstName»
«Caption(FirstName,First Name of Defendant)»

 

Style the caption with a font and color:

«Caption(FirstName,^b^@Blue/Microsoft Sans Serif/10@First Name of Defendant)»

 

Style a portion of the text:

«Caption(FirstName,@Blue/Microsoft Sans Serif/10@^b^First Name^be^ of Defendant)»

 

Use data captured into a field in your caption:

«FirstName»
«DOB»
«Caption(DOB,Enter the Date of Birth of <FirstName>)»

 

With the introduction of the Question command in v14, a Caption can be specified inside the Question. Similarly, a Caption can also be specified when using a Define (not only v14).
