<reprompt> element

The reprompt element, upon execution, will increase the FIA prompt counter by one, and then replay the most recent prompt before listening again for caller input. Note the fact that the reprompt element will have no effect when placed within a filled construct, as the field item variable will have been already filled with a value.

In the Prophecy platform, the <reprompt /> element is handled within the <noinput /> and <nomatch /> elements. These need to be added to the Parent list above.

<noinput cond="true" count="1">
<prompt bargein="false">
I missed that.
</prompt>
<reprompt />
</noinput>

Hi Mark,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! I'll run this by our keepers of the documentation and make sure this gets updated.

Mark,

This has been fixed in our internal build of the docset, which will be updated publicly in the next week or two.

Is it necessary to use <clear> element before <repompt/>? It appears from some documentation that I have read that the last prompt visited by FIA will be prompted for again. Is this true? Thanks for any clarification.

Hey,

When using the <reprompt/> element within a nomatch/noinput handler, it is not necessary to use <clear> as the field is not satisfied, it will simply return to the top of the field, replay any prompts and begin listening again. <clear> is only necessary if you wish to revisit a field that has been 'filled', as the FIA will consider this block of execution satisfied in this case and will not revisit it otherwise.

Cheers,
Dustin
