Usage

Use @DocChildren in window title and column formulas, when you want to indicate how many top-level responses a particular document has, or how many main documents are within a particular category. This function does not work in any other formula.

This @function is calculated when the document is opened. Results are undefined in cases where the document is not opened, such as printing from a view.
