end_turn

Explicitly hands the turn back to the user/client when this plan item is processed, even if the DME has more plan content.

<end_turn expected_passivity="1.0"/>

Attribute and placement

Attribute Meaning
expected_passivity Required decimal duration in seconds for the client to wait for further user input.

The element has no children and can appear in a plan or a conditional branch. The explicit value does not change passivity timing for turns handed over by the normal dialogue flow. It requests a handoff at this point; it does not guarantee that all output in the turn is caused by this particular plan item.

<plan>
  <inform>
    <proposition predicate="instructions" value="Follow the next steps."/>
  </inform>
  <end_turn expected_passivity="3.0"/>
</plan>
