Managing Document Sections
Each document consists of one or more document sections.
Each section has a specific content, such as signatures, purpose, requirement specification or test results.
Document sections can be either dynamic or static. Dynamic sections depend on the selection of items from the database, e.g. to print a document with user requirements, you would add a section list of items to the document and select the user requirements from the tree to define what should be included.
Section options and name
Most document section have some options which can be configured through a dialog which is accessible through the cog icon:
