Add a User Section to the Table of Contents Section 000110

Overview

The Table of Contents - Section 000110 lists the RIB sections and is updated to include all new sections. User sections (those imported from MS Word, or created from a template) will need to be added manually.

Adding a user section to the Table of Contents - Section 000110 can be accomplished in two ways depending on the need for the user section:

1. One-time use: Manually enter the user section for those user sections that will be used once.
2. User sections that will be reused: Create a one item choice list for the purpose of having the section id and section title match the selected formatting of any project where it is reused. Use this method to incorporate this automation into Office Master project.
