Link a User Section to the Table of Contents Section 000110

Overview

The Table of Contents Section 000110 in the front end only has links to RIB sections. Links to user sections will need to be added manually.

It's not necessary to link user sections that will only be used once.

User sections that will be used repeatedly, as in the case of those added to Office Masters, should be linked. Cross section links are used to link a user section to the Table of Contents Section 000110.

Before a user section can be linked to the Table of Contents Section 000110, it will need to be added into the TOC. Learn how to add a user section to the Table of Contents here.
