Sections

The Sections feature in Activity Templates is a visual grouping tool that helps organize activity items and enforce specific requirements for operators. Sections allow you to group related items together, making the activity template more structured and user-friendly. Each section can be marked as either required or optional, which determines the level of enforcement for completing the fields within that section.

Overview

To define a section in an activity template, you will see two separate elements: one for the Start Section and one for the End Section. These elements must be placed outside the intended activity items for the section.

Example Structure:

• Start Section: Denotes the beginning of the section and its properties.

• End Section: Denotes the end of the section.

The sections will visually group the activity items and control how they behave based on whether they are required or optional.

Section Types: Required and Optional

Sections can be classified as Required or Optional. The difference between these types impacts how users interact with the fields in the section.

Section Behavior Table

Section’s Behavior	Required Field	Optional Field
Required Section	Must be filled	Optional to fill
Optional Section	Must be filled if at least one other field is filled	Optional to fill

Notes for Existing Template Migration

• All existing activity template sections that are marked with SECTION will automatically have required = true to maintain the behavior from previous versions.

• If you want to modify the behavior of existing sections, you need to explicitly adjust the section settings to change their required or optional status.
