You use this dialog to select a section and open it in the Section Editor for modifying the section fields (if the selected section is a data section) or field headers (if the selected section is a header section).

Find section

Allows you to type the name of a specific section and select it under Existing pages.

Select section

This pane displays all sections shipped with Smart Instrumentation and also sections that you created on the basis of the shipped sections.

Section

Displays the section name.

Description

Displays the description of the section.

Process Function (only available for a data section)

Displays the section process function. You do not define the section process function in Smart Instrumentation. When creating a section on the basis of an existing section, the software always retains in the new section the process function of the existing section. It is possible, however, to assign a different process function to a section using an external tool, such as InfoMaker.

Item Type

Displays the item type for which the data section has been created ( Loop or Instrument). A header section always belongs to the Instrument item type because you can only create a header section for an instrument composite specification.

Section Type

Indicates whether the section is a header or data section. A section whose item type is Loop can only belong to the Data Section type because a loop composite specification does not include a header section.
