Section variables exist in the section and document in which they are included. You use section variables to specify elements defined from multiple dashboard sections (provided that each section declares a function of the same name).
You can call the same-named function by typing
ActiveDocument.Sections["Dashboard"].myFunction(myParam)
(myParam) can be defined in two ways:
In this.Parent.myFunction=myFunction, this.Parent is the parent object of this, which can be a Fields or Shapes object and is the object to which the script belongs.
In this.myFunction=myFunction, the object belongs to the OnActivate or OnDeactivate method of the section and this is the section object.
