Adding Related Section Sources

In the electronic data file structure, the section source is the child record of the layout section. Section sources indicate the datasets or saved searches from which NetSuite collects information to populate layout sections.

You can associate an existing section source with another layout section. Associating existing section sources to other layout sections enables you to reuse the same section source and its source fields on similar layouts.

For example, you have the section source A, which is a child of the layout section A. But you want to reuse the same section source for layout section B. Instead of creating a section source under layout section B, you add the existing section source A as a related section source.

The following diagram illustrates this relationship:

For more information about creating a section source, see Creating Section Sources.
