18 Create New Sections and Partitions

This topic provides systematic instructions to create Sections and Partitions for each tab.

Sections have to be created for each tab. The number of sections can vary depending upon the design requirement. All tabs should have at least one section. Partitions should be added to each section. The number of partitions that can be added to a screen depends on the screen size. Partitions get divided into subpartitions.

1. Right-click on the Tab and select Add Section option from the right-click menu.
2. Or click on the Add Section icon in the top right of the Tab screen to create sections for each tab.
   Add Section window displays.
3. Specify the Section Name field.
   Section Name should start with SEC_.
   For Example: SEC_ONE
4. Specify the section details as follow:

   Table 18-1 Section Details

   Field	Description
   Section Name	This field will be defaulted based on the section name provided while creation. It is a non-editable field.
   Collapse	If the section has to be made collapsible, this option can be checked.
   Visible	If the sections are not required on the screen, they can be made invisible. Note: Sections created in previous releases cannot be deleted. Hence it can be made invisible to achieve the same.
   Multiple Section	Fieldset attached to this section will allow only multi-entry block fields to be mapped to this fieldset. Mapping for a single entry block will not be allowed if a multiple section option is selected. If multiple section features are to be provided for a section then this option can be selected.

   Partitions can be added to the section. The number of partitions allowed on a section depends on screen type and screen portion.

   1. For a Large screen, a section in the body or header can have a maximum of 3 partitions.
   2. For Large Screens, a section in the footer can have a maximum of 4 partitions.
   3. For all medium and small screens, a maximum of 2 partitions are allowed.

   The number of partitions mentioned above is including any sub-partitions if defined; that is if the partition is divided into 2 sub-partitions; it will be treated as 2 partitions by the system.

   Table 18-2 Partition Details

   Field	Description
   Partition Sl No	This will be used to identify the partition by the system. It will be defaulted by the tool. The numerical value increments by one.
   Partition Name	This can be provided by the developer.
   Width	The width of the partition will be defaulted by the Tool depending on the number of partitions. For Example: If 2 partitions, the width of each will have defaulted to 50.
   Sub Partitions	Each partition can be subdivided into sub-partition provided it does not breach the maximum partitions allowed.
