The Work Section task bar

Along the top of the specification Work Section is the Specification Task Bar. From here you can easily perform a number of common tasks

The Manage and Print tab loads a new toolset along the top of the main panel. This allows you to manage your project details and export your specification.

The View Mode allows you to quickly view all sections with some limited functionality

The Outline Mode lists the section titles and clause headings only. It also allows you to move those clauses up and down - just drag and drop to change the clause order. The document numbering automatically updates when the document is refreshed.

  • And the Selections, with specific data on Performance, Materials, and the systems being specified
